26.1 Wireless Control Unit WCU-4
The WCU-4 is an all-inclusive and yet affordable hand unit offering up to 3-axis lens control. It includes
a newly designed, super-smooth focus knob with adjustable friction and backlit, optionally pre-
marked focus rings that are well readable in the dark without distracting performers. The whole unit is
completely splash proof for ARRI-typical reliability. The slider has its scale on the 3” display, providing
clearly readable T-stop numbers and optional on-screen markings. If preferred, the slider can be also
set to show zoom scales. With the additional ALEXA Remote license, the WCU-4 shows extended
camera status information and allows changing camera parameters from the remote unit.
26.2 Web Remote (Beta Version)
ALEXA Mini LF has a web remote function for full remote control of the camera with a web browser.
The web remote requires a connection to the camera via WiFi or Ethernet (with ALEXA Ethernet/RJ-45
Cable KC-153-S, K2.72021.0).
WiFi is enabled per factory default, If WiFi is inactive, enable WiFi via the MVF-2 in
MENU > System >
Network / WiFi > WiFi Power
. Without the MVF-2 connected enable WiFi by pressing Function button
FN and camera button 6.
The web remote is divided into the following four sections:

cept for the live screen. Click/tap the screen but-
ton tabs to enter a screen/trigger a function. Slide
to the left to access the camera menu.

vides the same controls as the MVF-2, but does
not show a video signal.

rameters, plus a

icon to start/stop recording.
