March 2007, The Video Lab in Johannesburg, South Africa, took delivery of the first ever ARRILASER Film Recorder in Africa. The recorder was installed by Brady Stone, Digital Service Engineer, ARRI (GB), and became the 207th ARRILASER worldwide. Tracey Williams from the Video Lab says:
“The Video Lab has been involved in film recording for many years. We started with a Solitaire Cine 111. In 1997 we installed a Kodak lightning 11 film recorder. This has served us well since then. In recent years there has been huge pressure to upgrade our machine. The ARRI seemed to be the only option. It keeps us up there internationally with all leading DI, film vfx and film recording houses. It is a huge advantage to our local market to be able to output the best possible product here locally in SA. SA has a relatively large cinema commercial market that will benefit hugely from the quality and fast turn around. Film-outs from the ARRI also reduce additional spend and time at the labs. We have waited for this for a long time, and are thrilled to have it installed at the Video Lab”

3 x 8 is Real Time Scanning
|
|
|
At NAB 2007, ARRI showcased the Digital Dailies Base Package, which scans at 8 frames per second in 2K resolution single exposure, and 5 frames per second in 2K resolution double exposure. The package also includes:
- Image Preview while winding -> `fast view’
- Frameline Detection
- Flash Detection
- New Customized Optics
- New LEDs (higher intensity)
The ARRISCAN's are controlled by a single job database (central job management) and all the 3 ARRISCANs are scanning 35mm reels by keycode.
The speed of nearly eight frames per second is achieved for HD (1920 pixels per line) or 2k (2048 pixels per line) resolution. The ARRISCAN becomes a very attractive alternative to a HD/2K telecine in a datacentric workflow. A bundle of three scanners will cost less than current real-time scanners while offering significant advantages.
- Pin-registered scanning
- Perfect colour reproducibility due to closed loop LED illumination
- Double Redundancy
The application ranges from creating digital rushes in HD to ultra-fast scanning for DI productions. "Creating rushes with the same film scanner that is used for the high-resolution scans creates a wealth of options for the post-production”, explains the Head of Application Engineering at ARRI, Harald Brendel. “Having rushes that match the hi-res scans in colour and geometry provides the possibility to use them not only for editing but for visual effect lay-outs and early colour grading as well."
Clients will have the choice to use the ARRISCAN in the way they want to:
- High End Digital Intermediate work
- 6K, 4K, 2K resolution
- Double flash mode for full dynamic range
- Kodak Digital ICE technology for dust & scratch removal
- 4 fps in 3K, 2K (oversampled) resolution
- 1 fps in 6K, 4K (oversampled) resolution
- Digital Dailies work or Digital Intermediate work
- HD or 2K resolution
- Single flash mode
- 8 fps in 2K, HD (oversampled)

With over 200 Worldwide, and AL-001 still in operation, the ARRILASER Film Recorder is the industry standard for high quality film recording. Since its introduction seven years ago, the ARRILASER maintains strong sales in new and existing markets.
The recent installation of AL-207 at The Video Lab in Johannesburg, South Africa, not only marks the arrival of the first ARRILASER in Africa, but the continued growth of the ARRILASER.
At NAB 2007, ARRI launched the new entry level ARRILASER -> the ARRILASER HDI.
- Full 2K DI Process Capable.
- Recording Speed of 3.2 sec/frame.
- Derived from ARRILASER HD, but without Limitation of Camera Negative.
- Upgradeable to Any Existing and Upcoming ARRILASER Models.
- Same Full Dynamic Range of 2.04 Densities Above Base on Intermediate Material.
- Entry Level Price of 190,000 €.
ARRI CMS has a new name, the ARRICUBE. A new feature within the ARRILASER software is the support of 3D LUTs with the ARRICUBE (linear workflow) plug-in.
- Improved Functionality.
- Improved Accuracy in its Results.
- Offered for Two Different Workflows -> ARRICUBE for Video Look, and ARRICUBE Preview LUTs.
- ARRICUBE for Video Look is available as an option for all ARRILASER models.
- A generic ARRICUBE Preview LUT can be downloaded from www.arri.de.
ARRICUBE provides an additional customization process enabling client generated 3D LUTs, which can be used in the linear, as well as the logarithmic workflow.
The ARRILASER is the only cine film recorder to use three solid state lasers as a light source, setting the standard in productivity and reliability, while significantly reducing the cost of recording digital images onto film.
