Frame compare
It is possible to load a previously made frame grab and compare it with the current live
image. Select Compare grab 2 live image to go to the COMPARE FILE screen.
Press LOAD GRAB to select a frame grab from the SD card for comparison.
Press OPTIONS to access the options for frame compare. The following options are
available:
Compare mode Interleave
Toggle
Active on EVF On/Off
Active on MON OUT 1 On/Off
Active on MON OUT 2 On/Off
Active on MON OUT 3 On/Off
Press COMPARE on the COMPARE FILE screen to activate or deactivate frame
compare.
When compare mode is set to Interleave, every other line is replaced by content from
the loaded file. This is useful for lining up shots, as the frame will flicker until the stored
and the live image are perfectly lined up. Otherwise, pressing COMPARE completely
overlays the loaded image over the live image.
13.1.5.6 User Setups
A user setup is a profile of the current settings on the ALEXA that can be saved to the
SD card. User setups can be given custom names, saved to the SD card and loaded
onto multiple ALEXAs.
Rather than resetting the camera to its factory default settings, a user setup can be
used to reset the camera to a user's default settings.
A user setup contains all parameters set in the camera except files that have been
transferred via SD card, specifically frame lines and ARRI Look File 2 files. These
are not affected by loading a user setup and are only cleared by performing a factory
reset.
Requirements:
•
formatted SD card loaded in the SD card slot on the ALEXA
To create a user setup:
► Set all the desired parameters on the ALEXA.
