Chapter 1 – Introduction

Overview
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.
Load two custom 1D LUTs and two custom 3D LUTs (four total) into LUT-box to
adjust the “look” for any source signal with simultaneous outputs to HDMI and
SDI monitors from a single LUT-box. Auto controls are available to configure
the unit automatically to match the input and output video parameters. Switch
between two LUTs, using Mini-Config or DIP switches, to quickly A/B compare
between the two. You can even apply a 1D LUT and a 3D LUT simultaneously,
feeding the output of the 1D LUT to the input of the 3D LUT for serial processing.
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. See "LUT File Format Support" on page 25
for a complete listing.

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.

LUT-box Mini-Converter v2.7 4 www.aja.com

 

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.

About LUT Data Write and Read

The LUT-box has four areas that can store LUT data: 1D LUT slots A and B, and 3D
LUT slots A and B. Externally accessed (via USB) LUT file data is written directly
into a LUT-box slot, where it acquires a proprietary internal data structure. The
file name of the source of the LUT data written into the slot is displayed on the
Mini-Config LUT screen. Data residing in one of the LUT-box slots can be read

LUT-box Mini-Converter v2.7 5 www.aja.com

 

from that slot, and then be sent to an external location via USB. When sending
the data, you can select a LUT file format (.txt, .3dl, .lut, .cube) for the data, and
produce a file at that destination location that can be used with other LUT-boxes
and color management applications. This also makes it possible to convert LUT
files from one format to another. However, due to internal math rounding errors,
converted LUTs may not perfectly match each other, though any differences will
be extremely small.

Installation
Typically, LUT-box installation consists of the following steps:
1. Ensure the LUT-box is disconnected from power.
2. Connect equipment to the SDI input connector(s), and to the SDI out and/or
HDMI out connectors.
3. Connect audio equipment to RCA output connectors (optional).
4. Apply power to the converter (AJA power supply included).
5. The converter will now run using the default factory settings. This default
configuration applies no conversion, passing the incoming video to the
outputs, and routes the first two channels of embedded audio (if present) to
the RCA jacks.
6. To use the LUT box you need to load one or two custom LUTs, using Mini-
Config:
• Install the AJA Mini-Config software on your computer.
• Attach the converter via USB.
• Make your changes using Mini-Config setup screens.
See "USB Control and Setup—Using AJA Mini-Config" on page 7 for details.
7. When configured with the correct LUT, the LUT-box can be powered down,
moved to the target display, and when powered back up retains those
configuration settings.

Sample LUT Files

Sample LUT files are included with the Mini-Config application and are installed
onto your computer along with the Mini-Config application. These files are
accessed differently, depending on the whether you are using a Mac or PC.

Mac Sample LUT File Access

On a Mac, sample LUT files are included in the application package that is
installed on the computer. You need to open this package to access the sample
LUT files. They cannot be accessed directly from the Mac Mini-Config browser.
1. Using the Mac finder, access the installed location of the Mini-Config
application. By default it is installed in the Applications folder.

LUT-box Mini-Converter v2.7 14 www.aja.com

 

2. Right click on the Mini-Config application name and select Show Package
Contents.
3. Navigate to the LUT files, located at Contents/Resources/types/lut_box. Two
folders are used, one for 1D-LUTs and the other for 3D-LUTS.
4. Copy the files to another location accessible to your computer and to the
LUT-box Mini-Converter.
5. You will now be able to use Mini-Config to access and write the sample LUT
files into your LUT-box.

PC Sample LUT File Access

On a PC, sample LUT files are installed by default into the Program Files/AJA/
MiniConfig/types/lut_box folder. Two directories are used, one for 1D-LUTs and
the other for 3D-LUTS. These locations are accessible directly from the Mini-
Config browser. The sample LUT files can also be copied to another location
accessible by that computer, if desired.

Input Screen

Use the Input screen to view and make changes to the converter’s input settings.

Video Source
Selects the input video connectors to use. Choose from the following:
• SDI 1 (Single Link (SL) video, using only the SDI 1 input BNC) (default)
• SDI 1 +2 (Dual Link (DL) video, using both BNCs 1 and 2)

LUT-box Mini-Converter v2.7 15 www.aja.com

 

Color Space
Selects the Input Video Color Space. Choose from the following:
• Auto - automatically selects color mode based on the input video parameters
and payload ID (default).
• 422 YCbCr (SL)
• 444 RGB (DL)
• 444 YCbCr (DL).

RGB Range
Selects the Input Video Color Range. Choose SMPTE (default) or Full color range.
Only applicable if SDI input is 444 RGB format.

Bit Depth
Selects the input video bit depth. Choose from Auto, 8-bit, 10-bit, or 12 bit.
Choosing “Auto” automatically selects the bit depth based on the input video
parameters and the payload ID.

Video Format
This control can be used to force the LUT-box's input video receiver to interpret
that incoming video signal as either Progressive, interlaced, or PsF (Progressive
Sequential Frame).
The default setting is Auto, in which the LUT-box examines the incoming video
signal to determine which format is appropriate.
Choose from Auto, Progressive, Interlaced, or PsF.
• Auto - Automatically selects the format based on the input video parameters
and the payload ID.
• Progressive - Forces the LUT-box to interpret the incoming video as
Progressive.
• Interlaced - Forces the LUT-box to interpret the incoming video as Interlaced.
• PsF - Forces the LUT-box to interpret the incoming video as PsF.
Under normal circumstances you should always run in Auto mode. However,
because interlaced and PsF formats are essentially the same signal, the LUT-box
might confuse them. For example, if you know for sure that you receiving a PsF
signal, but the LUT-box is interpreting it as an Interlaced signal while running
in Auto mode, setting this control to PsF will force the receiver to interpret that
signal as PsF. However, if the LUT-box is receiving a Progressive signal and you
force it to interpret it as Interlaced, an invalid output video signal will be created.

device's capabilities. This control does not affect the SDI output, which always
embeds 8 audio channels.

Analog Audio Select

Choose which two incoming SDI audio channels from the selected group are
routed to the analog audio outputs. Choose from Ch 1-2 (9-10) through Ch 7-8
(15-16).

Audio Offset In Frames

Permits time shifting the audio outputs in relationship to the video (for example,
to correct for lip sync problems), in 1/16 of a frame increments. Delay range is up
to +7.0 video frames. The actual time duration of delay will vary depending on the
frame rate of the format being converted.

LUT-box Mini-Converter v2.7 19 www.aja.com

 

NOTE: Any video to audio delay caused by LUT processing is automatically corrected.
Zero offset sets the output video to audio relationship the same as the incoming
signals.

LUT Screen

Use the LUT screen to view and make changes to the LUT-box LUT settings. With
this screen you can enable and disable LUT processing and switch between the
different LUTs.

LUT In/Out Color Range

Controls color space range input and output for both 1D- and 3D-LUTs.
• SMPTE (default)
• Full
NOTE: The LUT In/Out Color Range must match the setting used when the LUT was
generated.

1D and 3D LUT Settings

The lower part of the screen has two areas, one for 1D LUTs, and the other for 3D
LUTs. The controls in these two areas perform identical functions for each type of
LUT.

Enable
Enables LUT processing. Choose from On or Off. Clicking on the control toggles
between the On and Off states, allowing you to watch the output on a display
device as you apply and remove LUT processing.

LUT-box Mini-Converter v2.7 20 www.aja.com

 

Slot
