ARRI ALEXA 35 Live - Entry Multicam System

Cinematic ARRI Image Quality for Live Production

The ALEXA 35 Live brings ARRI’s signature cinematic image quality to the dynamic world of multi-camera live production. Designed as part of a complete ecosystem featuring a Fibre Camera Adapter, Fibre Base Station, remote control panel (RCP), and dedicated Multicam accessories, it integrates seamlessly into modern broadcast infrastructures. From sports and concerts to talk shows, premium corporate events, and streaming productions, it delivers exceptional images across a wide range of live applications.

Exceptional Colour Reproduction and HDR Performance

Featuring a Super 35-sized 4K sensor, the ALEXA 35 Live delivers outstanding image quality, natural colour reproduction, flattering skin tones, and cinematic shallow depth of field. With 17 stops of dynamic range, it captures challenging lighting conditions with remarkable detail, providing excellent results in both SDR and HDR workflows.

Flexible Creative Looks

The ALEXA 35 Live combines familiar live production shading controls with ARRI’s extensive creative look capabilities. Its built-in ARRI Look Library offers 87 cinematic looks, each available in three intensities and selectable at the touch of a button. Specially developed Multicam looks provide convenient presets for common production environments, including studios, concerts, and ski racing, making it easy to achieve the desired visual style.

Precise Real-Time Image Control

Operators can independently adjust the knee point and knee slope, alongside continuous fine-tuning of EI/gain, directly from the RCP. These controls simplify exposure matching and highlight roll-off across multiple cameras. Look presets can also be changed instantly and applied automatically across camera groups, enabling consistent visuals and creative adjustments throughout a live broadcast.

Seamless Integration into Live Workflows

Designed for professional broadcast environments, the ALEXA 35 Live combines flexible camera control, efficient setup tools, and advanced connectivity to streamline multi-camera operations. Its integrated features support consistent image matching, simplified system configuration, and smooth integration into existing live production infrastructures.

Advanced Multi-Matrix Colour Correction

Fine-tune individual hues without altering other colours in the image. Multi-matrix colour correction enables precise colour matching between camera channels, helping operators maintain consistent results across different cameras, locations, and production environments.

Quick and Consistent User Setups

Pre-installed Multicam user settings and extended Scene File support help accelerate setup and simplify camera matching. Ready-to-use profiles and saved configurations can be managed through the RCP, allowing operators to establish a consistent visual style quickly across multiple camera channels.

Automatic Camera Detection

When connected to the Fibre Base Station, the RCP can automatically detect an ALEXA 35 camera head configured for DHCP. This simplifies camera changes and enables Fibre Camera Adapters and camera heads to be transferred between compatible base stations with minimal setup time.

Automatic Zoom Exposure Compensation

With compatible ENG and box zoom lenses, EI/gain is automatically adjusted to compensate for light loss throughout the zoom range. This helps maintain consistent exposure as focal length changes, supporting stable image quality during live camera movements.

Picture-in-Picture Subject Tracking

ALEXA 35 Live models from 2026 onwards, along with ALEXA 35 Live Xtreme, feature an innovative picture-in-picture tracking zoom function. Operators can select a face in the image and have it automatically tracked within a magnified overlay in the corner of the frame. This provides a closer view for monitoring critical focus while preserving visibility of the overall shot. Earlier ALEXA 35 Live cameras can also benefit from this feature through a hardware upgrade.

Efficient In-Camera Recording with ARRICORE

ALEXA 35 Live models from 2026 onwards and ALEXA 35 Live Xtreme feature ARRICORE, ARRI’s next-generation RGB codec. Combining exceptional image quality with reduced data rates, ARRICORE offers an efficient solution for recording live output in-camera. For example, more than three hours of UHD 16:9 footage at 24 fps can be recorded without changing the media card.

Live Production System LPS-1

The ARRI Live Production System LPS-1 comprises the Fibre Camera Adapter and Fibre Base Station, providing flexible connectivity for professional live production. A hybrid fibre cable carries power and uncompressed 4K video over distances of up to 2 km, while tactical fibre cable supports runs of up to 10 km. Additional fibre and Ethernet tunnels provide greater flexibility for transporting video, audio, and control signals.

IP-Based Production with SMPTE ST 2110

SMPTE ST 2110 support enables independent routing and distribution of uncompressed video, audio, and metadata across IP networks via a 25GbE full-duplex connection. PTP synchronisation ensures accurate timing, while network redundancy and SMPTE ST 2022-7 support seamless failover for reliable live production.

Complete Creative Control

The ALEXA 35 Live supports a range of established remote control panels, with the Skaarhoj RCP Pro ARRI V2B recommended as the preferred solution. Combining traditional RCP operation with a powerful, customisable interface, it gives operators extensive control over the camera’s image parameters and creative capabilities.

Dedicated Multicam Accessories for Live Production

The ALEXA 35 Live Multicam System offers a comprehensive range of purpose-built accessories designed to support different multi-camera production styles. Available in a variety of system configurations, these accessories help tailor the setup to specific operational requirements. Multicam Extension Sets also allow existing ALEXA 35 owners to expand into live production without replacing their entire camera system.

Flexible System Sets for Every Production

The ALEXA 35 Live is available in a range of modular system sets, from compact entry-level configurations to fully equipped broadcast solutions. Multicam System Sets include the ALEXA 35 Live camera, while Extension Sets provide the LPS-1 hardware and accessories needed to expand an existing compatible setup.
