ARRI comes to IBC 2011 with the development of its ALEXA camera system in full swing. The two new models promised at NAB earlier this year – the ALEXA M and ALEXA Studio – are now in an advanced state of readiness, with working prototypes shared between the IBC show floor and highprofile industry leaders.
The ALEXA Studio is the flagship camera of the range; like the ARRICAM Studio, it is equipped with a quiet, adjustable mirror shutter and an optical viewfinder, giving operators a real-time, high resolution, high contrast image with true colors.
Another key feature of the ALEXA Studio is its 4:3 sensor, which makes it the only digital camera (aside from the ARRIFLEX D-21) to boast true anamorphic capability.
