Dragon Update

sorry its a long one :)
 
Arri kitchen is trying to cook inside the 4K cine digital revolution:

The successor to the Alexa, which is in Arri's labs, will feature at least 4K resolution,
at least 14-stops of dynamic range and high frame rate capability, according to Kraus.
“We are working on technology that will offer a higher spatial resolution,
but also pushing hard in terms of a higher temporal resolution, without sacrificing the dynamic range we can already deliver,” he said.
“We don't want to produce one camera that has high contrast and another with high detail.”

Kraus declined to give a release date on its new camera, but revealed that Arri's original roadmap for the Alexa contained an upgrade to 4K
but that this was sidelined in favor of concentration on dynamic range.

“The Alexa camera family concept had initially included a 4K-plus sensor version to be launched approximately one year after the introduction of the first Alexa.
But the outcome of an intensive feasibility study, more than two years ago, showed that we would sacrifice dynamic range for resolution, so we decided not to proceed.”
He added: “There are products and companies leaning more toward spatial resolution. This offering was available already, so we chose to go for greater dynamic range
rather than detail at that time. We believe that the most distinctive image characteristic is contrast, and after that it is really a question of whether we need to increase
temporal resolution if we aim for higher spatial resolution than 2K.”

The ground is shaking, let's hope the world is ready for thy mighty Dragon mr. Land :)
 
Will be worth the wait. I should probably close this thread to make way for the new.
