ARRI has announced new software updates that significantly enhance the functionality and ease of integration of the ARRI Multicam System. The many new features enabled by ALEXA 35 SUP 6.0 and LPS-1 SUP 1.3 will be used at the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest in May, which ARRI is servicing with multiple ALEXA 35 Live camera systems in partnership with Riedel Communications.

• New features will be used at the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest
• Multi-matrix color correction and enhanced live user settings
• Real-time fine adjustment of EI/gain, including during zooms

ALEXA 35 Live cameras are now equipped with multi-matrix color correction, which goes beyond basic color correction by permitting users to adjust individual color hues without affecting other colors in the scene. In a live, multi-camera environment this allows more precise color matching between different camera channels, with color correction targeted to the meet the specific needs of a production or location, or to overcome challenging light conditions. Continuous fine adjustment of exposure index / gain. Fine adjustment of the ALEXA 35 Live’s exposure index (EI) setting is now possible from a Remote Control Panel (RCP). The ALEXA 35 Live is also now able to continuously adjust the EI/gain in relation to light loss across the zoom range of compatible ENG and box zoom lenses, maintaining stable exposure and depth of field in every frame.

Three pre-installed user setups are now available in the ALEXA 35 Live for projects using 50p, 59.94p, or 60p frame rates. These setups automatically configure the camera with typical Multicam settings, saving users the trouble ofhaving to adjust each setting individually. This is particularly useful following a software update or factory reset of the camera. “Scene File” support enabled by ALEXA 35 SUP 6.0 now allows Multicam users to create and recall custom video parameter settings from the connected RCP.

The HDR white level setting defines the reference brightness used for processing HDR signals and is applied globally to all monitoring outputs configured for HDR output. It allows you to choose between 100 nits (traditional SDR reference) and 203 nits (commonly used in modern HDR workflows) to match your production pipeline, grading environment, or display requirements.
