Unlock World-Class HDR/SDR Conversion with the ORION-CONVERT License
Elevate your AJA ColorBox to the pinnacle of broadcast-quality color management with the ORION-CONVERT license. This powerful upgrade integrates the renowned Cromorama color science directly into your hardware, enabling real-time, high-precision HDR/SDR conversions that meet the exacting standards of top-tier global productions. This isn't just theory—it's the same Emmy-nominated color science trusted by NBCU for their award-winning, LUT-based broadcast workflows. The proof is in the production, with this technology powering major international events including UEFA Euro 2020, the Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022 Olympics, and multiple FIFA World Cups.
The ORION-CONVERT license is engineered to solve the core challenge of modern broadcasting: creating and delivering exceptional HDR and SDR content from a single master HDR workflow. It provides you with the granular control necessary to perfect your output for any target market or display. By allowing you to independently set HDR and SDR reference anchor points, you can precisely tailor the conversion. Target 200 nits for a more vibrant, representative image for the camera shader and a stunning HDR experience for home viewers, or achieve a perfect perceptual match at a standard 100 nits SDR. This flexibility ensures your creative intent is always preserved, regardless of the viewing format.
A key innovation within ORION-CONVERT is its unique two-stage knee adjustment. This gives you unprecedented control over dynamic range, allowing you to apply pre-conversion compression in the HDR domain and post-conversion compression in the SDR domain. This dual-stage process provides highly effective roll-off management, protecting your highlights and shadows with surgical precision. The entire toolset is designed for efficiency, enabling complex HDR workflows to be configured once and then easily replicated across multiple ColorBox units using simple preset imports and exports. Upgrade today and bring the power, precision, and proven success of ORION-CONVERT to your productions.
