The ALEXA Mini LF comes with several pre-installed ARRI Look File 2 files:
Look Description
ARRI 709 Renders the video image according to the ITU.R-BT709 standard, for most accurate col-
or reproduction on standard broadcast monitors.
ALEXA Classic 709 Matches the color reproduction of ALEXA Mini to the ARRI ALEXA.
ARRI 2100 HLG 1K 200 HDR look file. Renders an image for a HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma, ITU-R BT.2100) moni-
tor. It is assumed that the monitor has maximum luminance of 1000 cd/m 2 . In this case,
the image will look the same as when the PQ look is used with a PQ monitor.
ARRI 2100 PQ 1K 200 HDR look file. Renders an image for a PQ (SMPTE 2084, ITU-R BT.2100) monitor. The
maximum luminance is 1000 cd/m 2 , which is a PQ level of 75%. The diffuse scene white
(2.5 stops above the gray card) will appear with a luminance of 200 cd/m 2 .
Commercial Renders the image brighter for smoother skin tones.
Landscape Applies a steeper contrast curve to the image.
LCC 709 Low Contrast Curve look that contains a custom tone map curve that creates a video im-
age with lower contrast compared to the standard REC 709 output. As a result, the im-
age holds as much dynamic range information as possible, without using Log C encod-
ing.
TV-neutral An ARRI 709 like look, which is more saturated in colors with slightly lower blacks.
TV-warm Same as TV neutral, just with a slightly warmer look overall.
Vibrant Boosts color saturation except for red and yellow (skin tone protection).
Setting the Look
You can choose to use just go with REC 709 look, use another a pre-installed look or import custom
looks into the camera. Additional ARRI Look File 2 files can be added to the camera from the USB
medium. The ARRI Look File 2 files must be copied into the ARRI/A-MINI-LF/LOOKFILES folder on the
USB medium.
1. Select
MENU > Look > Look .
2. Select and set a look from the list or import and set a custom look.
The selected look will be included in the metadata of recorded clips.
3. Apply the look to the desired image outputs, see next chapter for more information.
Playback and ARRI Look File 2 files
During playback, the camera makes a distinction between clips recorded in ARRIRAW, Log C, or Look
processing. When a clip recorded in ARRIRAW or Log C is played back and an output is configured for
Look processing, the look will be applied to this output. Please note that this is the currently enabled
ARRI Look File 2, as the camera does not take into account which ARRI Look File 2 was active when
the clip was recorded. It is the responsibility of the user to make sure the correct ARRI Look File 2 is
applied during playback. When a clip recorded with Look processing is played back, no ARRI Look File
2 will be applied by the camera during playback. For the duration of that clip, ARRI Look File 2 files will
be disabled.
