Software Update Packet (SUP) 11.0.1 is now available as a download for ARRI ALEXA XT and ALEXA Classic cameras with the XR Module upgrade (ALEXA XT/XR) and for the ALEXA Classic cameras.
Since especially the metadata bug does affect the workflow on some sets, we recommend that you upgrade your ALEXA cameras as soon as possible.
SUP 11.0.1 fixes a number of bugs, including:
- A bug that created problems for third party equipment using the ALEXA metadata,
- A bug that could stop recording in rare cases when recording ProRes 3.2K 4444 at 29.976 fps with audio,
- A bug that prevented the proper use of the PHASE button,
- A bug that made extended range the MON OUT default for 4:3 Sensor mode (when it should be legal range).
ARRI Debayer Algorithm ADA-5:
- ADA-5 is the latest revision of the ARRI debayering algorithm, used to create a color image from the sensor's raw Bayer data.
- It offers better image quality for ProRes and DNxHD recording, for the REC OUT, MON OUT and the EVF-1 electronic viewfinder.
- ADA-5 has already been made available in the ARRIRAW SDK for offline image processing.
- The new algorithm improves rendering of small, high contrast details and reduces the noise level in the red and blue channels.
Expanded Media Support:
- In addition to previously supported media, cameras running SUP 11 also support SxS PRO+ revision C cards (SBP-64C and SBP-128C) and SanDisk CFast 2.0 128 GB cards (ALEXA XT/XR).
Expanded Support for the ARRI Electronic Control System (ECS):
- SUP 11 supports the new Lens Data Encoder LDE-1 and provides a number of new features when using the WCU-4 with ALEXA cameras.
Web Remote 2.0:
- The camera web remote has a greatly improved user interface and better functionality.
Refined User Buttons:
- The 'Check Last Clip' user button command has been split into two new commands: 'Check last clip end' and 'Check last clip start' for greater flexibility.
Framelines in the Metadata:
- Up to six frame lines can now be saved in metadata.
- They can be used to speed up automated dailies processing or can be displayed in post software.
Time Zone in the Metadata:
- ALEXA cameras now save time zone information in metadata, as we have seen that some post systems require this information for a smooth workflow.
