video assist technology

Video assist technology is a system used in film and television production that provides immediate visual feedback. It involves capturing live footage on a camera, then instantly transmitting a high-quality video feed to monitors accessible to directors, camera operators, and other crew members. This allows for real-time review of shots, ensuring framing, focus, and performance meet the director’s intent without waiting for the footage to be processed. By streamlining decision-making during production, video assist improves efficiency and helps achieve the desired visual quality, reducing costly reshoots or errors.
