It’s time! Finally! ARRI AMIRA owners can now make use of one of the best camera output out there: The ARRIRAW.
ARRI is allowing (finally!) to AMIRA operators the ability to record in ARRIRAW.
Till now, the recording formats in the AMIRA were ProRes 422 (422 LT, 422 or 422 HQ).
As stated in the press release by Markus Duerr which is the ARRI AMIRA product manager: “It’s a response to an increasing demand…With the growing popularity of ARRIRAW more and more AMIRA users have been asking us to make it available to them”.
New Software Update Package installation and the purchase of a license
In order to allow the option of recording the ARRIRAW 2.8K upto 48fps, AMMIRA owners must install new software update package SUP 5.3, and the purchase of a license.
ARRIRAW as one of the best codec ever
ARIRAW considers to be one of most respected camera codec out there which preserves color data accurately and beautifully. The ARRIRAW data produced from an ARRI AMIRA can be considered a digital version of a camera negative. It is the only format that retains the camera’s natural color response and great exposure latitude as uncompressed and unencrypted sensor data. The originally recorded raw data remains pristine, providing flexibility in postproduction and raw data archiving. That’s a great news for AMMIRA owners as well to non-ARRI users since it transforms the AMMIRA to a “real” ARRI camera.
