Alexa35 camera control with cPRO - will it work with a CAM-Lbus cable? I see they dropped the EXT port.

Hello all,


here a few answers to the most frequently asked questions:


Camera Control:

ARRI Alexa 35 will offer the existing camera control features of Alexa Mini / Mini LF through the LBUS interface instead of the EXT port.

[K2.0015760] Cable CAM (7p) - LBUS has to be used to enable camera control on ARRI Alexa 35 using cPRO.


cPRO motor / cPRO camin SW update will be needed, which is expected in Q4 2022.


SERIAL port on the ARRI Alexa 35:

Using an ARRI LCS, the SERIAL port on the ARRI Alexa 35 can be used to connect 3rd party rangefinders directly to the daisy chain without using an LCUBE-1.

However, the SERIAL port is not compatible with cPRO with the current camera release.


A timeline for an ARRI Alexa 35 software update, including that feature is not determined yet.

Anyways, cPRO users will achieve existing compatibility using the current workflow with a LCUBE-1.


RS Voltage:

the cPro motor and also the cforce mini RF motor can take 12V-34V.

With the currently released firmware version, the "over voltage" warning is activated at 32V.

The warning will be set to 34V in the next update.
