ARRICAM System Guide 13
Magazines
All four ARRICAM magazines can be used on the ARRICAM Studio
and on the ARRICAM Lite camera. All four magazines have a built-in
thermostatically controlled heater.
On each ARRICAM magazine the amount of footage loaded can be set
on the magazine footage counter, either in meters or in feet. Also the
ASA value of the film stock in use can be set. Setting the ASA value is
essential only when working with the In-camera Slate System, since it
determines the intensity of the In-camera Slate data exposure.
To mount the Studio magazines on the Studio camera, either the Top
Load Adapter, the Back Load Adapter or the Dual Port Adapter is nec-
essary. To mount the Studio magazines on the Lite camera, the Studio
Mag to Lite Camera Adapter is necessary. Lite magazines can be
mounted on the Lite camera without any adapters. To mount Lite mag-
azines on the Studio camera the Lite Mag to Studio Camera Adapter is
used. Studio magazine run forward and reverse. Due to their compact
design Lite magazines run only forward.
To ensure that the Lite camera is as small and lightweight as possible,
it’s magazine attachment mechanism differs from the Studio camera’s
mechanism. Whereas the Studio has a mechanism reminiscent of the
435, the Lite uses a mechanism similar that of the 535B.
