	Video assist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A video assist is a piece of equipment mounted onto a movie camera that allows (with the addition of a monitor) the director to see exactly what the camera operator is seeing and thus ensure that the film is being shot and framed the way he/she wants.
		On digital video cameras, this device is not necessary as the chips relay video directly, but a video assist is required on a film camera in order to optically tap what the lens receives.
		The assist usually sends the signal to a monitor off the immediate vicinity of filming (to where the director is standing), but sometimes can be sent to a LCD monitor mounted directly on the camera.

	Operating Cameraman Online: On the Set with Video Assist, Pt 3
		The use by a director who is also the actor in the scene is invaluable and well-founded, but more and more you find the video assist being used by directors who are not secure in their decisions and need the assurance of a committee's vote before they can accept a shot.
		In general I've found video assist to be a helpful tool in communicating to the director, especially in situations where you want to suggest a variation on an agreed upon set-up or offer a new idea altogether.
		Whether video assist and playback on the film set is used as a tool or as a crutch or both during any given day, chances are you will encounter it more often than not.

	Avid Community Forums - Video Assist and 24p
		I am among a small group of video assist operators who do pre-editing on-set, (mainly action cutting and effects compositions.) I have been using Avid Xpress DV for about three years on set.
		In an ideal world, I would capture the video into 24p and be able to cut it in, but the signal from the camera is 24fps pulled down to 30i with 2:3, and I have no way of telling Avid which frame is the A frame during capture.
		Video taps on film cameras don't insert timecode or flags into the stream to indicate what the cadence might be at any time.

		Ocean Video was one of the first production companies to use emerging video technologies and apply it to the film industry.
		The result was Brainstorm, one of the first portable video assist solutions that records the video signal from the film camera to provide producers playback for multiple speeds, visual effects, and compositing.
