ColorBox In-Line Color and HDR/SDR Transform v1.0 32 www.aja.com
program output that suits your markets’ 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.
NOTE: Watermarks are added to the ColorBox's video output when an unlicensed
pipeline is being used. This lets you test the color science in advance of purchase.
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 v2.0
• Support for ITU BT.2408-0, Operational Practices in HDR Television Production
ORION-CONVERT Configure Pane Description
When the ORION-CONVERT node is selected in that pipeline, the Configure pane
shows an array of dynamic controls, which can vary depending on the direction of
conversion selected. Parameter controls not appropriate for a selected conversion
type will be grayed out. All conversions have an Output/Clamping control.
The following groups of parameters are available for each conversion type:
