NAB 2026: ARRI Releases ALEXA 35 SUP 6.0 and LPS-1 SUP 1.3 Software Updates

ARRI Releases ALEXA 35 SUP 6.0 and LPS-1 SUP 1.3 Software Updates

ARRI has announced software updates for its ALEXA 35 Live camera and Live Production System LPS-1 that enhance the functionality and integration of the ARRI Multicam System. The new features enabled by ALEXA 35 SUP 6.0 and LPS-1 SUP 1.3 will be used at the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest in May, which ARRI is servicing with multiple ALEXA 35 Live camera systems in partnership with Riedel Communications. Both updates are available for download from the ARRI website.

Multi-Matrix Color Correction

ALEXA 35 Live cameras are now equipped with multi-matrix color correction, which permits users to adjust individual color hues without affecting other colors in the scene. In a live, multi-camera environment this allows more precise color matching between different camera channels, with color correction targeted to meet the specific needs of a production or location, or to overcome challenging light conditions.

Continuous Fine Adjustment of Exposure Index / Gain

Fine adjustment of the ALEXA 35 Live's exposure index (EI) setting is now possible from a Remote Control Panel (RCP). Users can also switch the camera and RCP displays between EI values in ASA/ISO or gain values in dB. A further new feature automatically compensates for the slight drop in illumination that can occur at long focal lengths, continuously adjusting the EI/gain in relation to light loss across the zoom range of compatible ENG and box zoom lenses.

New User Settings for Live Productions

Three pre-installed user setups are now available in the ALEXA 35 Live for projects using 50p, 59.94p, or 60p frame rates, automatically configuring the camera with typical Multicam settings. Scene File support allows Multicam users to create and recall custom video parameter settings from the connected RCP, establishing a unified baseline of settings such as white balance, gain, iris, gamma, sharpness, detail, and LUT.

Highlight Management and Full-Frame AWB

The ALEXA 35 Live's knee point and knee slope can now be adjusted independently from an RCP for highlight and bright area management in high-contrast scenes. Users can now also select between performing an Auto White Balance on the center of the image or across the full frame.

HDR White Level

A new HDR white level setting defines the reference brightness used for processing HDR signals across all monitoring outputs configured for HDR, with options for 100 nits or 203 nits.

Auto Camera Detect with LPS-1

LPS-1 SUP 1.3 allows the ARRI Fiber Base Station to automatically detect an ALEXA 35 camera head when set to DHCP, enabling easier swapping of Fiber Camera Adapters and camera heads between different base stations. The connected RCP can now be configured to connect to the IP address of the base station rather than the ALEXA 35 camera head directly.
