It is not possible to downgrade AMIRA cameras to previous SUP versions from this version, if the image sensor of the camera is calibrated at a temperature of 35°C. This may be the case for cameras built by ARRI manufacturing or for cameras that were calibrated in ARRI Service after the release of this software.
The product is solely and exclusively available for commercial customers and shall be used by skilled personnel only. Every user should be trained according to ARRI guidelines. Use the product only for the purpose described in this document. Always follow the valid instructions and system requirements for all equipment involved.
Several bug fixes have been included. • Support for modified sensor temperature calibration has been included. ARRI manufacturing and ARRI Service can calibrate sensor at a temperature of 35°C instead of 40°C using SUP 6.1.2. Installing SUP 6.1.2 does not change any calibration parameters of your camera.

For any inquiries please contact your local ARRI service center. • No Return-In in MPEG-2 mode with psf or interlaced signals The Return-In input is not supported when the camera is in MPEG-2 mode and the return signals are psf or interlaced.

For a stable genlock sync, the return input signal must be a clean signal without distortions. • RCP values may not be consistent The parameter values on the RCP are not mirrored in the positive and the negative range, eg. max values: -87/+89. AMIRA SUP 6.1.2 Page 11 of 12 Release Notes...
▪ Connect the USB stick to your computer and place the downloaded *.SUP file in the folder ARRI/AMIRA/SUP on the USB stick. Then place the downloaded *.lic file in the folder ARRI/AMIRA/LICENSES on the USB stick. ▪ SUPs contain not only updates for the camera body. Therefore, the MVF-1 viewfinder, CCP-1 and the lens mount should be attached to the camera when performing an update.
