The ARRI ARRIMAX 18/12 HMI Kit with Ballast is the most powerful continuous daylight-balanced lighting package available for large-scale cinema, broadcast, and commercial productions. This system utilizes ARRI’s Academy Award-winning, lens-less optical design to deliver unparalleled brightness and razor-sharp shadow performance.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
- High-Speed Shooting: Offers standard flicker-free modes as well as AutoScan functionality, supporting frequencies over 1,000 Hz for flawless slow-motion recording at up to 3,000 fps
- Power Parameters: Requires a robust 190–250 VAC single-phase power supply (typically drawing from an on-set generator tow-plant).
- Active Line Filter (ALF): Minimizes power distribution losses and maintains color rendering consistency, even when dimming the output down to 50%.
