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.
