During IBC 2013 ARRI<\/a> has surprised us with the presentation of Amira<\/a>, a new camera designed for the documentary style that includes a lot of facilities for “shoulder camera” recording.<\/p>\n

Amira is built on the same sensor as Alexa<\/a>, includes its same 14-stop dynamic range and is capable of capturing 1080p and 2K HD images at up to 200fps. Most of its functions have been created to facilitate the speed and usability of a single operator. <\/p>\n

Recording and new CFast 2.0 cards<\/h4>\n

It records in Rec.709 or Log C, using any codec of the ProRes family (422, LT, HQ or 4444), on the new CFast 2.0<\/a> Flash memory cards. It does not record in ARRIRAW as it is not intended to stop too much in post production. <\/p>\n

ARRI has collaborated with SanDisk<\/a> for the development of the new CFast 2.0, which will also be supported by the Alexa XT and XR cameras via a recording adapter.<\/p>\n

These cards have a pinless design that reduces the possibility of damage during insertion or removal. They will be released in 60GB and 120GB capacities, and will support writing up to 350MB\/sec (enough to record ProRes 4444 at up to 120fps). As with SxS card recording, the files are being continuously locked to prevent corruption in the event of camera shutdown or accidental removal of the card. <\/p>\n

In-camera color correction<\/h4>\n

ARRI’s new camera includes preloaded looks that rely on 3D LUTs to create a final image from within the camera. In addition, cinematographers can load custom LUTs before shooting and even modify these 3D LUTs during shooting. <\/p>\n

Also included are motorized ND filters, zebra, false-color and peaking functions to aid focusing.<\/p>\n

Other features<\/h4>\n

This camera has a rugged construction for outdoor conditions and will start up quickly, with no setup tasks or other delays to start recording.<\/p>\n

\"Amira\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like her sister Alexa, Amira has low noise levels, natural color rendering and great skin tones.<\/p>\n

It combines the high resolution of an OLED eyepiece with a flip-down LCD monitor, which displays the image when the eyepiece is not in use, and provides full access to camera functions without the need for the operator to lower the camera from his or her shoulder.<\/p>\n

You also have easy access to the configurable user buttons and multi-channel audio options, the latter from the right side of the camera.<\/p>\n
