ARRI 416 User Manual

•  Integrated into the camera body 

Instead of a bulky add-on, the video assist is integrated 

into the camera without additional cabling.

•  High sensitivity 

A high-speed lens with an aperture of 1 : 2.0 and one 

of the most sensitive CCD Chips available on the market 

combine to provide an excellent color video image in 

editing quality even when the lighting is set for high-

speed film stock that will be pushed during processing.

•  High resolution 

The design of the new IVS optics was based around 

the ARRIFLEX 416 viewfinder and results in an image 

quality which cannot be attained by add-on solutions.

•  Flicker free 

An integrated digital frame store enables the video 

camera to be synchronized to the film camera‘s mirror 

shutter and provides a flicker free video image from 1 fps 

(in manual gain control mode) up to maximum speed 

because the video image is always taken at the ideal 

position of the mirror shutter. Flicker free can be switched 

off to bypass the digital frame store and to have 

minimal delay in the video system.

•  Full white balance control 

In addition to the standard indoor white balance setting 

of 3200 K, an outdoor setting of 5600 K and an 

automatic adjustment, the red and blue channels can 

be fine tuned for manual white balance. The 416 IVS 

also includes a one push white key.

•  Line Interpolation 

Resolution is improved in camera “RUN“ mode by using 

line interpolation. This results in an image approaching 

field resolution.

•  Store and recall settings 

All settings can be stored and recalled. This allows you 

to adjust all the settings for indoor shooting, store them, 

shoot some exterior scenes, then go back indoors and 

recall the previous settings. 

Up to 6 settings can be stored.

•  Integrated frame line inserter 

Frame lines can be electronically added to the video 

image. This ensures that the lines are visible even in 

difficult conditions. The area outside the frame lines 

can be darkened electronically in 4 different steps to 

emphasize the important image area.
