ARRI ALEXA MINI LF
Large format, small camera
The ARRI large-format camera system meets and exceeds modern production requirements, delivering unprecedented creative freedom. Based around a large-format 4.5K version of the ALEXA sensor, the system comprises the ALEXA LF and ALEXA Mini LF cameras, ARRI Signature Prime lenses, LPL lens mount, PL-to-LPL adapter, and Lens Data System LDS-2. These system elements have been designed to take full advantage of the enlarged sensor, while also offering compatibility with existing lenses, accessories, and workflows
Combining the compact size and low weight of the popular ALEXA Mini with the large-format ALEXA LF sensor, ALEXA Mini LF is a go-anywhere camera that has a small footprint, but delivers big images. Recording the same formats as ALEXA LF, but to the new, state-of-the-art and cost-effective Codex Compact Drive, ALEXA Mini LF is a robust and reliable camera that features internal MXF/ARRIRAW and MXF/Apple ProRes recording, three internal motorized FSND filters, 12 V power input, extra 12 V and 24 V accessory power outputs, compatibility with ALEXA Mini accessories, additional user and lock buttons, improved WiFi, built-in microphones, easier access to connectors and media, and a new MVF-2 high-contrast HD viewfinder
SONY VENICE 2 (8.6K)
Featuring an impressive 16-stop dynamic range, internal recording onto a high-speed ASX card, internal recording formats up to ProRes 4K 4444 and 422, and an interchangeable sensor with updated usability and body design, the 8K Sony VENICE 2 Digital Motion Picture Camera is a step up for DPs, camera assistants, colorists, VR, and VFX departments thanks to its high-resolution capture and filmlike imagery.
The 8.6K VENICE 2 can shoot and record 8.6K footage at 30 fps and 8.2K in either 17:9 or 16:9 at up to 60 fps. Its sensor raises the camera's dual-range base ISO to an impressive 800/3200 for cleaner images in a variety of situations. The 8.6K sensor can be swapped with the 6K sensor from the original VENICE to allow for higher frame recording with the original camera. As with the original VENICE, the VENICE 2 comes with a removable PL Mount that supports the Cooke /i Technology lens metadata protocols, allowing you to work with cinema-style glass ranging from vintage to modern. Remove the PL Mount to reveal a Sony E-Mount, to accept native E-mount lenses. Eight integrated and motorized ND filters range from clear to eight stops of ND in one-stop increments.
Sensor
The VENICE 2 with an 8.6K sensor features a dual-range ISO setting with 800 and 3200 base settings while sharing the same color science as the original 6K sensor. The new 8.6K sensor improves on the original sensor, providing more flexibility in the image for post-production work while still intercutting well with the 6K sensor. The 6K sensor block (not included) can be swapped into the VENICE 2 in the field, avoiding a trip to a service facility. This can be useful for capturing higher frame rates.
Please note, though you can use the 6K sensor from the original VENICE in a VENICE 2, you cannot put the 8.6K VENICE 2 sensor into the original VENICE camera. Swapping sensor blocks is not a permanent change, as you can swap back and forth. No software or firmware changes are required when swapping sensors, as the camera recognizes the different sensor blocks and automatically adjusts. The sensor supports oversampling from 8.6 to 4K, or you can window in the camera to output 4K.
