Features/Highlights

• 4K Super35 ARRI ALEV 4 sensor
• Prores recording up to 4K/60p in 16:9/2:1
• LPL Mount, PL to LPL Adapter
• Flexible Licences for ARRIRAW, Open Gate & Anamorphic, 120fps and more.
• Enhanced sensitivity, REVEAL colour science

ALEXA 35 measures at 17 stops of dynamic range (exposure latitude), far more than any other digital cinema camera. Having 1.5 stops more in the highlightsand one stop more in the shadows than previous ALEXA cameras, while retaining the naturalistic film-like highlight roll-off, will be game-changing for filmmakers. Sophisticated stray-light suppression in the camera and lens mount sensures that the full contrast range and character of each lens are captured by the sensor. Together, the increased dynamic range and stray light control make it easier to handle any lighting conditions on set, increase flexibility in post, and provide the best source for HDR (High Dynamic Range) projects.

With low noise and sensitivity settings ranging from EI 160 to EI 6400, ALEXA 35 is a “High ISO” camera. An optional Enhanced Sensitivity Mode can be applied tosettings between EI 2560 and EI 6400, producing an even cleaner image in low-light.

This exceptional sensitivity, combined with the wider dynamic range and stray-light suppression, allows ALEXA 35 to capture the most delicate nuances of light and shadow in more situations than ever before.

REVEAL Colour Science

ARRI’s discussions with filmmakers and careful review of the image pipeline have led to significant improvements in image quality and a faster, easier workflow. REVEAL Colour Science is the collective name for a suite of new image processing steps used by ALEXA 35 internally and also available through leading third-party postproduction tools for ARRIRAW processing.

It includes an improved debayering algorithm for cleaner compositing, a new colour engine for more accurate colour reproduction, a new wide gamut colour space for fastergrading, new LogC4 encoding to contain the increased dynamic range, and newLogC4 LUTs (Look Up Tables) for improved colour fidelity.While bringing out the best of the ALEXA 35’s new sensor, REVEAL ColourScience is also backwards compatible.

ARRIRAW footage captured by ALEXALF and Mini LF cameras can be processed with REVEAL Colour Science, gainingmany of its advantages. This means that the ALEXA 35 and ARRI’s large-formatcameras can be combined on set and can also share LogC4 LUTs in post.

Enhanced creative control

With its Super 35 4:3 native 4K sensor, ALEXA 35 can be used with a vast globalinventory of existing lenses—modern and vintage, anamorphic and spherical,Super 35 and large format. Filmmakers wanting to shoot with ARRI cameraswhile having to fulfill 4K mandates now have an immeasurably broader lenschoice.ARRI Textures is a unique new feature that allows cinematographers tofundamentally alter the way in which the camera records images, should theywish to.

Up until now, ALEXA cameras have been pre-programmed with a defaulttexture that determines the amount and character of grain in the image, and theamount of contrast at different levels of detail, perceived by the viewer assharpness. For the first time, ALEXA 35 provides the option to choose from amenu of ARRI Textures, much like selecting a film stock.

Easy operation and new accessory range

ALEXA 35 is the smallest fully-featured ARRI production camera ever, packingthe features and processing power of a “larger” ALEXA into a Mini-sized body.Crews will be intuitively familiar with the camera’s simple menu structure; supportfor 1TB and 2TB Codex Compact Drives; and MVF-2 viewfinder, now with HDR.Fast and easy operation is assured through a new left-side display, Advanced Colour Match, pre-recording capability, and a slew of usability improvements suchas additional user buttons.

A total of 19 recording formats, incorporating efficientin-camera down-sampling and anamorphic de-squeezing, allow productions tooptimize data rate, resolution, and other parameters, based on their individualneeds. Mixed reality and virtual productions will benefit from the camera’s abilityto record lens metadata in all common standards and output real-time streamingmetadata to ARRI’s Live Link Metadata Plug-in for Unreal Engine.

ARRI has crafted a new line of bespoke ALEXA 35 accessories that expand thecamera’s capabilities and ensure maximum speed and versatility on set. Closelyintegrated electronic accessories offer additional power outputs or extendedaudio features.

A complete new set of mechanical support items provides flexibleoptions for any shooting situation, scaling quickly and easily from a small andlightweight setup to a full-blown production configuration.

ALEXA 35 is supported by ARRI’s full suite of online tools, as well as free-of-charge standalone apps like the iPhone/iPad Camera Companion App, ARRI Reference Tool, and ARRIRAW HDE Transcoder.

Temperature resistant, splash and dust-proof, and conceived with futurehardware and software updates in mind, ALEXA 35 delivers robust and reliableservice on set, a long product cycle, and a safe return on investment.
