lut_mode <mode> 

 

Selects the LUT operational mode which are described in the following table: 
 

Mode 

Description 

0 

Table based using interpolation. The user has to specify a table with a maximum of 48 values. 
Intended for offline calibration. 

1  

Fast gamma mode where the user only specifies the desired gamma value. 
Can be used for gamma changes during runtime. 

2 

Fixed gamma mode where the user selects one of three fixed gamma tables. 

 

8.11.3

 

lut_preset <index> 

 
Selects the preset storage for the current LUT interpolator. There are up to 5 presets which can be modified.

lut_sample_master <xi_0> <yi_0> ... <xi_7> <yi_7>  

 

Defines the sample points in a lookup table for all colors. The x-value is the input value, the y-value is output.

  

 

Value 

Minimal 

Maximal 

xi_n

 

0 

5904 

Yi_n 

0 

5904 

 
Sets up to 8 sample points at a time, up to a total of 54 for the look up definition for all colors. For setting more 
than 8 points, the function can be called multiple times. In case a x-position is set twice, the previous value is 
overwritten. 
 
Remarks: 
1.

 

When more than 54 points are defined, an error message is dumped.  

2.

 

lut_sample_<color> command should be used to read back the current sample point. lut_sample_master will 
not return sample data.
