several features: interchangeable lens mountings, multiple camera-type/format-types ground glasses, an optional 1/2" CCD-ready B&W or color video-tap, and an optional 2X anamorphic desqueezer. Viewing through the actual shooting lens allows the director or DP to see what the camera will see before film is exposed. Interchangeable ground glasses accommodate a variety of shooting formats (including Super-35), and camera types. The video-tap (via 12V DC power, onboard batteries or external source), gives monitoring capability behind the scenes and an opportunity to change the composition and look of the shot before the shot gets on to film. The UltiMate can record specific shots, and then return to the production facility for playback and analysis. It can save time by helping to set up the next shot while the current set is being filmed. Immediate video-prints can be produced to study for comments or changes. In a tight, difficult or complicated set-up (such as table-tops, crowd scenes, etc.), the UltiMate can be used to simulate shots, practice moves, and review the results, all well before the actual scene is committed to film. The UDF is most one of the most widely used Director's Finder in Hollywood, and now with many leading DOPs in India. Its designer, Mr. Kish Sadhvani has been awarded with the Technical Achievement Award (Oscar) for the design of the UDF.
