ARRI ALEXA 35 Live Multicam System Now Available Nationwide Through Premier Rental House Network

Unveiled in 2024, the ALEXA 35 Live Multicam System wasn’t just a product release — it was a declaration of intent, reinforcing ARRI’s firm commitment to Live Entertainment. Built around ARRI’s acclaimed ALEXA 35 with over 17 stops of dynamic range, the equivalent of 102db s/n, and designed with native fiber connectivity, the system reimagines live production workflows without sacrificing the signature ARRI image quality. From music festivals and comedy specials to sports, faith services, and live broadcasts, ALEXA 35 Live Multicam system delivers unprecedented cinematic depth to real-time production.

Now, through this rental network, clients across entertainment sectors can access complete multi-cam packages — supported locally and deployed nationally.

“The ALEXA 35 Live Multicam System is our answer to a growing demand for cinematic multi-cam in live entertainment,” said Glenn Kennel, Executive Vice President Sales, ARRI Americas, . “With AbelCine, CineMechanics, and dbV Rentals on board, we’re ensuring this technology is available wherever creativity happens — with world-class support to match.”

To serve growing demand, all three rental houses are actively engaging with 3rd-party engineering, broadcast, and production partners — ensuring scalability and responsiveness to any live event challenge. ARRI, in turn, continues to provide hands-on support, engineering guidance, and long-term strategic commitment to live production.

“This collaboration was driven by client demand,” said Gabriel Mays, Director of Rental at AbelCine. “We’ve long supported both narrative and multi-cam projects. As momentum grew around ALEXA 35 Live, we knew we needed trusted partners who shared our ethos. dbV and CineMechanics were natural allies.”

“In Nashville, live music is our bread and butter. Capturing and broadcasting these shows live is a natural extension of the music,” added Doug Bates, founder of dbV Rentals. “To bring ARRI’s full cinematic power to these shows — and scale it in a customizable way — is a major leap forward.

“This is about more than gear,” said Steve Speers, founder of CineMechanics. “It’s about trust, collaboration, and expanding access to world-class multi-cam tools right here in the Midwest. With the support of AbelCine and dbV Rentals, we’re thrilled to offer ALEXA 35 Live to our diverse client base — from corporate to concert.”

The ALEXA 35 Live Multicam System includes ARRI’s Fiber Camera Adapter, Fiber Base Station, and SKAARHOJ RCP Pro controller, combined with purpose-built tools for live broadcast, offering robust workflows and intuitive operation with plug and play compatibility into standard broadcast infrastructure. Whether used on a festival main stage, a high-end corporate show or sporting event, it’s a complete ecosystem designed for high-performance, multi-camera productions.

Real-world deployments speak for themselves: at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival and California’s Stagecoach Music Festival, dbV Rentals provided a full ALEXA 35 Live system that redefined the livestream’s visual impact. Similarly, Hulu’s comedy special Lonely Flowers showcased the system’s ability to blend live direction with cinematic texture.
