Firmware

ARRI has just released a firmware update for the ALEXA 35. And as the latest ARRI cinema camera gets onto more film sets and into the hands of more DoPs, the need for improvements arises. SUP 1.2 is a significant update, which adds support for the new ARRI CCM-1 Camera Control Monitor and also incorporates feedback received from industry professionals.

Sony has just released the highly-anticipated firmware update v4.0 for the Sony FX6 full-frame cinema camera. The latest firmware update brings support for 2.0x and 1.33x de-squeeze display function to properly display anamorphic lenses, the expansion of using autofocus while shooting in Slow & Quick Motion, as well as Cine EI Quick and flexible ISO settings to capture the highest dynamic range from the camera.

SUP 2.0 is a major update for the cforce mini motor. It dramatically improves the time it takes for the motor to respond to inputs from the user, making the lens motors twice as responsive.

A new firmware release for ARRI AMIRA and ALEXA Mini cameras include important bug fixes and major improvements.
