At the heart of the ARRI ALEXA camera system is ARRIs own 3.5K Super 35mm format ALEV-III CMOS Bayer sensor. Through extended research and experimentation with sensor and pixel technologies ARRI made some great discoveries and applied these to the production of the ALEXA. Optimum image quality is achieved through a fine balance between detail, colour reproduction and sensitivity. While some competitors strive to improve camera statistics on paper by jamming more and more pixels into a 35mm frame, ARRI used a proof is in the pudding approach with the ALEXA digital camera maintaining that optimum image quality is attained through slightly fewer, yet larger, pixels filling the available space on a 35mm sensor.
