Arri AMIRA Live Camera Set

Overview
ARRIs AMIRA Live camera is designed specifically for live, multi-camera applications. One of its key features is the elimination of external cables between the camera body and the fiber backend, resulting in a clean, uncluttered, and reliable camera configuration. This is ideal for live broadcast environments and is made even better with the addition of the ARRI Viewfinder Multicam Monitor VMM-1, which allows for versatile monitoring and control options.

The AMIRA Live also boasts impressive cinematic capabilities, thanks to its Super 35 format ARRI sensor. This sensor, combined with ARRIs color science, provides unsurpassed overall image quality with natural skin tones and a dynamic range of over 14 stops. The camera also has expanded multicam features, including improved noise reduction and faster boot-up, making it a top choice for high-end live productions.

About the Arri AMIRA Live Camera Set
Purpose-designed Super 35 live TV camera

Designed specifically for live, multi-camera applications, AMIRA Live features internal cabling between the camera body and the 1820 Fiber Camera Adapter. The resulting camera configuration is clean, uncluttered, reliable, and perfect for live broadcast environments, especially in tandem with the ARRI Viewfinder Multicam Monitor VMM-1. With its cable-less design, AMIRA Live has more in common with the system cameras typically used for multi-camera broadcasts, but unlike those cameras, AMIRA Live features a Super 35 format ARRI sensor. This unique combination of system camera efficiencies and truly cinematic images, with shallow focus, rich textures, and natural colours, puts AMIRA Live in a class of its own.

It includes controls for contrast, colour, backlight, and peaking (incuding peaking on/off switch), a physical on/off switch for the frontside tally, and two camera user buttons. Accompanying the monitor is ARRI’s adjustable quick-release Monitor Yoke Support MYS-1 bracket, designed specifically for the VMM-1 and Multicam setups.
