Recently this question has come up in conversation quite a bit with producers and directors – what is a DIT?. DIT (Digital Image Technician) is quickly becoming a key crew position and for very good reasons. With the evolution of high-end digital cameras and the many formats and codecs that are floating around it is important to have a position designated to ensuring the utmost quality possible with the digital cameras used on set, as well as providing a smooth transition between production and post-production. This is where the DIT comes into play.
