Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
Working with material outside the normal REC709 video color space (such as LOG
material) can cause confusion both on set and in the edit suite with colors that are not
properly represented for client review and approval. LUT-box ensures that every monitor
is showing the correct color “look” for any source signal while still allowing the footage to
maintain its original color look and take advantage of additional dynamic range.
Features
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. Auto controls are available to configure the unit automatically to match
the input and output video parameters. Switch between two LUTs, using MiniConfig or
DIP switches, to quickly A/B compare between the two. You can even apply a 1D LUT and
a 3D LUT simultaneously, feeding the output of the 1D LUT to the input of the 3D LUT for
serial processing.
Once configured, the settings are non-volatile. The unit can be disconnected from USB,
powered down, moved to a new location, and placed into operation there, retaining that
configuration.
1D and 3D LUTs LUT-box supports 10-bit and 12-bit 1D LUTs, and 3D LUTs at 17x17x17 or 16x16x16 with
12-bit processing for accurate color representation.
Multiple LUT formats are supported. See “LUT File Format Support” on page 22 for a
complete listing.
Connectivity LUT-box accepts 3G and Dual-Link input in a wide range of signal formats. Simultaneous
SDI and HDMI outputs allow multiple monitors to view the corrected color signal, and inline monitoring of an SDI feed.

Audio Integration Up to 8-channels of embedded SDI and HDMI audio output are supported. You can
select which SDI embedded audio input channels are used (Ch 1-8 or Ch 9-16), and can
choose to route all eight or just one pair of these channels to the HDMI output. Two
channels of analog audio output allow direct external monitoring without the need to
disembed the audio separately.
USB and MiniConfig
Support
AJA’s free MiniConfig software can be used with any USB-enabled AJA Mini-Converter
and provides an easy-to-use graphical interface with detailed information about the
current input and output formats. Control all the parameters of any supported AJA MiniConverter as well as loading firmware updates from AJA that add new features and
functionality.
DIP Switch Control DIP switches on the bottom of the unit allow local control of some features without a
computer. One of the DIP switches is a “Local/Remote” switch. When in the “Local” mode,
the remaining DIP switches support a subset of the user controls. When in the “Remote”
mode, the normal Mini-Converter non-volatile registers control the unit (as last set).
Universal Power Supply All AJA Mini-Converters ship with a Universal Power Supply that includes international
plug connections for use around the world.
5-year Warranty All AJA Mini-Converters are covered by a 5-year warranty and AJA's advanced
replacement policy. If a replacement is necessary, AJA will ship a new unit immediately
without the need to send the original unit back first, ensuring you are up and running
again as quickly as possible.

About LUT Data Write and Read
The LUT-box has four areas that can store LUT data,1D LUT slots A and B, and 3D LUT slots
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. The file name of the source of the
LUT data written into the slot is displayed on the MiniConfig LUT screen. Data residing in
one of the LUT-box slots can be read from that slot, and then be sent to an external
location via USB. When sending the data, you can select a LUT file format (.txt, .3dl, .lut,
.cube) for the data, and produce a file at that destination location that can be used with
other LUT-boxes and color management applications. This also makes it possible to
convert LUT files from one format to another. However, due to internal math rounding

errors, converted LUTs may not perfectly match each other, though any differences will
be extremely small.

Installation
Typically, LUT-box installation consists of the following steps:
1. Ensure the LUT-box is disconnected from power.
2. Connect equipment to the SDI input connector(s), and to the SDI out and/or HDMI
out connectors.
3. Connect audio equipment to RCA output connectors (optional).
4. Apply power to the converter (AJA power supply included).
5. The converter will now run using the default factory settings. This default
configuration applies no conversion, passing the incoming video to the outputs, and
routes the first two channels of embedded audio (if present) to the RCA jacks.
6. To use the LUT box you need to load one or two custom LUTs, using MiniConfig:
• Install the AJA MiniConfig software (supplied on CD) on your computer.
• Attach the converter via USB.
• Make your changes using MiniConfig setup screens.
This process is detailed in “USB Control and Setup—Using AJA MiniConfig” on page 9.
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.

DIP Switch Settings
Eight DIP switches are located on the bottom of the unit. The default shipping position
for these switches is Off (left). By default, DIP switch configuration is enabled, and
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.

you to set up the converter for different applications, storing each (with Save) to a unique
name for easy recall—using the Open menu item. A Revert to Factory Settings menu item
similarly allows you to change the settings back to AJA’s factory defaults. An Edit menu
allows you to cut and paste values to/from fields, just as in other applications.
The MiniConfig application provides a graphic interface for viewing settings and
updating software. It consists of an information area at the top that shows the available
Mini-Converters attached to the computer via USB, with a graphical rendering of the
selected Mini-Converter showing all the connectors and their current state.
Colored text next to the connectors indicates the signal type and what the MiniConverter is doing:
• Blue text indicates the values automatically selected
• Black text indicates values that you have manually selected
• Red text indicates the Mini-Converter is not detecting a signal or cannot negotiate with
the attached device

Screens are virtually the same on both PC and Mac, with subtle differences that reflect
the general look of the platform environment.
Running Multiple Mini-
Converters:
MiniConfig can manage multiple AJA Mini-Converters connected via USB—even when
they are of differing types. However it only connects to one at a time. You can choose
which Mini-Converter you wish to control using the pulldown menu in the upper right
hand corner. If you want to configure and update multiple Mini-Converters in parallel,
you can do it by running multiple instances of the MiniConfig application and have each
control a different Mini-Converter.

Sample LUT Files Sample LUT files are included with the Mini-Config application and are installed onto
your computer along with the Mini-Config application. These files are accessed
differently, depending on the whether you are using a Mac or PC.
Mac Sample LUT File Access On a Mac, sample LUT files are included in the application package that is installed on the
computer. 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.

2. Right click on the MiniConfig application name and select Show Package Contents.
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.
PC Sample LUT File Access On a PC, sample LUT files are installed by default into the Program Files/AJA/MiniConfig/
types/lut_box folder. Two directories are used, one for 1D-LUTs and the other for 3D-LUTS.
These locations are accessible directly from the MiniConfig browser. The sample LUT files
can also be copied to another location accessible by that computer, if desired.
