4 Introduction to the ALEXA SXT Camera
System
ALEXA SXT (Super Xtended Technology) is an extraordinary 35mm format digital
camera system designed for motion pictures and television, consisting of four cameras
and an extensive range of primes, zooms, accessories and recording solutions.
Combining innovative digital technology with a century of ARRI history and experience
has created a camera system that makes it easy to create great looking images.
ALEXA's stellar overall image quality makes ALEXA images future-proof, no matter
what the intended delivery format. Whether in High Dynamic Range (HDR), with
delivery resolutions anywhere from HD to 4K or when being used with spherical or
anamorphic lenses, ALEXA images look spectacular. ALEXA's reliability, simplicity
of operation, as well as unequalled workflow efficiency and versatility ensures lowest
overall production costs.
What's New in ALEXA SXT Cameras?
ALEXA SXT cameras share the same high-performance electronics and image
processing with the ALEXA 65, and the same look management and noise reduction
as can be found in ALEXA Mini and AMIRA. A new media bay allows the use of new
high speed and high capacity SXR Capture Drives, as well as XR Capture Drives, SxS
PRO, SxS PRO+ and CFast 2.0 cards.
