C. New Features and Changes in ALEXA Mini LF SUP 6.0.22
Recording Media
Compact Drive LED
After a recording has been stopped, the Compact Drive status indicator LED will remain solid red until the Compact
Drive is ready to be removed. At that point the LED will turn solid green, indicating that the Compact Drive can be
safely removed.
With SUPs before SUP 6.0.22, some instances have been reported where the Compact Drive status indicator LED has
shown that it is safe to remove the drive before this was actually the case, causing a number of error conditions once
the drive was re-inserted into a camera, including error messages #97, #100, #175 or #200. Please note that none of
these errors lead to data loss; even if the recording stopped unexpectedly, the take recorded up to this point is safely
stored on the drive.
Please also note that from Mini LF SUP 6.0.22 on, the "10 Second Rule" (see ARRI Technical Information
LF - The 10 Second Rule for Removing Drives"
) can be ignored, as the Compact Drive status indicator LED now
accurately shows when it is safe to remove the drive.
System Stability Improvements
A number of changes have been made to the internal communications that greatly improve system stability and
should significantly reduce the occurrence of error messages #4, #5, #14, #93, #138 or #200. If you still encounter any
of these errors with a camera running Mini LF SUP 6.0.22, you most likely have a hardware issue. In that case, please
, as we have seen some limited cases where these errors were based on hardware. ARRI Service
will be able to diagnose and repair these.
