What is the difference between an Alexa 4:3 PLUS camera with an XR Module upgrade and a factory Alexa XT camera?

With multiple versions & upgrades available for Arri ALEXA cameras, it can be difficult to know what features are available with each camera iteration. To begin, the ARRI Xtended Recording (XR) Module, which comes standard on all ALEXA XTs, can replace the ALEXA Classic camera’s existing SxS recording module, enabling the ability to record in ARRIRAW on camera just like the ALEXA XT. ALEXA Classics with the XR Module upgrade will maintain their native 16:9 aspect ratio, unless the camera is further upgraded to the taller 4:3 sensor, which is standard in all ALEXA XTs. This 4:3 Super 35 active sensor area is ideal for anamorphic shooting in 4:3 sensor mode which is why all ALEXA XT cameras & ALEXA 4:3 Plus upgraded cameras come equipped with a bundle license featuring anamorphic de-squeeze capabilities. Although the ALEXA XT & ALEXA 4:3 Plus have the same sensor, factory ALEXA XT model cameras are the only cameras that have been developed to include ARRIRAW Open Gate mode which utilizes the full camera sensor for ARRIRAW recording. To put it simply, all ALEXA cameras with the upgraded XR module are capable of recording on- camera ARRIRAW. ALEXA 4:3 Plus cameras are capable of 4:3 sensor mode. However, only factory ALEXA XT cameras able to shoot in full Open Gate mode. Some sellers will list an Alexa 4:3 XR-upgraded Alexa as an XT camera, and while an XR-upgraded Alexa 4:3 camera does have many of the capabilities of a factory XT camera, only a factory Alexa XT camera has Open Gate shooting capability.

What makes an ALEXA XT, an ALEXA XT Plus?

An upgraded version of the original ALEXA XT, the XT Plus has a special side cover with extended electronics for additional camera functions. Features include a built in radio system for wireless remote control of lens & camera, Lens Data System (LDS) for reading lens data from LDS lenses, & Lens Data Archive for achieving LDS functionality with non-LDS lenses.  Along with three Controlled Lens Motor (CLM) ports for driving CLMs & two Lens Control System (LCS) ports for connecting various LCS hand units, the XT Plus has a third RS socket & fourth MON OUT output. The XT Plus also includes a level sensor for determining camera roll/tilt in degrees & an additional button labeled WRS (Wireless Remote System) for adjusting all settings related the Plus module.
