ARRI Presents Newest Member
of Large-Format Camera System
ARRI is exhibiting its latest products at Stand 4L2-01 at BroadcastAsia 2019, including the recently launched
ALEXA Mini LF camera and ARRI Signature Prime lenses, shown for the first time as a complete set in Asia...

ombining the compact size and low weight
of the popular ALEXA Mini with the largeformat ALEXA LF sensor, the ALEXA Mini LF
offers exciting new creative possibilities to the
ARRI large-format camera system.
Robust and reliable, it provides the best
overall image quality for large-format
shooting, featuring three internal motorized
FSND filters, 12V power input, extra power
outputs, a new Codex Compact Drive, and a
new MVF-2 high-contrast HD viewfinder.
ARRI's large-format camera system was
launched in 2018 and is based on a 4.5K
version of the ALEXA sensor, which is twice
the size and offers twice the resolution of
ALEXA cameras in 35 format. This allows
filmmakers to explore their own take on the
large-format look, thanks to improvements
on the ALEXA sensor's famously natural
colorimetry, pleasing skin tones, low noise,
and suitability for HDR and WCG workflows.

ALEXA Mini LF now joins the existing system
elements: the high speed ALEXA LF camera,
ARRI Signature Prime lenses, LPL lens
mount, PL-to-LPL adapter, and Lens Data
System LDS-2. The combined feature
sets and form factors of ARRI's two
large-format cameras deliver all on-set
requirements.
Accompanying the ALEXA LF and
ALEXA Mini LF camera are 16 largeformat ARRI Signature Prime lenses,
ranging from 12mm to 280mm and fitted
with the ARRI LPL mount. While the Signature
Primes exemplify state-of-the-art optical
precision, they render organic, emotionally
engaging images, gently softening and
texturizing the large format. A fast T-stop
of T1.8 facilitates shallow depth of field and
the smooth focus fall-off gives subjects
heightened presence in the frame.
Most of the Signature Primes are now

The ARRI Signature Prime 200/T2.5 F is due
in Q2 2019 and the ARRI Signature Prime 12/
T1.8 F in Q4 2019.
The ARRI Signature Prime range is
the first cine lens series to feature
machined magnesium lens barrels,
making the optics incredibly lightweight
and robust. They are also the first to
incorporate ARRI's next-generation
LDS-2 Lens Data System, with high
data rates and absolute encoders for
fast initializing. LDS-2 extends the
possibilities of lens data and is now
being licensed to other lens and camera
manufacturers.

Newtec Dialog and SatSol Heighten
User Experience in Solomon Islands
®

The Solomon Islands comprise six major islands and over 900 smaller islands in Oceania. However, this group
of islands has recently received a boost to its broadband access...

ewtec has provided a Newtec Dialog® hub
system to teleport and Internet Service
Provider (ISP), SATSOL. The Newtec Dialog
platform is providing IP connectivity for the
Solomon Islands government, with a single
hop service from remote islands to the capital,
Honiara. SATSOL is currently rolling out the
remote sites, initially in ten provincial hub
locations. The education system will also
benefit as the improved provincial network will
be extended to secondary schools.
As one of Solomon Islands' three Internet
Service Providers (ISP), SATSOL currently

SATSOL's Honiara Teleport

provides approximately 20% of the country's
Internet bandwidth. The company owns and
operates the highest teleport in Guadalcanal,
overlooking the capital city of Honiara, and
has built the largest wireless ISP (WISP)
network in the country.
"SATSOL is a locally owned company and
we know just how important it is to stay
connected to the rest of the world and the
impact that this can have on quality of life
and the economy," said Antony Ferris, CEO,
SATSOL. "The installation of Newtec Dialog
has enabled us to replace a double hop link
with just a single hop. Newtec's MxDMA technology has enabled us to
optimize our bandwidth usage and to
transform the overall user experience
in a cost-effective way."
"As SATSOL looks to increase
Internet penetration across the
country, the Newtec Dialog platform
can ensure efficient use of bandwidth,
cost-effectiveness and scalability,

so that the number of remote
sites can expand as required,"
said Richard Walshe, Newtec
Regional Sales Director for
the Pacific. "We look forward
to helping facilitate the spread
of Internet connectivity across
the Solomon Islands in order to
enable the government to meet
its development goals."
The system was supplied by
