When it comes to live, multi-camera productions, these requirements can conflict. ARRI’s response is a simple-to-integrate fiber transmission system developed in partnership with specialist firm DTS. The combination of ARRI cameras and the 1800 fiber backend delivers a cinematic aesthetic with the efficiency of a live transmission system. Customers can record in-camera for post, finishing, or slow-motion effects, while simultaneously transmitting live HD or UHD/4K signals to a broadcast facility, stage displays, or social media channel, using standard production environments like OB vans or studios. The ARRI Multicam System knits a variety of components together to give program-makers flexibility tailored to their needs. ARRI Multicam System Features Efficient and flexible system Live HDR in PQ or HLG, according to Rec 2100 Wide color space according to Rec 2020 4K UHD recording and outputs Long transmission distance, up to 2 km incl. power Tally interface Intercom channels Return video interface (AMIRA only) Prompter channel Genlock support (AMIRA only) Slow-motion application with onboard recording AMIRA Live The first choice of camera for ARRI Multicam applications is the AMIRA Live, which is designed specifically for multi-camera live productions. Instead of several external cables linking the camera to the fiber backend, AMIRA Live internalizes these cables, making for a much cleaner camera configuration. Combining system camera efficiencies with the cinematic image quality of ARRI’s Super 35 format sensor, AMIRA Live is a unique and exciting option for broadcasters. Show more AMIRA Multicam Setup AMIRA Multicam easily can be integrated into existing infrastructure, providing interfaces with, for example, PGM Return, Tally (green/red), and Genlock. The system will work with fiber-based transmission types like DTS, Ereca, Protech Nipros, MultiDyne, Sokong, and Telecast, allowing the transport of all video and data signals over a single SMPTE-311 fiber cable, providing power, as well as Wireless (RF) and Ethernet/BNC cable connection. It also allows for on-board recording of any format, including LogC on CFast 2.0 cards in parallel to the live SDI output. LogC recording allows for the retention of all image information throughout the production process but also gives the option of transfer to a color space target either within the camera, or at any later stage of the production process. The AMIRAs are controllable with industry-standard Sony Remote Control Panels (RCP’s), which allow technicians to continue to use the tools they are comfortable with. So, the system allows Sony RCP image parameter and iris control for ENG style PL and B4 lenses, and EF lenses; and cine style lenses (with cmotion broadcast camin). Parameters include: Auto Iris, Black R/G/B, Master Black, White R/G/B, 5600K Override, Auto White Balance, White Balance, ND filter selection, Detail, Shutter, ECS Shutter, Master Gain, Gamma R/G/B, Master Gamma, Master Black Gamma, Master Knee, Saturation, Scene Files, Call and Color Bars. A more flexible RCP operation is offered with the Skaarhoj RCP V2, which additionally supports access to all relevant camera parameters through the ARRI Camera Protocol CAP. The best HDR results, even in SDR Scenes with a high contrast range, which are not possible to capture with conventional broadcast cameras, can be recorded in all their detail thanks to the high dynamic range of the ARRI image sensor, even in SDR/Rec. 709.
