Camera Overview — ARRI SXT

The ARRI Alexa SXT is a professional digital cinema camera built around a Super 35 sensor capable of capturing up to 3.4K resolution. Designed for high-end film and television production, it pairs that resolving power with a native ISO range of 160 to 3200, giving cinematographers meaningful latitude in both controlled and low-light environments. Video is recorded at 12-bit color depth using Log C color profile, preserving a wide dynamic range for color grading in post-production.

Recording format options include ARRIRAW and ProRes, with storage supported across SxS, CFast, and Codex media. Frame rate options span 24fps, 30fps, 60fps, and up to 120fps at maximum resolution, offering flexibility for standard cinematic capture through high-speed work. The camera uses a PL Mount, which is the industry-standard lens mount for cinema glass.

Its body is constructed from magnesium alloy and measures 345 x 190 x 140 mm with a weight of 7.8 kg, reflecting its production-grade build quality. Audio connections are handled via XLR inputs, and power is supplied through a V-Mount battery system. A 7-inch, 1920x1080 LCD monitor and an electronic viewfinder with matching 1920x1080 resolution and 60Hz refresh rate round out the operational interface.

Focus is manual only.
