VIDEO is a deep near-infrared survey which targets ~12 square degrees over the ELAIS-S1, XMMLSS, and ECDFS extragalactic fields, and is one of the six VISTA Public Surveys. There are two new data releases from VIDEO: for CDFS (VIDEO-CDFS DR2) and ELAIS-S1 (VIDEO-ES1 DR2).

The VIDEO-CDFS DR2 release contains a total of 159 individual single-OB tile images and associated single-band source lists. The data also include ZJHKs deep stacks and a catalogue in the VIDEO-CDFS1 tile, along with J and Ks-band data for CDFS2 and CDFS3. The Ks-band catalogue contains 187,869 sources to Ks ≤ 23.5 (AB; 5σ) over ~1.5 square degrees (one tile).
The images can be queried and downloaded from the Science Archive Facility while the band-merged catalogue data are accessible from the catalogue facility query interface. The VIDEO-CDFS Data Release 2 is accompanied by a comprehensive description description.

The ELAIS-S1 release has a total of 401 individual single-OB tile images and associated single-band source lists, reprocessed using version 1.3 of the VISTA reduction pipeline. The data also include deep stacks in ZYJHKs bands. The Ks-band-selected catalogue contains 365,233 sources with Ks < 23.5 (AB, 5σ) over ~3 square degrees (two tiles).
The VIDEO-ES1 DR2 images can be queried and downloaded from the Science Archive Facility, while the band-merged catalogue data are accessible from catalogue facility query interface. The VIDEO-ES1 Data Release 2 is accompanied by a comprehensive description
