  |  ARRIFLEX D-21

A number of powerful FPGAs (Field Programmable 
Gate Arrays) constitute the imaging hardware engine 
inside the D-21. They are a crucial component of ARRI 
Imaging Technology.

The CMOS sensor inside the D-21 
was designed and developed for 
use in ARRI high-end motion picture 
cameras.
