Load two custom 1D LUTs and two custom 3D LUTs (four total) into LUT-box to adjust the “look” for any source signal with simultaneous outputs to HDMI and SDI monitors from a single LUT-box.
Control About LUT Data The LUT-box has four areas that can store LUT data,1D LUT slots A and B, and 3D LUT slots Write and Read A and B. Externally accessed (via USB) LUT file data is written directly into a LUT-box slot, where it acquires a proprietary internal data structure.
This process is detailed in “USB Control and Setup—Using AJA MiniConfig” on page 7. When configured with the correct LUT, the LUT-box can be powered down, moved to the target display, and when powered back up retains those configuration settings.
MiniConfig control is disabled. The DIP switch label identifies the functions of the switch positions. The LUT-box originally shipped with a label showing Aux 1, 2, and 3 functions. For LUT-box version 2.0 additional 1D LUT functions were added. Figure 3. LUT-box DIP Switches Version 2.0 Label...

You can choose which Mini-Converter you wish to control using the pulldown menu in the upper right hand corner.
LUT Write and Read Write and Read The LUT-box Mini-Converter has additional controls for writing external LUT data into a Controls 1D or 3D LUT slot, and reading LUT data from a slot to send to an external location, using USB.
You need to open this package to access the sample LUT files. They cannot be accessed directly from the Mac Mini-Config browser. 1. Using the Mac finder, access the installed location of the Mini-Config application. By default it is installed in the Applications folder. LUT-box Mini-Converter v2.1r1 www.aja.com...
3. Navigate to the LUT files, located at Contents/Resources/types/lut_box. Two folders are used, one for 1D-LUTs and the other for 3D-LUTS. 4. Copy the files to another location accessible to your computer and to the LUT-box Mini-Converter. 5. You will now be able to use MiniConfig to access and write the sample LUT files into your LUT-Box.

With this screen you can enable and disable LUT processing and switch between the different LUTs. The screen has two areas, one for 1D LUTs, and the other for 3D LUTs. The controls in these two areas perform identical functions for each type of LUT.
