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.
