Access To The New Avid DNxHD License

• With SUP 6.0, you can now purchase a license through the ARRI website, which allows in-camera recording to be switched to Avid DNxHD. Currently supported are DNxHD 145 (145Mbits/s, 8-bit 4:2:2) and DNxHD 220x (220Mbits/s, 10-bit 4:2:2). The new DNxHD 444 (440Mbits, 10-bit 4:4:4) will be released in a later SUP and will be a free upgrade for anyone who buys a DNxHD license.

To download SUP 6.0, ALEXA owners must log in after completing a one-time registration on the ARRI website. The file can then be downloaded to an SD card for uploading into the camera. Also available for download are an updated user manual, release notes for SUP v6.0, and a data sheet on the new DNxHD License.
