ARRI<\/a> has released the tenth software update for the entire Alexa line of cameras, ending the public beta phase that had begun in August.<\/p>\n

The company states that many of the new features included in the SUP 10.0<\/strong><\/a> (Software Update Packet) have been chosen following requests from cinematographers, DITs, assistants or rental and post production houses.<\/p>\n

Alexa<\/a> cameras have reprogrammable processors called FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), which allow upgrading their functionalities beyond the original features without touching the hardware.<\/p>\n

Open Gate mode comes to Alexa XT M<\/h4>\n

Open Gate recording mode uses the entire sensor area. The Alexa XT M<\/a> will now be able to record in ARRIRAW Open Gate in the same way as the XT<\/a>, XT Plus<\/a> and XT Studio<\/a>. <\/p>\n

ARRIRAW 4:3 “Cropped”.<\/h4>\n

This recording mode reduces the width of the captured image to 1.2:1, which is necessary to record the image produced by 2x anamorphic lenses. This function has been developed in order to achieve 96fps when working in ARRIRAW 4:3 with the XT and XR<\/a> cameras. <\/p>\n

ProRes 4444 XQ<\/h4>\n

The latest member of the ProRes family has been added in Alexa XT and XR. ProRes 4444 XQ is a 12-bit RGB codec that can work in HD and 2K with 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios. <\/p>\n

If we were recording in Full HD at 30fps, its transfer rate would be 500 Mb\/s, compared to 330 Mb\/s for ProRes 4444.<\/p>\n

New functions<\/h4>\n

In addition, several new features have been added that will affect the Alexa Classic, XT and XR.<\/p>\n
