Important Notes About
Cameras Supported by
Canon XF:
Canon C300:
13.3 LUT Enable
13.4 LUT File
Ki Pro Quad v5.2r3
The following notes describe the functionality of various cameras supported by Ki Pro
Quad parameter 13.1.
13.1
Because the Camera Data parameter requires the use of SDI, only the XF series cameras
that feature SDI outputs can be used with this feature. These cameras provide ancillary
data that produces ststop commands but not clip naming.
These cameras provide ancillary data that produces ststop commands but not clip
naming. The Canon EOS C300 outputs 1080i by default, but can produce true progressive
video within this interlaced output. The extraction of 1080p 23.98 from within 1080i
29.97 and 1080p 24 from within 1080i 30 is automatic if the camera is properly
configured and the Camera Data selection is set to Canon C300; users do not need to
manually set the Record Type parameter separately. However, for 1080p 25 that is output
as 1080i 25 and 1080p 29.97 that is output as 1080i 29.97 from the camera, users need to
manually select "PsF:" in the Record Type (1.1) menu parameter even if they have
selected the Canon C300 in the Camera Data parameter. This selection is required
because there is no ancillary data indicating these frame rates within the SDI output of
the camera.
This parameter allows the use of an input or output lookup table (LUT) with RGB video.
For details, see the explanation following tables 13.3 and 13.4 below. These are the
options:
Off (default)
Input
Output
This parameter specifies the name of the LUT file, if used. These are the options:
None (default)
LUT Name
Since the Ki Pro Quad may work with log RGB video without a linear look applied, the use
of LUTs may be desirable to either "bake in" a look or, more commonly, monitor material
with a "normal" look.
Note that you may only enable either an Input LUT or an Output LUT; this is done so that
two LUTs cannot be applied at the same time resulting in applying a "double LUT" to an
image. When an Input LUT is applied, it impacts the encoded video and thereby all
outputs. An Output LUT only impacts the video outputs, not the recordings. Additionally,
a LUT can only actually be applied to an RGB or log RGB video source. If a LUT is loaded,
but YCbCr video is used, there is no impact or effect on the YCbCr video; LUTs are ignored
for YCbCr sources.
LUTs are not loaded via the front panel UI; LUTs may only be loaded via the web UI.
Selections are provided in the web UI alongside the 13.4 LUT File parameter. "Choose
File" appears when the LUT Enable selection is set to either Input or Output.
A Factory Reset re-sets both 13.3 and 13.4 menu parameters to Off and None,
respectively. A LUT loaded to the Ki Pro Quad survives power cycling the unit though.
Disables use of LUTs.
Enables use of an input LUT.
Enables use of an output LUT.
No LUT file used.
Shows the specified LUT file name. LUT files are loaded via the
web browser user interface.
