LBUS Connector (4-pin LEMO, on LPL Lens Mount)
The LBUS connector is used to connect daisy-chainable LBUS devices of the ECS Electronic Control
System (lens motors, ARRI Master Grips, ARRI OCU-1 and ARRI LCUBE CUB-1) to the camera and
supplies regulated 24 V with a current of 2.0 A max.
VF Viewfinder Connector (CoaXPress)
The ALEXA Mini LF uses an industrial CoaXPress interface to connect the MVF-2 viewfinder with the
camera. The interface transmits power, video and control data and supports cable lengths of up to 10 m
(33 ft). The VF connector comes without a key, so the VF cables plug in regardless of their orientation
and support hot plugging of the viewfinder.
WiFi Antenna Connector (RP-SMA)
Besides the built-in WiFi antenna behind the camera label on the right side, the ALEXA MINI LF is
equipped with a second WiFi antenna connector above the media bay on the camera left side. Both
internal and external WiFi antenna work together, and if needed, the external antenna output can be
disabled in the camera menu.
Note: Do not leave the antenna connector open during operation or transport. The radio module
inside could be damaged by electrostatic discharge on the open connector. Use the originally supplied
antenna only.
Camera Buttons
Besides the REC and LOCK button, the camera is equipped with six freely assignable user buttons plus
a FN function button for quick access to frequently used functions. All buttons (except for the LOCK
button) have an adjustable background illumination. For further information please see "User Buttons",
page 107 and "Function Button FN", page 46.
