ARRI Reference Tool (ART)

The tool for ARRIRAW processing

ARRI Reference Tool, or ART for short, combines the functionality of the previous ARRIRAW Converter, Color Tool, and Meta Extract into a single package. You can review clips, check and extract metadata, create, extract look files, and transcode footage to a different format.

The ARRI Reference Tool allows you to render ALEXA 35/ALEXA 265 footage using our new ARRI Debayer Algorithm ADA-7 and REVEAL Color Science. It is also backwards compatible with all ALEXA and AMIRA cameras, which can be de-bayered to LogC4 and travel through REVEAL as well.

Additionally, ART supports QuickTime/ProRes or MXF/ProRes, as well as the CODEX HDE (High Density Encoding) file format. To keep your footage organized, you can create projects with bins and sequences.

Features of ART 1.7.0

The following features are included in ART 1.7.0 release:

  • Support for lens metadata of the Ensō Prime lenses and Ensō Vintage Elements.
  • Support of ALEXA 265 MXF/ARRIRAW with its metadata-encoded manual filter sliders.
  • Support of ALEXA 35 monochrome ARRIRAW material.
  • Support of HDE compression in an ARRI Legacy MXF wrapper for ALEXA MINI LF / ALEXA MINI / AMIRA cameras
