ARRI Live Production LPS-1

The system Live Production System LPS-1 (comprising a Fiber Camera Adapter and Fiber Base Station), the Skaarhoj RCP, and a slew of bespoke accessories. These include the new ARRI Touchdown base and receiver plates, an adjustable monitor yoke, an extra-long camera handle, a tally light with camera ID display, a rain cover, and a new, quick-fit ARRI Large Lens Adapter for unprecedentedly rapid setup with box lenses.

The Super 35-sized 4K sensor enables shallow depth of field. Capturing 17 stops of dynamic range—more than any other camera on the market—it handles extreme lighting situations for the best results in SDR and HDR. Colors are rendered accurately through ARRI’s proprietary REVEAL Color Science, from bright, saturated colors to the subtlest shades.

As a result, even contrasty concert lighting is captured faithfully and skin tones are beautiful, so performers always look their best. Low light scenes display minimal noise, and highlights roll off in a natural, film-like way. Full-quality ProRes can be recorded in-camera during live productions, providing flexibility in post. The in-camera recording also permits stand-alone operation of the camera, without the Fiber Camera Adapter.

The modular lens mount can be switched between LPL, PL, EF, and B4, facilitating a wide choice of lenses for different applications. ALEXA 35 Live owners can even upgrade to full ALEXA 35 functionality via an optional Cine License.

Efficient and seamless fibre solution

The Fiber Camera Adapter of the ALEXA 35 Live - Multicam System attaches to the camera quickly and easily, while the Fiber Base Station integrates seamlessly into the engineering room or OB vehicle, supporting multiple simultaneous outputs such as HD, UHD, progressive, or interlaced video.

Extensive connectivity options on the Fiber Base Station include four return inputs and 15 simultaneous SDI outputs for 3G, 6G, and 12G in single, dual, or quad link, as well as SMPTE 2110 IP. Reliable operation is assured through ARRI’s renowned build quality and stringent quality assurance criteria, including a unique operating temperature range of -20 degrees C to +45 degrees C (-4 F to +113 F). The Fiber Base Station also supplies a redundant 2022-7 network and hots-wappable, redundant power supplies.

For fast setup and easy configuration, the Fiber Camera Adapter and the Fiber Base Station provide status display and allow on-the-spot adjustments, saving time and hassle. Dedicated web interfaces allow full remote control, configuration, diagnostics, and software updates of the camera, Fiber Camera Adapter, Fiber Base Station, and Skaarhoj RCP. 

Versatile Control with the Skaarhoj RCP

While the system is open to support any number of established remote control panels, the recommended tool of choice is the Skaarhoj RCP Pro ARRI V2B. It combines classical RCP handling with a powerful, fully customizable interface, making the most of ALEXA 35 Live’s exceptional image quality and offering additional creative possibilities.

By using ARRI’s Camera Access Protocol (CAP), the Skaarhoj RCP enables traditional live painting as well as full control over camera settings, including some not covered by other RCPs, such as frame rate; REC start/stop; playback; selection of looks, ARRI Textures, and setup files; and more.

In summary, the ALEXA 35 Live - Multicam system is a complete production toolset for the requirements of live content producers, combining the visually striking ARRI look.
