ColorBox offers key applications for modern workflows, including:

• 4K/UltraHD SDR and HDR pipelines for live television and concert production.  OB trucks and other live event infrastructure can easily use ColorBox to convert SDR signals to HDR and HDR to other delivery formats.  The licensable ORION-CONVERT and BBC HLG LUTs options as well as the free built-in Colorfront transforms and NBCU LUTs provide all the necessary tools to manage HDR workflows.  For hardware based control, SKAARHOJ and CyanView have integrated native control of ColorBox into their control panels.
• On set look management and color grading for DITs or anyone in charge of ensuring that the content captured on set will meet the needs of the Cinematographer, Director of Photography, colorist, costume and lighting designers, and editors on the production. A DIT can easily manage workflows to load multiple looks, make adjustments as needed and save reference images (up to 4K) for dailies, postproduction, and later use. Pomfort’s Livegrade Pro and Studio and Assimilate Live Looks and Live Assist integrate easily, offering native control of ColorBox in real time.  The unique full frame processing capability of ColorBox eliminates partial frame LUT processing.
• Monitor Calibration. Wherever the highest quality display calibration is required for a production studio, rental house, production or post production facility, ColorBox can help. ColorBox features an extensive API that allows 3rd parties to control the ColorBox Frame Store and its ability to output 12-bit RGB test patches for high quality monitor calibration applications.

ColorBox is just 4in. x 7.5in., requiring a small footprint on your desktop or you can rack mount up to four ColorBox devices in just 1RU for easy addition to both production and post installations, in DIT carts, fly away kits, and equipment racks.  It is also lightweight at just 1 lb. making it perfect for DIT and mobile applications.

AJA Color Pipeline provides users with the most advanced color management tools available for a device of its type.  With 7 nodes of real-time processing plus Overlay, the pipeline offers capabilities only seen in software based color correction applications. These nodes give you full control over colorspace, video level, and dynamic range conversion to get the most out of your color managed workflow.  Dynamic nodes are controllable by 3rd party applications.

This toolset enables workflows to be set up and easily replicated utilizing ColorBox preset import and export capabilities. 

This primary 33pt 3D LUT uses tetrahedral interpolation for the highest accuracy conversion. 3D LUTs provide full volumetric non-linear color adjustment and a 33pt 3D LUT is a requirement for HDR workflows. Very useful for calibration purposes as the controls can respond to all possible calibration errors. Similarly, high end movie and television productions depend on 3D LUT processing for look generation, distribution, and management.  When set to Dynamic, the 3D LUT is fully controllable through 3rd party software like Pomfort’s Livegrade and Assimilate Live Looks.

Flexibility is key in production and post, with four 1D LUTs it is easy to manage your color processing pipeline to get the best possible image.  1D LUTs are commonly used as “shaper LUTs” wrapping around the 3D LUT.  The front shaper 1D LUT allows you to map perceptually significant values, typically the darker part of the color space, to use more of the 3D LUT transform data set resulting in a more effective use of the 3D LUT to produce a better image. The backside shaper 1D LUT is usually the inverse of the front, mapping pixel values into the original dynamic range.  1D LUTs can also be effectively used as log-to-linear and linear-to-log transforms.  In the AJA Color Pipeline, 1D LUTs can even be set up as RGB Color Correctors for color correcting a source before 3D LUT processing, this is a common workflow in live production applications.

ColorBox’s two 3x3 Matrices provide the operator a means to perform different color processing tasks outside of a LUT using their own 3x3 matrix files.  3x3 Matrices are commonly used for colorspace conversion, for example between RGB and XYZ or YUV, BT. 709 and BT. 2020, or other color spaces with different primaries.  A 3x3 Matrix can be used to color balance a signal if the white balance is off.  They can also be used for look creation such as film emulation.  In the AJA Color Pipeline, 3x3 Matrices can even be set up as Proc Amps for adjusting a signal’s Gain, Black level, Hue, and Saturation before 3D LUT processing, this is a common workflow in live production applications.

First popularized by AJA’s FS-HDR, the ColorBox HDR/WCG capabilities leverage video and color space processing algorithms within the Colorfront Engine, specially licensed by AJA from Colorfront, and developed by Colorfront’s CTO Bill Feightner and Lead Engineer Tamas Perlaki.  Colorfront offers a color processing pipeline with set and forget SDR and HDR transforms designed for use wherever HDR productions are performed. It includes:

ORION-CONVERT brings the power of Cromorama color science to real time hardware based conversion.  This same color science is responsible for the Emmy nominated and IBC 2021 Special Award winning NBCU LUT based HDR-SDR broadcast workflows, as well as UEFA Euro 2020, Tokyo 2020 Olympics, FIFA 2021 Arab Cup, Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, and the upcoming FIFA 2022 Qatar World Cup amongst others.  

ORION-CONVERT offers the necessary tools for broadcasters to create and deliver the HDR and SDR content consumers expect from a single master HDR workflow by providing critical controls required to set up the right conversion for your production.  By being able to set the HDR and SDR reference anchor points in an HDR to SDR conversion, you can target an SDR program output that suits your market's SDR display needs.  You can target 200 nits SDR resulting in a much more representative image for the camera shader and a more vibrant HDR image for the viewer at home or target a perceptual match at 100 nits SDR.  Also, in an HDR to SDR conversion, the unique 2 stage knee offers a pre-conversion compression in HDR only and a post-conversion compression in SDR only providing very effective roll off management control. This is a licensable upgrade and includes:

• Conversions utilizing floating point math for higher precision results
• SDR, HLG, and PQ transforms
• Scene-light and Display-light modes
• 2 stage Knee adjustment for pre and post conversion compression or expansion
  • Compression amount control in HDR to SDR conversions
  • Expansion amount control in SDR to HDR conversions
• Configurable SDR and HDR reference anchor points
• HDR Peak Nit sets the system gamma for display light conversions
• Easy to configure pixel perfect round tripping
• Clamping options
• Full bypass node for 12G-SDI and HDMI
• Support for ITU BT.2408-0, Operational Practices in HDR Television Production

This toolset enables HDR workflows to be set up and easily replicated utilizing ColorBox preset import and export capabilities.

BBC HLG LUTs Pipeline offers additional functionality that adds field proven HDR conversion options, particularly for television broadcasters who are looking for specific conversion criteria.  This mode provides an RGB Color Corrector and Proc Amp to color correct the signal prior to conversion.  This is a licensable option and includes:

Unique to a device in its class, ColorBox has incredible frame capture and recall up to 4K/UltraHD 16-bit .tiff files allowing you to capture pre or post processed reference images. Multiple use cases are possible, from VFX composite checks, to look comparisons between takes to ensure consistency, and general reference image capture, recall and import/export to validate the color processing pipeline. Frames can be stored locally on ColorBox for easy access or saved directly to a computer running 3rd party software like Livegrade and Assimilate. Capture or recall up to 16 full resolution images locally with an option to include the Overlay if needed. If the resolution of the image doesn’t match your target format, Colorbox can even scale it to fit.

ColorBox can also output standard test patterns, without the need for an active input. ColorBox test patterns can be used in any number of scenarios where a test signal is needed rather than a source signal. The test patterns are configurable to output a wide range of video formats and frame rates.

In AJA Color Pipeline, the 1D LUTs can be configured as a RGB Color Corrector and the 3x3 matrices as a Proc Amp.  This allows for source color correction and image control prior to or after performing a 3D LUT transform ensuring the best possible conversion. BBC HLG LUTs and NBCU LUTs pipelines also offer a RGB Color Corrector and Proc Amp prior to 3D LUT processing.

ColorBox offers several important features from overlaying selected metadata and user data on the video for live use, capturing or embedding in the .tiff file for later use, or just passing ANC metadata to the next device.  By storing the ANC data one can quickly come back to and recall the exact camera settings, pipeline configuration etc. that created an image. ColorBox also offers a customizable user field that is great for overlaying any information on an image needed to be conveyed to an observer such as camera or lens information if the camera can’t provide it.  These user fields can also be stored on the captured image as part of the Overlay. Overlay accessible data includes Input and Output VPID, Timecode presence, Closed Caption presence, Pipeline Configuration and User Text fields. Output HDMI infoframe status is also available in the UI.

ColorBox offers the largest library capacity of any equivalent device in its class, providing a wealth of creative choice onset or anywhere in the production pipeline. Set up an easy to access bank of options for any shoot, then recall the same settings just as easily in post. 16 onboard memory slots are available for each category of supported files; 1D LUTs, 3D LUTs, 3x3 Matrices, and Images.   

10 pipeline presets can be stored per pipeline and all can be imported and exported to/from ColorBox.  Pipeline Presets store all settings needed to replicate a configured transform.  Included is also a Startup Preset setting that allows an operator to select a specific preset to be loaded upon power up guaranteeing a known startup state.  The Pipeline Presets for AJA Color Pipeline stores all files loaded into the pipeline, active or not, for easy set up and transferring between devices.

Access to the intuitive web UI control with Video Preview for confidence monitoring from any web browser via LAN or supported 3rd party WiFi USB adapters*, allowing local and remote operation.

In this production workflow, we see an on set 12G-SDI signal from a 4K cinema camera system is passed to the ColorBox via the 12G-SDI in. The ColorBox has a 3D LUT applied, which simulates a film look and is monitored for the DIT over the HDMI 2.0 out. At the same time, the DP monitors the same 3D LUT applied video via 12G-SDI, for more critical feedback. Different 3D LUTs are selectable to suit the needs of the production, with easy control provided by the DIT. The loop through on ColorBox is connected to the Ki Pro Ultra 12G, for high quality capture of the video signal without the LUT applied. 3rd party tools can adjust Color Decision Lists (CDL) values on the fly for on-set color grading.

In this production workflow, we see the dailies being played back from a Ki Pro Ultra 12G, via the 12G-SDI out, which is passed to the ColorBox device. Using a laptop and an HDMI 2.0 monitor alongside ColorBox offers a powerful solution in a relatively small area, easily deployed in a small hotel room or modest meeting room. The LUTs used earlier in the day's shooting are easily accessible and applied to match the playback needs, including the options to tweak or audition alternate looks as well, all in real time.

In this live television OB truck production workflow, we see a number of 12G-SDI outputs from UltraHD television camera systems that are passed to a number of ColorBoxes via the 12G-SDI in. SDR to HDR conversion is provided by the ColorBox units, in this case converting each input to be HLG on the output to suit the needs of the current live production single master HDR workflow. ColorBoxes on the output of the switcher, convert HLG to different deliverable formats including SDR and PQ.  As sources are added, more ColorBox units can be included easily to accommodate the production as it scales.

In this post production workflow, a ColorBox is being used inline from the 12G-SDI output of an AJA Io 4K Plus. The timeline output is passed to the output of the Io 4K Plus and out to the ColorBox, where LUTs can be applied to the 12G-SDI monitored output without the need for rendering until later in the process. This allows editors to be nimble with auditioning looks, making decisions without having to wait for complex renders.

In this production workflow, two ColorBoxes are being used inline from the 12G-SDI output of 4K Camera A and 4K Camera B. A KUMO 3232-12G is being used to route the video. A laptop is being used to manage the ColorBoxes from a single desktop, via easily accessible tabs or two browser windows side by side. The ColorBoxes are both connected to a single 12G-SDI monitor, again routed via the KUMO 3232-12G, where changes made inline can be seen and further adjustments made or saved as is necessary. Both cameras can easily be matched, saving time and money in post production.

In this production workflow, the 12G-SDI output of a 4K camera is routed via a KUMO 3232-12G SDI router to two ColorBoxes, A and B. ColorBox A is set up to output a HDR video signal to a 4K HDR monitor, via the KUMO 3232-12G. At the same time, ColorBox B is providing an SDR video signal to a 4K SDR monitor, via the KUMO 3232-12G. Valuable feedback from realtime comparisons of the HDR and SDR video outputs can again save time and money, ensuring the recorded video best matches the needs of all deliverable formats.

"Pomfort’s Livegrade products deliver comprehensive digital imaging systems for demanding productions, tying together look management and on-set monitoring integrated with a wide range of camera workflows and setups," says Patrick Renner, Head of Product at Pomfort. “AJA's ColorBox enables us to dynamically control 3D LUTs in Livegrade, getting framegrabs via Frame Store, and pulling ancillary data, including camera and lens metadata, into source signals."

"AJA ColorBox takes LUT boxes to a whole new level, providing sophisticated color pipeline setups unlike anything we’ve seen before,” shared Mazze Aderhold, Chief strategic workflow engineer at Assimilate. "Professionals can use it to combine multiple LUTs and color matrices to ensure their desired look with an intuitive web UI that makes it easy to operate. We’re proud to continue advancing on-set look management workflows with Live Looks and Live Assist support for ColorBox.”

"When producing live events, camera shading is often combined with live post-processing adjustments. AJA ColorBox provides a flexible hardware processing solution with nodes that ensure accurate mappings as multiple camera types and brands are implemented, and unprecedented color fidelity for live and post production HRD/SDR workflows,” shared David Bourgeois, CEO & Founder, CyanView. “CyanView RCP combines multiple integrations to provide a seamless hardware interface similar to a typical broadcast workflow, and gives ColorBox users more tactile control over these functions. Its intuitive control panel buttons combined with the color accuracy of ColorBox make it easy for the operator to complete post-process adjustments as efficiently as if they were done in camera.”

“SKAARHOJ is excited to integrate AJA ColorBox with our RCP broadcast controllers and Blue Pill platform. Together, these solutions will support best practices out of the box and enable endless color control possibilities,” shares SKAARHOJ CEO, Founder and Chief Designer Kasper Skårhøj.

The latest generation of affordable 4K monitors utilize an HDMI 2.0 connection, which allows a full 4K signal to be passed over a single cable. Typical professional 4K workflows use four SDI cables to carry the full resolution image, making it difficult to incorporate these newer monitors. OG-Hi5-4K-Plus is an easy-to-use converter that bridges the gap between these two worlds for seamless integration.

HDR or High Dynamic Range,  provides the ability to display a wider and richer range of colors, much brighter whites, and much deeper, darker blacks than standard signals allow. This gives your imagery a more ‘dynamic’ look and allows for natural true to life colors to be communicated to your audience.

OG-Hi5-4K Plus provides this support for your 4K/UltraHD/HD HDR pipelines toHDMI compatible displays by generating HDR metadata in accordance with HDMI v2.0a/CTA-861.3.  OG-Hi5-4K-Plus also provides support for Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG)  HDR displays over HDMI.

Explore more of our HDR Solutions here:

Typical 4K signals use a resolution of 4096x2160 pixels while UltraHD signals measure 3840x2160. This difference can prevent some monitors from being used either in full 4K workflows or in UltraHD workflows. OG-Hi5-4K-Plus can compensate for these resolution differences, allowing UltraHD monitors to be used in 4K productions and vice versa.

OG-Hi5-4K-Plus also supports High Frame Rate (HFR) inputs. 4K/UltraHD signals at 50 or 60p can be fed into OG-Hi5-4K-Plus and output at up to 60p for viewing with appropriate HDMI 2.0 capable displays.
