Great overview.

The level Camera is an amazing feature.

Arriraw is 2560x1620. You can record it with an OB-1 or Codex. The workflow isn't that difficult, especially with the Virtfual File System that Codex uses. You hook up the external recorder via Dual HD-SDI (from both REC OUT's). This gives you the highest/raster quality signal.

@erakon1 You can record Arriraw to a certified 3rd party recorder. From the FAQ: "ARRIRAW is the highest quality recording format when shooting with ALEXA, storing the full 2880 x 1620 pixels of raw, unprocessed 12 bit log Bayer data delivered by the sensor."

@taybo20 , its actually a 1080p camera. The sensor is nice, but you can't get a 3.5k file out of the camera. Impossible.

is there any battery recommended by arri for arri alexa plus camera?

Hi there, Can you tell me what happens if I record in 16:9 and final out in 2.4:1, will i loose some photosites or it will just down sampled from 2880*1620, or it will use less photosites ?

hi were can i find the exaclty arri alexa plus user manual pdf please?

@taybo20, Dude send me a link from the Arri site that says that the Alexa gives you a 3.5 k file. Look I am not a "K" geek. Pixels don't matter that much too me, but the Alexa does not deliver a 3.5k file. It has a 3.5k sensor that down samples to 2k, aka 1080p. There are benefits to this, but it does not deliver a 3.5k file. You ever shoot with one? And by the way the Red MX shoots at 5k. Not that pixels matter all that much, just sayin.
