Veriscope was an early film studio which produced The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight (1897), directed by Enoch J. Rector.[1][2]

Veriscope was also a large, human-powered camera created by Enoch Rector. The camera operators were inside the camera, which was a tight wooden structure.[3][4]

The term is also used for the widescreen 63mm film format used to produce this feature film, which was about 100 minutes long.[citation needed]
