The ARRI ALEXA’s CMOS Super-35mm sensor is rated at ISO 800. That sensitivity allows the camera to see a full seven stops of over exposure and another seven stops of underexposure, an unprecedented Dynamic Range. To take advantage of this, ARRI offers both industry-standard REC709 HD video output as well as the Log-C mode that shows the entire range of the chip’s sensitivity, allowing for an extreme range of color correction options in post.
The ALEXA also offers three recording options. Slots for SxS cards allow for recording directly into all flavors of ProRes (4444, 422 HQ, 422, 422 Proxy), this makes for a simple “Shoot > Edit” workflow that is fast while maintaining extremely high quality. Dual BNC outputs allow for Uncompressed HD-SDI capture in 444 or 422. These connectors can also be used as the ARRI T-Link connection for capturing ARRIRAW directly from the ALEXA’s sensor. REC709 or Log-C are available over all of these outputs (in ARRIRAW they travel as metadata). The ProRes recording can also be used as a Proxy file for the other outputs for quicker offline editing.
The ALEXA can shoot up to 60fps, with the ProRes allowing capture at 60fps up to 422 HQ and ProRes 444 allowing up to 48fps. A 32G SxS Pro card can hold 15 minutes of 4444 material or 21 minutes of 422HQ. There are two card slots on the camera. The camera accepts lightweight 15mm rods directly and is compatible with 15mm or 19mm studio bridgeplates as well as with V-lock video-style quick-release plates.
