ADVICE

Frequent reloading of the Web Remote camera interface connected with WiFi indicates a limited

WiFi range. Please place the device closer to the camera or connect via Ethernet. You may also

consider to use the WiFi client mode which allows connecting the camera to a WiFi network.
After a camera update, the Web Remote feature may not be fully functional until the browser cache

of your web browser has been cleared. Always use a 'private' or 'incognito' browser window when

using the Web Remote to operate the camera and to perform a SUP update. This prevents possible

erroneous behavior.

23.2 Camera Access Protocol (CAP)

The Camera Access Protocol (CAP) is an IP based API used to control and monitor ARRI cameras

via a network connection. The protocol incorporates functions to perform color grading, query and set

values like exposure index or sensor frame rate, start and stop recording and many more. Information

on the Camera Access Protocol is available through the ARRI Partner Program free of charge. For

more details please see our

ARRI Partner Program

and the Camera Access Protocol Feature List in the

White Papers

section on the ARRI website.
