Introduction The ARRI CCM-1 Camera Control Monitor Set delivers full camera control and menu access in a compact, high-brightness touchscreen display designed to function as a powerful alternative to an EVF. This 7″ onboard monitor uses a single EVF cable for imaging, control, and power, enabling clean, streamlined rigging for professional camera builds. Full Camera Control Compatibility The CCM-1 offers full camera control and novel viewing configurations for both the ALEXA 35 and ALEXA Mini LF digital cinema cameras. It can use the same viewfinder connector as the MVF-2 without taking up one of the camera’s SDI ports, providing an alternate means of imaging, control, and menu selection, or it can be used alongside the MVF-2. The CCM-1 uses SmallHD PageOS, which enables LUTs to be added to a Page or Pages with the monitor LUT tool. Note: Both the ALEXA 35 and Mini LF will require an upcoming firmware update to be fully functional with the CCM-1. Bright, Accurate Display The CCM-1 employs a 7″ IPS LCD screen to display a bright, high-contrast 1080 x 1200 HD image with ARRI-quality color accuracy and subtlety. Display tools like focus peaking and false color affect only the image, not the status overlays, for easy viewability. Sensor-level functions like zooming use the sensor resolution for improved focus checking and more. The CCM-1 uses SmallHD PageOS which enables LUTs to be added to a Page or Pages with the monitor LUT tool. Status and Home Screen Status changes can be viewed in real time as interactive settings overlaid on the live image. An updated home screen displays all relevant camera information.Each of the five main exposure parameters can be expanded for a live preview over your image. Camera Menu and Playback Controls Access all your camera settings via the touchscreen, side buttons, or rear joystick and buttons. Playback control has been improved with an extended clip list and both menu and user button control. Single-Hand Control Both the side buttons and the joystick and back buttons combination are positioned on the left side for easy, single-handed use. The side buttons include a dedicated Menu button and four user-assignable buttons. Flexible Connectivity When used with your camera’s VF connector, the CCM-1 leaves both SDI outputs free for other uses. The CCM-1 supports up to 33′ VF cables that are ideal for distanced use for car rigs, confined spaces, cranes, and dollies. Connect the CCM-1 via its SDI ports to enable ALF-1 and ALF-2 application, access the full SmallHD tool set, and use with third-party cameras. Versatile Interfaces The 3G-SDI input and loop outputs can be used for monitoring when using a Hi-5 or other wireless controller. A new 5-pin LEMO USB port can be used with the upcoming USB-to-Ethernet adapter to enable ALEXA Mini LF camera control while simultaneously using an MVF-2. The 3.5mm TRS audio jack provides the same headphone monitoring as the MVF-2.A user-replaceable steel block enables you to switch out the more frequently used ports in case of excessive wear. Brightness When used with a single power/image/control VF cable, the CCM-1 provides the REC 709 standard of 100 cd/m2 brightness, which is suitable for studio and interior use. Add a power cable with DC input or an onboard battery using a separate plate to boost the brightness to 1300 cd/m2 for outdoor viewing. Mounting Options Use the separately available VFA-4 adapter to attach the CCM-1 to standard ARRI viewfinder brackets. Mount the CCM-1 on the included MAC-1 arm for easy, single-handed repositioning with its friction lock.
