DIT (Digital Imaging Technician)

Definition

The Digital Imaging Technician (DIT) is a specialized camera department crew member responsible for managing the digital workflow on a production. The DIT's responsibilities include managing and backing up the digital media recorded by the cameras, creating proxy files for the editing team, applying on-set color looks (LUTs) for monitoring, performing quality control checks on the footage, and liaising between the camera department and the post-production team. The DIT is a relatively new role that emerged with the transition from film to digital production.
