Camera and Film Transport
The increased CPU capacity of the new ARRILASER camera
electronics enables more sophisticated control of motors in
the camera and magazines. In addition, the display and the
camera buttons now offer expanded and improved features.
Control of the ARRILASER using the display and the camera
buttons has been simplified to allow more intuitive camera
operation and film loading. The two camera buttons now
function as soft keys and can be used to make all necessary
setup entries. At every stage the display indicates exactly
what will be achieved by pressing either of the buttons.
The operator can now specify what film type/emulsion has
been loaded into the feed magazine. With these parameters
in place, the ARRILASER is able to calculate the amount
of remaining negative in the magazines and display these
quantities in either feet or meters. This gives the operator an
accurate idea of the remaining film stock in the feed maga-
zine and therefore minimizes film wastage.
