Unlock Broadcast-Grade HDR with the AJA ColorBox BBC HLG License
Elevate your HDR production to the pinnacle of broadcast quality with the official BBC HLG LUT License for your AJA ColorBox. This powerful software upgrade is meticulously engineered for television broadcasters, post-production houses, and live event producers who demand the utmost accuracy, reliability, and flexibility in real-time color conversion. By activating this license, you integrate a suite of field-proven, BBC-designed Look-Up Tables directly into your ColorBox, transforming it into a definitive tool for modern HDR workflows.
The license unlocks the complete BBC HLG LUTs Pipeline, a sophisticated toolset that goes far beyond simple conversion. Its standout feature is the integrated RGB Color Corrector and Proc Amp, which empower you to make critical signal adjustments before the LUT is applied. This gives you unparalleled creative control to perfect your source signal—whether it's SDR, PQ, or S-Log3—to achieve a flawless HLG output without compromising the integrity of the core conversion. This pre-processing capability is essential for matching cameras and correcting footage on the fly in demanding live environments.
At its heart, the pipeline leverages high-precision 33-point Tetrahedral 3D LUT Interpolation, ensuring smooth, artifact-free transformations between color spaces and gamma curves. It fully supports mathematical HLG HDR dynamic range mapping as defined by the ITU BT.2408 standard, guaranteeing your deliverables meet global broadcast specifications. This license provides a comprehensive list of conversions, including scene-light and display-light options to fit any point in your workflow. The entire toolset integrates seamlessly with ColorBox presets, allowing you to build, save, and instantly recall complex HDR workflows, ensuring absolute consistency and efficiency across your projects.
