Until now...  the motion picture Video Assist Operator's job centered around one piece of equipment... the venerable VCR.  Helical scan videotape.  Typical characteristics of videotape are:  
Waiting  for the tape to wrap around the heads and come up to speed. 
Waiting  for the tape to rewind for playbacks.  Waiting for the tape to re-rack after a series of playbacks before being able to record new material. 
Waiting  even longer for the tape to wind back to the head in order to review takes earlier in the day. 
Waiting  for the tape. . . 
Waiting  for tape. 
No more waiting... Your VCR can now join another of it's tape brothers, the 8-track, in thankful obsolescence deep in the back of your garage.  Enter CinelogicTM Digital Video Assist. The VCR is replaced by a rugged, custom-designed computer that puts an end to the waiting.  Instant playback.  Instant search.  Instant re-set.  Total random access to the entire day's work.  It's portable, it's battery-operated, and most importantly, it has been field-tested and proven reliable under the most demanding production conditions.
