ARRI ARRIFLEX 235 User Manual

The Integrated Video-Assist System (IVS) for the ARRIFLEX 235 

brings the highly praised video assist systems from the 

ARRIFLEX 435 and ARRICAM to the ARRIFLEX 235. It 

reassembles the IVS 435 control structure and of course 

offers the same unsurpassed image quality combined with 

a state-of-the-art inserter to add frame lines, camera status 

and text to the video image.

•  Integrated into the camera body 

Instead of a bulky add on, the video assist is an 

integrated part of 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 provide an excellent color video image in 

editing quality even when the light is set for high-speed 

film stock to be pushed during processing.

•  High resolution 

The design of the new IVS optics was based on the 

ARRIFLEX 235 viewfinder data and resulted 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 

to maximum speed (in manual gain control mode) 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.
