Camera's Color Spaces

More than 70 types of camera's profile was measured and providing them as transform through CloudLUT function. It can be used for camera to camera conversion, camera independent color correction, which brings flexibility and accuracy of motion picture color making.

Monitor's Color Spaces

It supports RGB primary of Rec709, DCI, and Rec2020, SDR gamma and HDR gamma of HLG and PQ. Including HLG, they can be used forward and inverse transform, which means these color spaces can be used both input and output.

Grading Space

Color Correction should be performed unified color space, but because there is no perfect grading space, we have to select proper color space. It suppots ACES linear compatible ACESproxy, ACEScc, ACEScct and HSLA which has high quality bit resolution original color space, and camera log space like SLOG3/SGAMUT3 or LogC.

Mapping function

When you convert from Rec2020 to Rec709, or HDR to SDR, which is wide color space to narrower space, you can select preset mapping transforms which avoid hard clipping. You can do your own mapping without using these preset transform.

Quick setup function

Just selecting neutral object achieve instant neutralizing to get gray ballaced image. You can select specific color to convert to target color to match skin color. These quick setup functions assists matching of different type of cameras.

Various Color Correction

It supports Tone/Simple/LGG/SOP/Vector/CCU interfaces to do color correction.

Numerical Calcuration

It provides the method to create gray scale table or 3D color table as input data sets to calculate current entire transform to confirm by number. The result can be copied to use spread sheet like Excel.

LUT Device Management

naming

Assign your custom name to each specific device to be shown on the device list

grouping function

You can make groups of the same type devices. The members of the group will be sent the same LUT by one action. You can use 4K control by using the group of four devices. IS-miniX is capable of capturing 4K image by using 4 units group.

Look Sync function

You can create common Look for the different LUT settings of plural devices or groups. One action will create different LUTs but the same Look and send them respectively.

Lock function

To avoid unintentional color change, you can lock any operation to change the color, the function is called "Lock" function.

Scalability

number of units

Basically there is no limit for the number of devices if the system resource allows.

The maximum number of the controllable devices are limited by kind of the license.

Entry License: up to 3 units, Standard License: upto 5 units, Corporate License: 20 units or more.

Manual Color Correction

Tone Curve

Upto 32 points can be used to generate custom curve. The curves can be made for RGB common or RGB independently. You can edit system tone curve to generate proper tone curve in grading space.

Simple

The easy to use interface for the color correction beginners. Color Ballance, Color Temperature, iris emulation, saturation, harden/soften, knee at highlight are available.

LGG/SOP

The control for the generation of ASC CDL parameters.Lift/Gain/Gamma(Shadow/Middle/Highlight) or Slope/Offset/Gamma.

Vector

Adjust hue, saturation and brightness for 12 angle of hue colors. Adding to global control, you can target high/ low brightness colors, or high/low saturated colors respectively.

CCU

Emulation of CCU of system camera. It includs R/B ballance and shadows, pedestrial, knee, gamma, iris controls.

Automatic Color Adjustment

Neutralize

The functions to adjust RGB balance automatically to neutralize for the selected color of captured or loaded image. If IS-miniX is available, it capture the live image and apply on the fly for the neutralization.

Color Matching

Automatic hue/saturation matching of selected color to pre-memorized target color. It uses Vector color adjustment algorithm. It's very effective to match skin tone for two different type of cameras.

Color Shifting

Automatic color balance adjustment of selected color to pre-memorized target color. The purpose is the same as Neutralize function but it's useful when the neutral object is not available.

Look Management

Save Look

Created Look can be sabed with LUT settings. If timeCode is available for LUTBOX, the Look was saved with timeCode. If the device is IS-miniX, captured image and mleta data on SDI will be saved with the Look. If you are using still image viewing, the rendered thumbnail will be created for the Look.

Apply Look

Saved Look can be applied just one click on the Look List, which triggers to create LUT and send it to the LUTBOX instantaneously. You can select the range of the application from Look only, with LUT replacement, or update of monitor settings savend in the Look.

Gradual Look Apply

When applying the Look, instead of applying instantaneously, the Look can be applied gradually during the period of time you set. Smoothness is depend on the type of the LUTBOX and communication speed.

Re-grading Look

You can load the saved look and adjust it to be overwrote. You can save it as a new Look.

Title/Comment/Rank

You can set title, comments, or rank from OK/NG/HOLD for the Look. "Title" can be set consecutively by f2 and return key for the quick input.

Folder Management

Looks can be saved in the folders labeled with date and sub-indexes. Move/Copy/Paste of the Looks are available for the different folders.

Load/Save Look List

Load/Save Look List which contains multiple Looks are supported. The file contains LUTs which are used in the Look so you can move entire setting to other PC by just copying one file.

Assistant for Look Creation

System Tone Curve Display

The system tone curve which represents the characteristics of current entire input/output transform of gray tone scale, is available and update real time. The initial system tone curve, without color correction, is shown to confirm the degree of color correction all the  time.

Color Hexagon Display

6 representative color change from input to output can be shown in hexagon graph. You can confirm the direction and amount of the hue/saturation of the created look in real time.

Exposure shift value

The amount of the brightness change of the created look is calculated in exposure index and is shown in EV step.ます。

Image Preview

The still image which is captured(IS-miniX) or loaded from local file can be process by the LUT/Look in real time to view the result. The position of the mouse cursor, or rectangle selected by the mouse on the image is used to calculate and show the color values of input image(OCV), ACES value(If IDT is available), and output image(MCV) If you are using IS-miniX, WonderLookPro can show the live images which varies real time for the preview and pixel value confirmation.

Graph function

Histgram, Wave Form or Vector scope graphs are generated and shown from the processed image in real time. The pixel value of the mouse cursor or selected rectangle is shown on the graph. Wave Form and Histogram graph have "nits" scale in monitor color space(supports HDR).

Warning function

The pixels of outside Rec709, over 400nits or 1000nits of HDR can be shown in extreme color for warning.

Undo/Redo

WonderLookPro records color correction operation upto 1000 steps to be used for undo. You can re-do the "un-do"ed operation.

Controller

Supports Tangent device controller. Multiple controllers can be assigned to different LUTBOXes.
