Page 7 of 8
All data subject to change without further notice.
Sync
SDI out of sync
If two cameras are being synchronized by syncing one of them to timecode, the recorded images will be in sync, but
the SDI outputs will be slightly out of sync.
Warning message unavailable
A camera in setting Slave mode inherits all settings from the master camera. When attempting to change settings on a
camera in settings Slave mode not all items prompt the warning that these settings can only be changed on the
master camera, but instead are not modifiable.
Disabling EXT Sync leads to error message
When disabling EXT Sync the camera can display a software error (#4) and prompt the user to reboot. After rebooting
the camera will resume working as expected.
Timecode offset after exiting playback through recording
When exiting playback by pushing the REC button, it is possible for timecode to be offset by one frame. To avoid this,
exit playback by pushing the physical playback button on the viewfinder or through the 'close' button in the menu.
Usability
Cannot overwrite existing User Pixel Mask
Saving a User Pixel Mask on the USB stick is only possible when the sensor folder on the USB stick does not already
contain a User Pixel Mask. If you want to save a User Pixel Mask, make sure the folder is empty or re-name any
existing User Pixel Masks. Even then, sometimes a new User Pixel Mask cannot be saved, and the monitor gets stuck
with the message 'Exporting user pixel mask, please wait...'. Restarting fixes all of this.
Menu item selection highlight scrolls past bottom of menu
In some menus the menu item selection highlight can be scrolled past the bottom of the menu.
Audio icon deactivated in playback of clip with audio
When RECORDING settings do not allow to record audio, the audio icon is shown deactivated erroneously in playback
of a clip that contains audio.
Updating
ALEXA Mini SUP camera update might fail
In a few cases the camera update may fail with the message 'Last SUP installation was incomplete. Please re-install
SUP. (#135)'. In this case, please re-install SUP.
D. Known Issues
–
Mechanical Accessories
RAB-1 Clamp 2 may experience poor clamping performance
Some early RAB-1 Clamp 2 units (K2.0023406) ran into assembly issues leading to poor clamping performance or the
inability to release adequately. If a RAB-1 Clamp 2 is found to slip on the Rear Accessory Bracket RAB-1 (K2.0013937)
or not to release correctly, please contact ARRI Service to get the part repaired or exchanged.
Compact Bridge Plate CBP-1 and CBP-2 lever malfunction
To release the Compact Bridge Plate CBP-1 or CBP-2 from a balance plate, the safety catch on the main locking lever of
the CBP must be released for the main locking lever to be moved from the BALANCE to the RELEASE position. Some
early CBP-1 and CBP-2 units could have the main locking lever moved directly from the LOCK position to the RELEASE
position. In that case, please contact ARRI Service to get the part repaired or exchanged.
