ALEXA Mini SUP 4.0

ALEXA Mini SUP 4.0 ARRI proudly announces the release of Software Update Package (SUP) 4.0 for the ARRI ALEXA Mini camera. With a compact and lightweight carbon body and the same image quality as other members of the ALEXA family, the ALEXA Mini has already proved a huge success in many different configurations and on countless production types. SUP 4.0 will widen the ALEXA Minis versatility and appeal still further, with new features that include internal ARRIRAW and Open Gate recording for uncompromised image quality, as well as 4:3 recording modes optimized for anamorphic lenses.

4:3 ProRes recording modes

Activated through the purchase of an ALEXA Mini 4:3 License Key at the ARRI License Shop, these three new ProRes recording modes access the full 4:3 sensor area and support the use of anamorphic lenses. The first mode records the highest 4:3 resolution possible, while the other two de-squeeze and re-scale the recorded images in-camera for an efficient, specialized workflow. Monitoring paths for all 4:3 modes offer SDI setups featuring dual 1.5G or 3G outputs.

ProRes 4:3 2.8K records the full 4:3 sensor area (2880 x 2160) and can be used with anamorphic or spherical lenses. It offers frame rates up to 50 fps and an optional 2x anamorphic de-squeeze for the EVF and SDI monitoring paths.

ProRes 2.39:1 2K Ana. records a 2.39:1 standard 2K format (2048 x 858), which does not require any cropping or scaling in post. Due to the in-camera scaling the data rate is reduced, allowing recording speeds up to 120 fps.

ProRes 16:9 HD Ana. is for situations where the look of anamorphic lenses is desired but the end product is full 16:9 HD without letterboxing. This mode also supports recording speeds up to 120 fps.
