ARRI WCU 4
Three Axes - All Inclusive
The Wireless Compact Unit WCU-4 combines three axis of
lens control with a lens data display in a compact and ergonomic housing. Weighing
around 780 grams including battery, it’s one of the lightest hand units in its class,
providing unrivaled comfort during a long working day.
Vibrating Markers and Alerts
Tactile vibrating feedback lets you keep your eye on the
action in the most challenging situations. Operators can concentrate on the scene,
knowing that the hand unit will vibrate to prompt them when markers are reached or
when a camera alert occurs, such as for a nearly full recording media or low battery
voltage.
Backlit Focus Knob
The new, super-smooth focus knob contains an integrated light
source that shines through the wide, optionally pre-marked focus ring in low light
conditions, thus providing clearly readable focus marks at all times. The friction of the
focus knob can be easily adjusted to one’s personal preference without any tools.
Easy-to-Read Lens Data Display Clearly arranged, easy-to-read lens and camera
information is available on the large 3” display, along with data from optional ultrasonic
distance measurement devices. The transflective display technology ensures perfect
readability in all ambient lighting conditions. This feature will be available with ALEXA
SUP 8.0 onwards.
Pre-Marked Focus Rings Lens settings can be mapped to a set of high quality premarked focus rings in metric or imperial scale. This feature will be available with ALEXA
SUP 8.0 onwards.
Personalized Settings
Various parameters of the WCU-4 can be set up to one’s
personal preference. These include the display arrangement, vibration patterns and
programmable user button, to name just a few. You can save your preferred settings on
an SD card, enabling you to immediately personalize any WCU-4, anywhere in the
world.
Exceptional Quality and Service
The WCU-4 is completely splash-proof and
embodies the reliability and durability for which ARRI is famous. Wear and tear parts are
replaceable at rental level, and the worldwide ARRI Service network ensures rapid
second level support if needed. New firmware versions can be installed to the unit via
SD card within seconds.
Optional ALEXA Camera Control
An optional software license will enable you to
remote control all ALEXA Plus type cameras, except the ALEXA HD Plus. This includes
setting frame rate, shutter angle, exposure index, false color on the monitor output, and
more. Extended camera status information is also available, allowing you to quickly
check your camera settings at any time.
