ARRI ALEXA Live brings cinematic production to ST 2110

Monday September 21, 2026 17:45

ARRI’s ALEXA Live system continues to look like a potential game changer for productions looking to bring a cinematic look to live broadcasts. Built around ARRI’s ALEXA camera technology, the system combines the image quality, dynamic range, and colour science associated with high-end film and television production with the operational requirements of a live multi-camera environment.

ALEXA Live is designed to integrate into established broadcast workflows, adding the connectivity and control required for live production while allowing operators to retain the creative advantages of ARRI’s large-format imaging. This makes it particularly interesting for premium sports, concerts, entertainment, and other productions where producers want to create a more cinematic visual identity without giving up the speed and practicality of a traditional live workflow.

The addition of SMPTE ST 2110 support takes that proposition a step further. Native integration with modern IP infrastructure allows ALEXA Live to sit more naturally within facilities moving away from conventional SDI-based architectures, while supporting the flexibility and scalability that networked production brings.

As the boundaries between traditional broadcast and cinematic production continue to blur, ALEXA Live is a good example of technologies from both worlds coming together. For broadcasters looking to differentiate premium live content, that combination of cinematic imaging and ST 2110 connectivity makes it a particularly interesting system to watch.
