ALEXA Electronic Viewfinder (EVF-1)
  • State-of-the-art F-LCOS array with auto-calibrating LED illumination
  • Sharp, clear 1280 x 720 display
  • Very low latency
  • Over-scanned image area

While an optical viewfinder still provides the best operating experience, it comes at a price and added weight. For ALEXA we have developed the high resolution ARRI Electronic Viewfinder (EVF-1). This viewfinder was specifically designed to meet the needs of camera operators by offering an extremely fast image display, high image quality, accurate color reproduction and a number of features inherited from our optical viewfinders, including overscan.

  • Fast Image Display

It’s critical for the operator that the action in the viewfinder can be seen almost simultaneously as the action in front of the camera. The extremely fast image display of the EVF-1 was only possible through the creation of a proprietary high speed connection between the viewfinder and the camera as well as a shared image processing architecture.

  • High Image Quality

Important for excellent image quality in the viewfinder are high resolution, high contrast, low distortion and an evenly illuminated viewing area. Accurate and reliable color reproduction at all temperatures is assured through an auto-calibrating, temperature controlled ARRI LED light engine.

  • Ergonomic Design

The small, self-contained unit is easily mounted in different positions: on the side for handheld, or further back for use with a geared head. The viewfinder’s settings as well as basic camera settings can be changed by the operator directly in the EVF-1.

  • Optical Viewfinder Features

ALEXA and the EVF-1 provide features that have been available only through optical viewfinders up until now. The cameras’ sensor is slightly oversized to provide an extra area around the primary image in the viewfinder. Additionally, the size of the image in the EVF-1 equals to that of an image in an ARRIFLEX 235’s optical viewfinder.
