Arri Alexa 35 Production Set - 19mm

ARRI Alexa 35 – Production Set 19mm

• Industry-leading image quality at native 4K and 120 fps
• 17 stops of dynamic range with filmic highlight roll-off
• “High ISO” up to EI 6400 and Enhanced Sensitivity Mode
• Richer color rendition through REVEAL Color Science
• More creative control via ARRI Textures and wide lens choice
• Complete range of accessories and workflow tools

For over a decade the ARRI Alexa camera family has set the gold standard for digital cinematography. Now Alexa 35 raises the bar even higher with a new Super 35 format 4.6K sensor and REVEAL Color Science.

ALEXA 35 is a 4K Super 35 camera that elevates digital cinematography to unprecedented heights. ARRI’s first new sensor for 12 years builds on the evolution of the ALEXA family over that period, delivering 2.5 stops more dynamic range, film-like highlight handling, better low light performance, and richer colors. The new REVEAL Color Science takes full advantage of the sensor’s image quality and provides a fast, simple workflow, while ARRI Textures enhance in-camera creative control. Easy operation, robust build quality, new electronic accessories, and a complete new mechanical support system round out the ALEXA 35 platform

The ALEXA 35 Production Set meets the workflow needs of a traditional camera department and is ideal for most crews working on large feature film, TV drama, and commercial productions. Both 15 mm lightweight and 15 mm or 19 mm studio rod standards are supported on the improved CBP-5 or CBP-6 bridge plate and shoulder pad. The new, full-size top handle CCH-5 and extendable VMB-5 viewfinder bracket offer rock-solid support, and can be rapidly removed without tools when changing shooting modes. Several side bracket options provide a plethora of mounting points for various accessories.

More dynamic range

ALEXA 35 measures at 17 stops of dynamic range (exposure latitude), far more than any other digital cinema camera. Filmmakers gain 1.5 stops in the highlights and a stop in the shadows over previous ALEXA cameras, while retaining the naturalistic, film-like highlight roll-off. Sophisticated stray-light suppression ensures that the full character and contrast range of each lens is captured. Together, the increased dynamic range and stray light control make it easier to handle any lighting conditions on set, increase flexibility in post, and provide the best possible source for HDR (High Dynamic Range) projects.

More sensitivity

Impressively low noise and sensitivity settings ranging from EL 160 to EL 6400 make Alexa 35 a “High ISO” camera. An optional Enhanced Sensitivity Mode can be applied to settings between EL 25600 and EL 6400, producing an even cleaner image in low light.

More accurate colors

ARRI’s discussions with filmmakers and careful review of the image pipeline have led to significant image quality enhancements and a faster, easier workflow. REVEAL Color Science is a suite of new image processing steps used by ALEXA 35 internally and also available through leading third-party postproduction tools for ARRIRAW processing. 

More creative control

ARRI Textures provide a new and unique way for cinematographers to exert greater creative control on set. A texture defines the amount and character of gran in an image, as well as the amount of contrast at different levels of detail, perceived by the viewer as sharpness.

Choose your digital film stock

ARRI Textures allow you to alter the amount and character of grain in the image, and the amount of contrast at different levels of detail, perceived as sharpness. Previous ALEXA cameras were pre-programmed with a default texture, but ALEXA 35 lets you choose from a menu of ARRI Textures, like selecting a film stock. Texture attributes can be very subtle and are best viewed on a large, high-quality HDR monitor. Example images below have been zoomed in around 500% from the original frame size, in order to illustrate the effect of ARRI Textures on fine detail.

Wide lens choice

ALEXA 35 can be used with a vast array of modern or vintage, anamorphic or spherical, Super 35 or large-format lenses, giving you a far broader lens choice if you want to shoot with ARRI cameras while fulfilling native 4K mandates. For instance, the exceptionally wide focal length range of the ARRI Signature lens family makes it just as suitable for Super 35 as for large format, delivering beautifully rich and textured images that take full advantage of the new ALEXA 35 sensor.

20 recording formats

A total of 20 ARRIRAW and Apple ProRes recording formats, incorporating efficient in-camera downsampling and anamorphic de-squeezing, allow you to optimize data rate, resolution, and other parameters, based on your individual needs. Whatever your aspect ratio choice and whatever your deliverable requirements, there is an ALEXA 35 recording format ideally suited to your production.

Fast and easy operation

ALEXA 35 is the smallest fully featured ARRI production camera ever, packing the features and processing power of a larger ALEXA into a Mini-sized body that can record native 4K at up to 120 fps. Fast and easy operation is assured through numerous usability improvements and a simple menu structure that will be intuitively familiar to crews. ALEXA 35 is the best A-camera, B-camera, and action camera on the market, all rolled into one.

Designed for flexibility 

Five interchangeable lens mounts, two scratch mics, and internal FSND filters make ALEXA 35 ideal for changing shooting requirements. ACs will love the body-mounted LBUS connector, built-in serial port for distance measuring devices, and hot-pluggable viewfinder.

New side display

Read status, change settings, or play back clips without a viewfinder via the new camera left-side display. Great for TRINITY, Steadicam, Easyrig, drones, and cranes.

Integrated electronic modules

The Power Distribution Module PDM-1 offers seven extra power accessory outputs, while the Audio Extension Module AEM-1 provides two incredibly clean microphone preamp channels for onboard audio recording, as well as extra power outputs.

Media bay for Compact Drive 1TB and 2TB

Use the existing Compact Drives 1TB or the new Compact Drives 2TB for the same maximum frame rates in Apple ProRes. Or use the Compact Drive 2TB for the highest frame rates in ARRIRAW.

Versatile connectivity

ALEXA 35 offers a host of inputs and outputs for all your accessories. Highlights include two completely independent 12G SDI outputs, an ethernet connector for real-time streaming metadata, and regulated 12 V and 24 V accessory power outputs.

Support for any situation

ARRI has crafted a new line of bespoke ALEXA 35 accessories that expand the camera's capabilities and ensure maximum speed and versatility on set. In addition to the electronic modules, a complete new set of mechanical support items provides flexible options for any situation, scaling quickly and easily from a small and lightweight setup to a full-blown production configuration. 

Built for a long-term investment

Before shipping, every ALEXA 35 undergoes extreme temperature and vibration tests to ensure a lifetime of reliable service on set. During development, the camera was shaken, frozen, cooked, and subjected to blunt impact trauma, while connectors were repeatedly stress-tested by robotic arms. The result? ALEXA 35 is temperature resistant, splash and dust-proof, and built to last, delivering a safe return on investment.
