ORION-CONVERT Workflow Example
Round Trip Conversion
Thanks to the core design of the ORION-CONVERT algorithm, it is very easy and
fast to create a conversion round trip (up-conversion and down-conversion).
1. Choose one of the conversions needed (we recommend starting with an
HDR to SDR for example) and feed content into the device.
2. Choose on the drop-down menu the direction of the conversion and select
the method you would like to use and all other parameters relevant to your
conversion (HDR Peak, etc…).
3. Now you are all set to start creating your highlight compression/expansion
using the powerful pre and post sliders.
4. Once you’ve found the desired result, simply invert the direction of
the conversion on the drop-down menu and you will get an absolute
mathematical invert to ensure a clean round trip.
BBC HLG LUTs Pipeline
NOTE: The Frame Store, Bypass, and Overlay controls are available on all ColorBox
pipeline modes, and their settings are applied to all the other pipeline modes.
These settings are also saved to Presets.
The BBC HLG LUTs Pipeline offers licensed 3D LUTs that add field proven HDR
conversion options, particularly for television broadcasters who are looking for
specific conversion criteria. This mode provides a RGB Color Corrector (see
) and Proc Amp (see
) to
color correct the signal prior to conversion.
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.
