Arri Announces Alexa 35 Xtreme

More speed. Less data. High Speed uptp 660fps.
The ALEXA 35 Xtreme is a major revision of the industry’s trusted workhorse— ALEXA 35, known for its superior image quality, ease of use, and reliable operation. Building on its predecessor’s solid foundation, ALEXA 35 Xtreme introduces powerful new hardware, higher speeds for breathtaking slow-motion images, and the efficient ARRICORE codec.

New Codec : Arricode
ARRI’s next-generation RGB codec makes the highest image quality more affordable by using cutting-edge image science to reduce data rates. The file sizes might be smaller, but maximum creative flexibility in postproduction remains.

Upgrade Any Old Qualifying Alexa:
ARRI is offering an upgrade that transforms any previously sold ALEXA 35 into an ALEXA 35 Xtreme. This extends the product life and the return on investment for customers, giving them access to future enhancements enabled by the state-of-the-art new processing unit.

Sensor Overdrive:
The new Sensor Overdrive mode unlocks higher maximum frame rates by reducing sensor read-out times. It is designed for situations where extreme slow-motion is required, prioritizing frame rate by making trade-offs with other image parameters: the camera’s dynamic range decreases by six stops in the highlights and its base sensitivity increases to EI 1600. Sensor Overdrive mode requires careful consideration of exposure settings and should only be used in controlled lighting environments.

Incredible dynamic range
Capturing an impressive 17 stops of dynamic range, the camera renders exceptionally filmic highlight roll-off and deep shadow detail. Built to handle any lighting situation with ease, it is the ultimate acquisition tool for HDR workflows and future-proof content, providing unparalleled flexibility in postproduction.

Enhanced sensitivity
As a high-sensitivity camera, ALEXA 35 Xtreme offers sensitivity settings from EI 160 to EI 6400 while maintaining low noise and exceptional color accuracy across all exposure levels. The Enhanced Sensitivity mode ensures even cleaner images in low-light environments and is an especially powerful tool when combined with in-camera Shadow ARRI Textures.
