Hi,
I’ve been trying to find accurate information regarding sensor readout times in ms for each of Arri’s sensors (and ideally at different frame rates and resolutions). Is that information officially available from ARRI?
Thank you,
Martim

Dear Martin,

the silence in the forest... :)
We decided not to publish the readout times since this is not a crucial factor in deciding for a camera.
Generally speaking the read-out time differs from sensor mode to sensor mode. Framerates change the exposure time, not the read-out time.

Cheers,

Hi Jan,
I just realized I finally had a reply here!
I’m looking for read-out times for shooting with LED strobing lights at high frame rates.
What I’m trying to do requires an accurate understanding of the read-out time so the LEDs can by sync. It’s not for exposure.
How can I get those values?
Best,
Martim

Dear Martim,

this thred is "dry aged" from two years ago ;)
You are aiming to sync those LEDs with the camera, why not go with the LED-Wall approach of syncing both to the same source like a trilevel sync signal?
