Arriflex Sr-3 - CEI Color Six Operator's Manual

Note—Initial factory installation will most likely
be required to minimize vignetting of the video.
Due to limitations of the SR's viewing system, which was
not designed to include Super 16, some vignetting may
persist and will worsen when the video optics iris is closed
down.

Arriflex SR-3

Use of the Color Six with the Arriflex SR-3 requires a light
splitter and video optics, available from Arriflex. The
recommended splitter is the Arri Color 50/50 splitter. The
black-and-white 80/20 splitter will also work, but video
performance may be degraded.
The Arri optics system terminates in a C-mount thread that
screws directly into the Color Six . See "CEI Retrofit of Arri
SR-3 Elbow" (page 40) for improvements to the Arri system.
Note: A 5mm spacer (blue ring), provided by
CEI, must be installed in the Color Six before
attaching the Arri optics.
Attach the Color Six to the Arri SR-3 as follows:
1. Tighten the big black ring on the Arri optics elbow.
2. With the 5mm spacer in place, screw the elbow firmly into
the Color Six .
3. Loosen the big black ring and rotate the elbow relative to the
Color Six .
4. Loosen the 3/32 hex screws in the headpiece dovetail
adjustment on the Color Six .
