LUT Boxes

Hello, eeColor has been measured by 2 professional calibrators (here & here), both have post @ AVSForum that with eeColor in/out of the video signal chain it has no measured difference, zero input lag (0ms).

There is a 3D Cube Resolution Comparison Guide for the users to visualize the difference of calibrated color points precision over various cube resolution sizes between all available hardware solutions of pro industry & consumer market.

Also there is a 3D LUT Boxes / Video Processors Comparison table page with the complete spec. list of the available hardware solutions.


VideoEQ or VideoMX or DVDO iScan DUO are not 3D LUT capable devices.

VideoEQ has only one point of controls at it's CMS, 1 for R-G-B-C-M-Y. this is not 3D LUT, this is called 6-Axis 1-Point CMS, means 6 Colors in total for the whole CMS table, so you can move these 6 only color points in 3D Space, not to calibrate multiple points per axis, like eeColor (65-Point), Lumagen Radiance (5-Point), Lumagen Radiance 2xxx (9-Point) or Lumagen Radiance 21xx (17-Point).

VideoEQ has exactly the same controls (In CMS area) like the ones that TV Sets from Panasonic, Samsung. LG feature internally, nothing more, same type of CMS calibration controls but with more precision steps (0.1 step of tweaking per each control value while the TV's have 1 step).

DVDO iScan DUO has 1D LUT (Grayscale+Gamma) and very limited CMS, only a global Saturation and Hue(Tint) control, you can separately control 1-Point per Primary+Secondary Colors like VideoEQ.

eeColor is a a true 3D-LUT Table Device (with six memories of 65-Point Cube Correction Table) and that makes it the device with the largest 3D-LUT Table Memory with 65x65x65 (274.625 Color Points) with HDMI In-Out available.
 
Thank you, very informative.

What software do I need to create a LUT for eecolor? And what reasonably priced probe would you recommend?
 
You can use eeColor 3D LUT Box to perform Large 3D Cube Calibrations with:

LightSpace (Full CMS / HCC / HCL licence levels) or
CalMAN 5 (Enthusiast / Expert / Professional / Studio / Ultimate licence levels) or
ArgyllCMS (free open source).

With CalMAN / ArgyllCMS you can use the X-Rite's i1Display PRO (Retail or OEM version)

With LightSpace you can use the X-Rite's i1Display PRO OEM version only.
 
I wonder if there's 1k$< 4k lut boxes being developed? It would be great to futureproof.

It's at early developing right now a 2160p Input HDCP 2.2 3D LUT box from Lumagen, the RadiancePro with retail of about $5.000 with HDMI In-Out.

Hi, Beta testing of the upcoming Lumagen (UltraHD Input-Output with HDCP 2.2) Video Processor will start very soon.

If you are interested in buying a beta unit (big price reduction) and helping with development you can contact Lumagen directly for more details.
 
Update from Lumagen Radiance Pro UHD Video Processor:

All inputs and outputs will be HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2. The new HDMI 2.0 chips are from Silicon Image and have an internal microprocessor with reprogrammable flash memory. This will allow Lumagen to provide updates when Silicon Image provides a new release and should help to eliminate compatibility issues.

The chips Lumagen currently buying support up to 4k60, 8-bit, 4:2:0, which equates to 9 GHz.

The 18 GHz chips should be available to Lumagen later this year and they plan to do a input and output module for the Radiance Pro for this. So there is an upgrade path for RadiancePro Beta owners to be able to upgrade to 18 GHz.

Inputs and outputs are on dual-input, or dual-output, daughter cards. This helps in several ways. When new HDMI chip versions come on line you will be able to purchase HDMI upgrade cards rather than needing to buy a new unit. Using I/O cards also helps if you happen to have a power surge that takes out an input or an output. You can get back running by replacing one I/O card and not the entire unit.

The base unit has six HDMI 2.0 inputs. This can be optioned up to eight HDMI 2.0 inputs. All inputs will support 4k60, 8-bit, 4:2:0.

The base unit has two HDMI 2.0 outputs that support 4k60 8-bit 4:2:0. There is an option to add more outputs.

You can contact Lumagen directly for more details or if someone want to join the Radiance Pro (Beta) group.
