Cinefade License Key for Hi-5

Arri Licenses » ECS Devices License Options » Cinefade License Key for Hi-5

UPDATE! The Hi-5 Cinefade license now works when using a cforce mini RF SUP 2.1. as a radio host.


The Cinefade License Key activates remote control of a Cinefade device via a Hi-5 hand unit.

  • Requires a RIA-1 or cforce mini RF to be used as the radio host
  • VariND and Rotapola functions are also supported when connected hardwired via LBUS to a Hi-5. No Cinefade Effect possible without a RIA-1 or cforce mini RF in the LBUS chain.

Important information: Integration in ALEXA 35 is planned and this Hi-5 license key will work using the ALEXA 35 as a radio host with a future Software Update Package.


This License supports the following features:

  • VariND control via Hi-5 force pad or user buttons
  • Rotapola control via Hi-5 force pad or user buttons
  • Cinefade Effect trigger on/off and control
  • Optical safe range on/off. Limits the range of usable ND filter from 0.4 to 1.9 (5 T-Stops)
* Price without tax (net value)
