Product Overview
AJA's LUT-box ensures that your monitor is showing the correct color space and look for any source signal. Working with material outside the normal REC709 video color space (such as LOG material) can cause confusion both on set and in the edit suite with colors that are not properly represented for client review and approval. LUT-box ensures that every monitor is showing the correct color “look” for any source signal while still allowing the footage to maintain its original color look and take advantage of additional dynamic range.
Now you can load 3D LUTS at up to 17x17x17 or 16x16x16 sizes using the USB connection and free Mini-Config software on either Mac or Windows. You can also additionally upload a 1D LUT for standalone needs or combine 3D and 1D LUTs for simultaneous viewing needs . Simultaneous outputs allow you to utilize both HDMI and SDI monitors from a single LUT-box. Embedded audio is passed through to the outputs and the LUT-box provides 2-Channel RCA style audio outputs for separate audio monitoring if needed.
Once configured, the settings are non-volatile. The unit can be disconnected from USB, powered down, moved to a new location, and placed into operation there, retaining that configuration.
Features
- 1D and 3D LUTs: LUT-box supports 10-bit and 12-bit 1D LUTs, and 3D LUTs at 17x17x17 or 16x16x16 with 12-bit processing for accurate color representation. Multiple LUT formats are supported.
- Connectivity: LUT-box accepts 3G and Dual-Link input in a wide range of signal formats. Simultaneous SDI and HDMI outputs allow multiple monitors to view the corrected color signal, and in-line monitoring of an SDI feed.
- Audio Integration: Up to 8-channels of embedded SDI and HDMI audio output are supported. You can select which SDI embedded audio input channels are used (Ch 1-8 or Ch 9-16), and can choose to route all eight or just one pair of these channels to the HDMI output. Two channels of analog audio output allow direct external monitoring without the need to disembed the audio separately.
- USB and Mini-Config Support: AJA’s free Mini-Config software can be used with any USB-enabled AJA Mini-Converter and provides an easy-to-use graphical interface with detailed information about the current input and output formats. Control all the parameters of any supported AJA Mini-Converter as well as loading firmware updates from AJA that add new features and functionality.
- DIP Switch Control: DIP switches on the bottom of the unit allow local control of some features without a computer. One of the DIP switches is a “Local/Remote” switch. When in the “Local” mode, the remaining DIP switches support a subset of the user controls. When in the “Remote” mode, the normal Mini-Converter non-volatile registers control the unit (as last set).
- Universal Power Supply: All AJA Mini-Converters ship with a Universal Power Supply that includes international plug connections for use around the world.
- 5-year Warranty: All AJA Mini-Converters are covered by a 5-year warranty and AJA's advanced replacement policy. If a replacement is necessary, AJA will ship a new unit immediately without the need to send the original unit back first, ensuring you are up and running again as quickly as possible.
