- Page 8 An optical viewfinder is the preferred choice of both cinematographers and camera operators. The clear, full color image enables accurate assessment of focus and facilitates precise and comfortable operating for complex camera moves through a complete lack of any delay. Most crucial of all is the fact that an optical viewfinder shows an image larger than that being recorded and therefore allows the operator to see not just what is in frame, but also what is just outside the frame.
- Page 9 The Optical Viewfinder While most digital cameras use electronic viewfinders, the D-21 and D-21 HD are equipped with the same optical viewfinder as all other ARRI cameras. Thus the cameras’ viewfinder always shows an image area larger than the image being recorded, and it can be used even when they are not powered up.
- Page 10 CinemaScope look of anamorphic lenses. Further enhancing the film-like quality of the images is the rotating mirror shutter, which functions exactly as it does on 35 mm ARRI film cameras. This method of progressive image capture results in the most film-like motion portrayal possible.

- Page 12 Mscope – A New and Unique Output Format A new and unique feature of both D-21 and D-21 HD is the patented Mscope process, which combines for the first time the use of anamorphic lenses with the economy of HD acquisition. Filmmakers and audiences alike have grown up with the uniquely cinematic ana- morphic look and associate it with the emotional impact of big-screen movies.

One of the obstacles that has held back the use of raw data in the past has been the problem of how to get data easily from the camera to a recorder. ARRI engineers have found a way to utilize a standard dual link HD-SDI connection to transport the raw D-21 Bayer data. - Page 16 A True ARRI Camera The D-21 and the D-21 HD are true ARRI cameras; they run silently and have the same robust construction and ergonomic design for which ARRI cameras are famous. Their controls are also simple and straightforward for fast and safe operation.
