COLORBOX

AJA

Built for broadcast applications, the AJA ColorBox HDR/SDR Color Converter is an SDR/HDR/WCG signal-supporting device capable of managing color-driven workflows for consistent conversion across live programs. One 12G-SDI input delivers up to UHD 4K video to two 12G-SDI outputs or one HDMI 2.0 output for high-quality video. The ColorBox can also support up to 16-bit TIFF images. Outfitted with 3D LUT processing with support for 1D LUTs and 3x3 matrices, the ColorBox offers user-configurable color control using industry-standard file types.Five processing pipeline modes, including two licensable upgrade options, are available for the ColorBox: AJA Color, Colorfront, NBCU LUTs, ORION-CONVERT, and BBC HLG LUT. Advanced setting control for the device can be achieved via the web user interface using the Gigabit Ethernet port. A mini-USB port on the front panel can connect a third-party controller and configure the device's initial IP address. Included with the ColorBox is an AC power adapter for integration into your preexisting broadcast configuration.Features at a Glance Ultralow latency, less than half a video lineSeven LUT nodes plus overlay: one 3D LUT processor, four 1D LUT processors, two 3x3 matric processorsSupports industry-standard file types; no conversion is neededFive color processing pipelines: AJA color, Colorfront mode, NBCU LUTs, ORION-CONVERT mode (Licensed Upgrade), BBC HLG LUT mode (Licensed Upgrade)Video preview in web user interface for monitoringNine built-in test patterns up to UHD 4KUser text, input/output signal, and pipeline configuration in overlay outputOnboard library for file management of 16 1D LUTs, 16 3D LUTs, 16 3x3 matrices, and 16 imagesEmbedded SDI 16-channel and HDMI 8-channel pass-throughLightweight 1 RU unit with ultraquiet fan operation4-pin mini-XLR DC power connectorSelect button on the front panel bypasses video processingExtensive API for third-party control integrationGigabit Ethernet port and embedded web server for remote controlConfigure IP address via mini-USB port and set up software for both Windows and macOSIntegration Across Applications UHD 4K SDR and HDR pipelines for live television and converts. OB trucks and other live event teams can use ColorBox signals and convert SDR to HDR and HDR to other delivery formats. Licensable Colorfront, ORION, CONVERT A DIT can manage workflows to load multiple looks, make adjustments, and save reference images for dailies, post-production, and other uses. Pomfort Livegrade Pro and Studio, Assimilate Live Looks, and Live Assist, as well as QTAKE Video Assist software, integrate easily with native control. Full-frame processing eliminates partial LUT processing. Colorbox features extensive API that allows third parties to control the Frame Store and output 12-bit RGB test patches for monitor calibration.Image Processing Pipelines ColorBox features a range of image pipelines to choose from, depending on your production needs. Pipelines like Colorfront, ORION-CONVERT, or BBC HLG LUTs will display a watermark over the image until a license is applied. The device offers full 12-bit 4:4:4 up to 4K30 and 10-bit 4:2:2 up to 4K60, plus down conversion. A bypass node is integrated into each pipeline for both 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 outputs for quick input/output comparisons. Six image processing pipelines are available: AJA Color, Colorfront, ORION-CONVERT, BBC HLG LUTs, NBCU LUTs, and ACES.33-Point 3D LUT Processor The primary 22-point 3D LUT processor uses tetrahedral interpolation for the highest accuracy color conversion. This processor is a requirement for HDR workflows and is very useful for calibration purposes. When set to dynamic, the 3D LUT is fully controllable through third-party software. The processor supports a wide range of file types, including .CLF and .CTF.1D LUTs With four 1D LUTs, you can easily manage your color processing pipeline for the best possible image. These LUTs are referred to as "shaper LUTs", which wrap around the 3D LUT
