Arri Alexa

From the manufacturer's website:

" The Arri Alexa is a film-style digital motion picture camera system made by Arri first introduced in April 2010. The camera marks Arri's first major transition into digital cinematography after smaller previous efforts such as the Arriflex D-20 and D-21. It features modularity, PL mount lenses, a Super 35 sized CMOS sensor shooting up to 2880×2160 resolution and supports uncompressed video or proprietary raw (ARRIRAW) data.

We currently only support QuickTime ProRes recording on the Alexa, but will be expanding support soon. "

This camera is also known as (or is very similar to):

  • Alexa XT
