- Overview -

More speed. Less data.
The ALEXA 35 Xtreme is a major revision of the industry's trusted workhorse-ALEXA 35, known for its superior image quality, ease of use, and reliable operation. Building on its predecessor's solid foundation, ALEXA 35 Xtreme introduces powerful new hardware, higher speeds for breathtaking slow-motion images, and the efficient ARRICORE codec.

New XTREME features

High speed up to 660 fps
ALEXA 35 Xtreme continues a long tradition at ARRI of high-speed motion picture cameras. New hardware allows frame rates up to 330 fps while maintaining full dynamic range, and a new codec and Sensor Overdrive mode double the limit to 660 fps.

New codec ARRICORE
ARRI’s next-generation RGB codec makes the highest image quality more affordable by using cutting-edge image science to reduce data rates. The file sizes might be smaller, but maximum creative flexibility in postproduction remains.

Upgrade Path
ARRI is offering an upgrade that transforms any previously sold ALEXA 35 into an ALEXA 35 Xtreme. This extends the product life and the return on investment for customers, giving them access to future enhancements enabled by the state-of-the-art new processing unit.

Slow motion cinematography
ALEXA 35 Xtreme removes the need to carry a separate high-speed camera on most shoots. This streamlines production workflows, saves time and money, and ensures that high-speed footage matches seamlessly with standard-speed shots in post. These benefits are enabled by the new main processor, equipped with more and faster on-board memory. Frame rates up to 330 fps retain the camera's full 17 stops of dynamic range, while a Sensor Overdrive mode allows frame rates up to 660 fps at a dynamic range of 11 stops.

Sensor Overdrive
The new Sensor Overdrive mode unlocks higher maximum frame rates by reducing sensor read-out times. It is designed for situations where extreme slow-motion is required, prioritizing frame rate by making trade-offs with other image parameters: the camera's dynamic range decreases by six stops in the highlights and its base sensitivity increases to El 1600. Sensor Overdrive mode requires careful consideration of exposure settings and should only be used in controlled lighting environments.

ARRICORE
Complementing ALEXA 35 Xtreme and included with both the Base and Premium models is ARRICORE, ARRI’s next-generation RGB codec. Designed to deliver the camera’s exceptional image quality at a more accessible cost by reducing data rates, ARRICORE also provides flexibility in post, since sensitivity, white balance, and tint are not baked in.

Switching to ARRICORE is easy because on-set and post workflows remain consistent with existing ALEXA 35 codecs and drives. The ALF4 ARRI Look File, ARRI Textures, metadata, audio, and the MXF wrapper will all behave in a familiar way. Most third-party tools that already support the current ALEXA 35 codecs will also support ARRICORE.

Powerful new hardware
ALEXA 35 Xtreme looks the same as ALEXA 35 on the outside, but inside there are some comprehensive hardware upgrades. A powerful new main processing board enables faster data processing and quicker access to the increased on-chip memory, while the redesigned cooling system ensures stable performance, even during continuous high-load operation.

5x longer pre-recording
Pre-recording times are five times longer, reaching up to five minutes, depending on the recording format. This simplifies high-speed capture for everyone and is essential for documentary filmmakers.

10% lower power consumption
As a result of its hardware and processing upgrades, the ALEXA 35 Xtreme consumes 10% less power than the ALEXA 35. Whether you're on location or in the studio, this improvement means more efficiency, less heat, and extended battery life—without compromising performance.

Improved Wi-Fi
Better wireless connectivity to accessories and tools like the ARRI Camera Companion App through compatibility with the WiFi 5 GHz band, WiFi roaming, and auto-reconnect to previously nown networks.

Evolving technology, unchanging excellence
While the Xtreme upgrade significantly expands the capabilities of the ALEXA 35 camera system, its core strengths remain unchanged: industry-leading image quality from the 4.6K Super 35 sensor, robust build, intuitive workflows, and trusted reliability. ALEXA 35 electronic and mechanical accessories, CODEX Compact Drive media, and the Live Production System LPS-1 all remain compatible with ALEXA 35 Xtreme.

Incredible dynamic range
Capturing an impressive 17 stops of dynamic range, the camera renders exceptionally filmic highlight roll-off and deep shadow detail. Built to handle any lighting situation with ease, it is the ultimate acquisition tool for HDR workflows and future-proof content, providing unparalleled flexibility in postproduction.

Enhanced sensitivity
As a high-sensitivity camera, ALEXA 35 Xtreme offers sensitivity settings from EI 160 to EI 6400 while maintaining low noise and exceptional color accuracy across all exposure levels. The Enhanced Sensitivity mode ensures even cleaner images in low-light environments and is an especially powerful tool when combined with in-camera Shadow ARRI Textures.

True-to-life colors
ARRI’s REVEAL Color Science renders skin tones naturally and beautifully, capturing the subtlest of tonal variations to enhance emotional depth and visual immersion. Despite its state-of-the-art innovations, the REVEAL workflow is simple and efficient, delivering stunning, worry-free results.

On-set creative control
ARRI Textures offer an evolving menu of in-camera looks that allow cinematographers to fine-tune the grain in the image and the amount of contrast at different levels of detail almost like choosing a film stock. With textures, users can make decisions on set about how ALEXA 35 Xtreme "sees" the world.

Fast and easy operation
ALEXA 35 Xtreme is a compact, lightweight, and fully featured production camera, packing impressive functionality and processing power into a Mini-sized body. User-friendly operation is assured through numerous refinements, a simple and intuitive menu structure, and streamlined recording formats across three different codecs that cover all your needs while maximizing efficiency. ALEXA 35 Xtreme is the best A-camera, B-camera, action camera, and high-speed camera on the market, all rolled into one.

Designed for flexibility
Five interchangeable lens mounts, two scratch mics, and internal FSND filters make ALEXA 35 Xtreme ideal for changing shooting requirements. ACs will love the body-mounted LBUS connector, built-in serial port for distance measuring devices, and hot-pluggable viewfinder.

Side display
Read status, change settings, or play back clips without a viewfinder via the camera left-side display. Great for TRINITY, Steadicam, Easyrig, drones, and cranes.

MVF-2 viewfinder and CCM-1 monitor
Full camera control, menu access, and high-quality monitoring through the familiar, HDR-capable MVF-2 viewfinder and the daylight-viewable 7" Camera Control Monitor CCM-1. Both can now be operated by touch. Learn more about the CCM-1

Media bay for Compact Drive
Use the Codex Compact Drive 1TB or 2TB for ARRIRAW, ProRes, and ARRICORE recording, or if you only need ProRes, you can save costs with the Compact Drive Express 1TB.

Integrated electronic modules
The Power Distribution Module PDM-1 (center) offers seven extra power accessory outputs, while the Audio Extension Module AEM-1 provides two incredibly clean microphone preamp channels for onboard audio recording, as well as extra power outputs.

Versatile connectivity
ALEXA 35 Xtreme offers a host of inputs and outputs for all your accessories. Highlights include two completely independent 12G SDI outputs, an ethernet connector for real-time streaming metadata, and regulated 12 V and 24 V accessory power outputs.

New WiFi antennas
Among the improvements to the ALEXA 35 Xtreme are new WiFi capabilities like WiFi 5 GHz band, WiFi roaming in a mesh network, and auto-reconnect to previously known networks, and two new antennas that improve WiFi performance in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
