Dockable system for the SR-R4 Portable Memory
Recorder
A dockable interface system for docking with the SR-R4 is
employed for versatility under shooting conditions and on-
site demands.
Compatible with film-camera accessories
The F65 is designed to be compatible with a variety of
film-camera accessories, giving users a broad array of
choices. These include ARRIFLEX-made bridge plates,
matte boxes, follow focus units, lens focus/zoom/iris servo
control units, and more. These film-camera accessories
can be attached to the F65 without modification, enabling
users who principally work with film to fully utilize their
existing assets.
The F65 is equipped with one 12 V DC and connector one
1)
24 V DC output connector to supply power to accessories
connected to the camera.
1) To supply accessories with 24 V DC power, the camera must have both
12 V DC and 24 V DC supplies, and the CAM POWER switch must be
turned ON.
Assignable buttons
The F65 is equipped with assignable buttons on the side of
the camera head.
The operator can assign frequently used functions, such as
magnifying the image in the viewfinder, to assignable
buttons to call these functions rapidly when working in the
field.
Operational versatility
Cine mode
This mode records video without processing, on the
presumption color grading is performed in post-
production, while applying basic color grading to the VF/
SDI outputs.
In Cine mode, the camera can be operated just like a
conventional film camera.
Custom mode
This mode allows you to adjust the black/white level and
the gain of the main signal when creating images on
location.
This mode also supports camera control by connecting a
remote control unit (RM).
Shutter control
The shutter speed is adjustable in terms of shutter angle.
You can also switch between a mechanical rotary shutter
and an electronic shutter.
Monitor output selection

output, and also select a look-up table (LUT) for the
desired tone of the monitor image. In addition, user-

defined LUTs created using CVP File Editor for F65 can
be imported.
Sensitivity adjustment function
In Cine mode, the F65 employs an EI sensitivity indicator
for shooting using a light meter, just as for film cameras, to
enable overexposure/underexposure processing in post-
production.
ASC CDL
American Society of Cinematographers Color Decision
List (ASC CDL) is a format for the exchange of basic color
grading information, recommended by ASC, that defines
functions for slope, offset, power, and saturation. The
camera uses these functions to support adjustment of VF/
SDI output gain, black level, tone, and saturation. The
adjustments made are not reflected in the master video
signal, but are saved as metadata in the SR-R4 recorder.
When recording, the video can be monitored on the VF/
SDI outputs by applying the values in metadata to the
recorded material.
