ALEXAs easily fit into many different types of projects because of the
versatility of their multiple outputs. ALEXAs can record and play back
Apple ProRes (in HD or 2K* resolution and 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio) or
DNxHD in-camera onto SxS PRO cards, CFast 2.0 cards or XR Capture
Drives, and ARRIRAW in 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio onto XR Capture
Drives. Alternatively, uncompressed HD-SDI can be recorded with an
external recorder. Images can be recorded and/or output in Log C or
Rec 709, with optional Look Files for an accurate preview on set and
with a full set of rich metadata to streamline production. So
disregarding if you want to shoot a low budget TV series or Martin
Scorsese's next big Hollywood feature film, ALEXA can be easily
configured for the task at hand.

Global ARRI service network
ALEXA cameras are part of a long heritage of cameras from ARRI, and
we are very familiar with the sometimes horrid things done to our
cameras in the field. We just have to go into our own service
department to see the carnage! So ALEXAs are built rugged and
reliable with a sealed electronics compartment, a unique cooling
system and the most stable lens/sensor mount German engineering
could devise. All ALEXAs are backed by ARRI's global service network,
providing a friendly ARRI service technician accessible 24/5.
We know what it is like to try to change fps and shutter angle at 4:00 am
in the morning in the rain after a long night shoot. Professional
cameras need to be very simple to operate, and they need to make sure
that a good looking image is recorded, no matter what. With ALEXA we
have developed an intuitive user interface that is easy to learn and
quick to operate. The same interface is used on all models of ALEXA,
with the same menu, buttons, etc., so there is no learning curve when
using another model ALEXA.
