The ALEXA 35 Base Operator Sets address owner-operators as well as sport and documentary filmmakers who favor dynamic and comfortable handheld operating. The ALEXA 35 Base Op. Set (PL, MVF) contains an ALEXA 35 camera with a Base License (frame rates up to 60 fps, ProRes recording, basic 16:9 and 2:1 spherical recording formats), PL Mount (Hirose), MVF-2 viewfinder, the Top Operator Grip made with sustainably sourced walnut, and the Touchdown base plate system.
The ALEXA 35 camera with Base License can be upgraded through the ARRI Shop via temporary or permanent licenses with the following features: frame rates up to 120 fps, ARRIRAW recording, all Open Gate-width and anamorphic recording formats plus in-camera anamorphic de-squeeze, pre-recording, and look (ARRI Textures, ARRI Look Library, Custom Color Management). Each feature license can be purchased individually or all together in the Premium License.
Note: This set does not include recording media, a media dock/reader, batteries, or lenses, which should be ordered separately.
ARRI’s new feature licensing concept makes the Base model future-proof because users can unlock specialist features whenever they need them. Each of the licenses can be installed for seven days, 30 days, one year, or permanently, so owner-operators can activate them for a short-form job, a longer-term project, or a new career direction.
With the 120 fps License installed, users will be able to utilize the maximum frame rates possible for all recording formats that are enabled in the camera, for example up to 120 fps in 4K UHD 16:9.
The ARRIRAW License allows uncompressed, unencrypted ARRIRAW recording for all recording formats installed on the camera, providing maximum image flexibility in post.
The Open Gate/Anamorphic License enables all the ALEXA 35 Open Gate and anamorphic recording formats, as well as anamorphic de-squeeze for ProRes recording and monitor imaging paths.
The Look License provides access to all ARRI Textures in the camera and on the ARRI website, the ARRI Look Library with 87 unique looks, and Custom Color Management for full control of the image processing path.
The Pre-record License equips the camera with a buffer that continually stores up to 20 seconds of images which are then added to the start of a clip once recording begins, allowing unpredictable events to be captured.
The Premium License is a bundle package that includes all five of the individual feature licenses detailed above: 120 fps, ARRIRAW, Open Gate/Anamorphic, Look, and Pre-recording.
