ARRIRAW is a RAW digital cinematography format, used in ARRI cameras.

ARRIRAW retains the camera's natural color response and great exposure latitude as uncompressed and unprocessed sensor data. With the introduction of the ALEXA XT series, ARRIRAW data can be recorded directly in the camera, without the need for an external recorder.
