indieASSIST 416 is a high end Full HD video assist for ARRIFLEX 416 16mm film cameras. It provides exceptional image quality for all crew on set, allowing to judge images far better than before. The high resolution, sharp images show true colours and excellent dynamic range.

With a sensor of 1920 x 1080 pixels, the resolution of indieASSIST 416 is noticeable higher than of conventional systems. The system works internally with 14 bit pixel depth and outputs HDSDI 4:2:2 in 10 bit. It facilitates better judgment of the scene including focus and actors, with high visible detail in shadow and highlight areas.

The system easily mounts on the original mounting positions of the ARRIFLEX 416, which is also powering the video tap with an internal connector. indieASSIST 416 has integrated iris and focus control. Iris can be easily adjusted with a thumb screw and focus can be set with an adjustment screw. Image position can easily be adjusted as well. XY-axis and the rotation of the image can be set with three adjustment screws.

Other features are several white balance presets (3200, 5600, one-touch Auto and AWB continuous), automatic or manual exposure control, flicker free operation and a simple user interface. indieASSIST 416 can be turned on and off with a power switch in order to save battery life. Power consumption is only 3.5 Watt and therefore, the unit does not get hot even after extended usage. Flicker-free camera speeds are 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30 fps and all of their multiples!
