4.6K Super 35 ARRI ALEV 4 CMOS Sensor. The ARRI ALEXA 35’s new 4.6K Super 35 CMOS sensor gives you 17 stops of dynamic range—2.5 stops more than previous ARRI cameras. Those 2.5 stops are broken up between 1.5 stops at the top end to give you highlight roll-off for a film-like look, and 1 stop at the lower end to give you deeper shadows without overexposing the rest of the shot. This sensor affords you a wide dynamic range that’s perfect for backlit setups and for image editing in post.

Pro-Grade Video Capabilities. The ALEXA 35’s in-camera downsampling and anamorphic de-squeezing allow for nineteen ARRIRAW and Apple ProRes recording formats with a broad range of different resolutions, data rates, aspect ratios, and other features, making it suitable for an array of production styles. You get 4.6, 4, 3.3, 3, 2.7, and 2K recording resolutions.

REVEAL Color Science. ARRI’s newly developed REVEAL color science system gives your images substantially improved color, contrast, sensitivity, and dynamic range when compared to previous ALEXA cameras. The new debayering algorithm helps create cleaner-edged images that are ideal for compositing. The new ACE4 color engine converts RGB image data to the ARRI Wide Gamut color space (AWG4), improving color accuracy, saturation, and tracking, even with subtle tones and low light. New LUTs, which must be used with the Log-C 4 tonal curve, produce superlative shadow tonality and color fidelity, in addition to an optimal color-grading base.

Backward Compatibility. The REVEAL system lets you process footage shot on your ALEXA, ALEXA LF, ALEXA Mini, ALEXA Mini LF, and AMIRA to match footage shot on your ALEXA 35 so that you can intercut among all of it without a noticeable change in quality. While processed images won’t have the same dynamic range or ARRI Textures as your native ALEXA 35 images, they will have cleaner edges; improved color; easier grading; and ACES, Log-C 4, and new LUT compatibility.

Power and Memory. You can power the ALEXA 35 via an optional ARRI B-Mount battery adapter and separately available batteries. The B-Mount system can power both 12 and 24V accessories, which saves you weight and space when you’d otherwise need to use two separate battery types. The ALEXA 35 offers MFX/ARRIRAW and MFX/ProRes capture to 1 or 2TB Codex Compact drives with resolutions up to 4.6K and frame rates up to 120p.
