Critically important to camera operators is the viewfinder. Based on our
experience with optical viewfinders, ALEXA's electronic viewfinder
provides an exceptionally clear image with natural skin tones and
smooth motion portrayal that is easy on the eye. For those who
appreciate the advantages of optical viewfinders, the ALEXA Studio can
be operated with an optical or electronic viewfinder. The electronic
viewfinder includes powerful assistive displays like surround view, false
color exposure check or anamorphic de-squeeze.
The hardware of the camera is designed for the best and most
ergonomic use on the set, including the built-in shoulder cut-out, many
attachment points on the camera's precision machined housing and a
large numbers of accessories like the low mode set, the Remote Control
Unit RCU-4 or the Wireless Compact Unit WCU-4. With meticulous
attention to detail we have added many small but helpful design
refinements, including built-in supports for 15 mm lightweight rods or
differently shaped extrusions (eyebrows) above some buttons so the
operator can feel the button's position even from the other side of the
camera or shooting in low light. The same care has been taken to
ensure compatibility with the extensive range of exiting accessories.
ALEXAs are well balanced and can be quickly switched from shoulder
use to tripod, crane or Steadicam. They accept a wide range of power
input from 10.5 to 34 V DC. Multiple power sources can be
simultaneously connected (with hot plug capability) and a smart circuit
will automatically switch to the one with the highest voltage.
