ARRI has announced the new ALEXA 35 Software Update Package SUP 4.0.0. This update is compatible with all ALEXA 35 cameras (ALEXA 35 and ALEXA 35 Live).

The update introduces support for the new ALEXA 35 with Base License, flexible licenses, and the new CODEX Compact Drive 1TB. It will come pre-installed on all new ALEXA 35 cameras from now on. Since there are no new camera features and only a few bug fixes in this update, only those who want to use the new Compact Drive Express 1TB (Apple ProRes only) need to update existing ALEXA 35 or ALEXA 35 Live cameras.
All ALEXA 35 cameras purchased before 2025 were delivered with a Cine License pre-installed. With the installation of SUP 4.0.0, this license will automatically be converted to a Premium License. This change is purely in name and does not affect functionality or user experience.
