The ALEXA digital camera is widely used in professional film and television production equipment. It has been adopted in the production of films including Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Revenant, Gravity, Life of Pi, Skyfall, Game of Thrones, and Downton Abbey.

Franz Kraus, a board member of ARRI, stated, "We are deeply honored that the ALEXA camera system has been recognized by the Academy. The core technologies of the high-performance, high-quality ALEXA camera adopted by many cinematographers worldwide are the design, performance, and image quality of the ALEV III image sensor. ALEXA has achieved this technological innovation through a strong partnership with ON Semiconductor in the selection of key imaging components."

ARRI has received multiple awards for digital cameras and systems equipped with ON Semiconductor's image sensors. In 2009, ARRI received a Science and Technology award from the Academy for the design and development of the ARRISCAN film scanner. Additionally, in 2012, it received a Technical and Engineering Emmy Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for improvements in CMOS image sensor image quality. ON Semiconductor's cooperation has been instrumental in ARRI's imaging device design and manufacturing operations. ARRI continues to maintain a collaborative relationship with ON Semiconductor in this manner.
