LUTs
A LUT or Look Up Table is a table that transforms the color response and as
such adjusts the ‘Look’ of the input. 3D LUTs have a combination of three
inputsdeningthecombinationofR,G,andBvaluesallowingforadjustment
of not only color but also gamma and gamut. LUTs can also be used to
monitortheinputinaspeciccolorspaceormorecreativelytocreatea
specic‘look’suchaslmstockemulationortomatchcameras.
It’s worth nothing that not all LUTs are equal and the majority of LUTs are
designed to work with in the boundaries of REC.709. This means that
whilst they may apply the color adjustments you are looking for they may
also effect the luminance of the image and in which case these LUTs
should only be used for delivery of content designed to be viewed in
REC.709 or SDR. If you are working with 3D LUTs you can use color
correction applications, as well as applications like Davinci Resolve,
Photoshop or dedicated applications like LUTCalc. to create you own
custom Looks that can then be imported to your Atomos device. They
can provide a great base or primary grade that allow you to apply an
instant look to your footage.
Atomos support 3D LUTs in the industry standard .CUBE format and
provides 8 LUT memory slots for you load your LUTs in to.1D LUTs are
not supported and will need to be converted via 3rd party software to be
