ARRI AMIRA Begins Shipping

News Image
ARRI's AMIRA, the docu-style camera featuring CFast 2.0 workflows with a design optimised for single-operator use and extended shoulder-mounted operation, is now shipping.

The camera features in-camera grading with preloaded 3D LUTs, as well as 200 fps slow motion. It is suitable for a variety of production types, from reportage and corporate films to TV drama and low-budget movies.
AMIRA comes with a number of 3D LUT-based Looks that can be applied on set during the shoot. Productions can custom build their own 3D LUTs in external grading systems, load them into the camera during prep and modify them in-camera while filming.
Adobe Premiere Pro CC is the first non-linear editing system supporting the colour management of AMIRA QuickTime ProRes files. Premiere can apply look files (including 3D LUTs) that are included in AMIRA files and convert automatically from Log C to REC 709.
There are three camera configurations to choose from. Customers then complete their package by selecting lens mount, battery mount and bottom plate. Whichever AMIRA camera set is initially chosen, it can be upgraded with additional functionality by purchasing a license at the ARRI website.
