ARRI provides ARRIRAW for AMIRA

ARRI allows AMIRA camera owners and operators to record in ARRIRAW.

The change will involve installing the new SUP 5.3 software upgrade package and purchasing a license. It will give cinematographers the option to shoot 2.8K ARRIRAW at up to 48 fps, further increasing the versatility of their AMIRA and giving them more options to offer clients.

The update has been well received by AMIRA users. For filmmaker Tom Rowland, “ARRIRAW’s appearance in Amira will certainly strengthen its place in the wildlife filming game. It will certainly add a new level of post-production flexibility to the rush.”

ARRIRAW data produced from ARRI AMIRA can be considered a digital version of a camera negative. It is the only format that preserves the camera’s natural color response and wide exposure latitude as uncompressed, unencrypted sensor data. The originally recorded raw data remains pristine, providing flexibility in post-production and archiving of raw data.

The ARRI AMIRA is a versatile camera system that combines exceptional image quality and affordable CFast 2.0 workflows with an ergonomic design optimized for single-operator use and extended over-the-shoulder operation. Ready to pick up and shoot straight from the camera bag, AMIRA is rugged enough to take anywhere and features in-camera grading with pre-loaded 3D LUTs as well as 200 fps slow motion.

For the time being, ARRI has not provided any further information on the matter.
