ARRI AMIRA Software Update Package (SUP) 5.0 refines the camera’s Multicam mode - a flexible, open interface for multi-camera broadcast applications.
The update which is available for all AMIRA models allowing ARRI AMIRA owners to simply and flexibly control image parameters of multiple AMIRA cameras with virtually any transmission system whilst using a Sony RCP (Remote Control Panel), including iris setting.
ARRI introduces dual 6G UHD-SDI support in the SUP 5.0, which improves the cameras’ SDI output data rate sufficiently to allow external 4K UHD recording at frame rates up to 60 fps.
The AMIRA Software Update Package (SUP) 5.0 will allow pre-loaded LUT-based looks to be loaded into AMIRA and used in Multicam mode. Users can create a unique look for a production can be created in advance and load it to the camera, while still allowing image parameters to be be fine- tuned with the RCP, just as in a standard workflow.
ARRI say that footage shot on location or acquired elsewhere will also become much easier to replicate in a live environment. Adopt an even more cinematic visual approach with the ARRI Look Library being launched with SUP 5.0. As a result, it will become easier and faster to match multiple cameras by using equalized looks generated from color chart frame grabs.
The Multicam feature was designed from the outset to be as open and flexible an interface as possible.
