[15:37 Sun,12.June 2022 by Thomas Richter]

ARRI has released the new SUP 7.1.1 firmware for its ALEXA Mini LF camera, which brings support for the new Codex Compact Drive 2TB and the latest version (Rev C) of the Compact Drive 1TB, among others.

Designed as a recording medium for use in the ALEXA Mini LF and ALEXA 35 cameras, the Codex Compact Drive offers write speeds of up to 16 Gbps (~2000 MB/s) - fast enough not to limit the recording formats of the ALEXA Mini LF and ALEXA 35.

- Support for Compact Drive 1TB (Rev C): ALEXA Mini LF SUP 7.1.1 supports the new Compact Drive 1TB (Rev C). This drive has the same performance as previous revisions, but does not require a firmware update to be used with the ALEXA 35.

Updating

ALEXA Mini LF SUP 7.1.1 can be installed on all ALEXA Mini LF cameras already shipped. ARRI recommends updating from SUP 7.1 to SUP 7.1.1, so if the camera is not already using Mini LF SUP 7.1, update to version 7.1 before updating to 7.1.1. However, ARRI advises against updating a new SUP in the middle of a production. The release notes should also be read before updating. It is possible to downgrade from the new ALEXA Mini LF SUP 7.1.1 version to previous SUP versions.
