The VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observations (VIDEO) survey is a 12 sq. degree, Z,Y,J,H,Ks survey, to be carried out with the new ESO Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). The survey is specifically designed to enable galaxy and cluster/structure evolution to be traced as a function of both epoch and environment from the present day out to redshift z=4, and AGN and the most massive galaxies up to and into the epoch of reionization. With its depth and area, VIDEO will be able to fully probe the epoch of activity in the Universe, where AGN and starburst activity were at their peak and the first galaxy clusters were beginning to virialise. VIDEO therefore offers a unique data set with which to investigate the interplay between AGN, starbursts and environment, and the role of feedback at a time when it is most crucial. The three survey fields (ELAIS-S1, XMM-LSS, and CDF-S) have been chosen to maximise overlap with complementary multiwavelength data, and, as an ESO public survey, for future follow-up from southern facilities including the VLT, APEX, and ALMA. We have also recently established an agreement with the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Survey which will allow rest-frame optical light curves to be measured for distant supernovae, thus negating some of the biases inherent to optical surveys.
