1. The ARRIFLEX 16SR 3 - System-Camera

The ARRIFLEX 16SR 3 is a 16mm/Super 16 camera designed to handle all modern production demands. It utilizes the full range of ARRIFLEX 535 mechanical, optical and electronic accessories.

•The format change from Normal 16 to Super 16 can be carried out with very few adjustments. An addi- tional film gate is not necessary.

•Due to the 54mm PL lens mount, all commonly avail- able lenses can be used. Lenses with a 41mm ARRI- bayonet-mount can be used with the single push- button release PL-mount-to-bayonet-mount adapter.

•The 16SR 3 time code capability offers access to all modern electronic post-production processes. The TC- generator has been integrated into the camera electronics and the time code recording unit is located in each magazine.

•With ARRIGLOW, the ARRIFLEX 16SR 3’s new illuminated frame viewfinder with continuously adjust- able brightness, all format markings are clearly visible even in low light situations.

•The mechanically adjustable mirror shutter allows short exposure times and enables the use of HMI lights, even with older inductive ballasts.

•Coaxial magazines with and without TC-recording unit (time code) are available.16 SR II-magazines can still be used (without TC-recording) on the ARRIFLEX 16SR 3.

•The HS version (high speed) of the camera is de- signed for speeds of up to 150 fps.

•The camera electronics incorporate a large, backlit, programmable LCD-Display advising the user of the
