The User LUT function incorporated in a Canon video display (hereafter, “display”) imports the
one-dimensional Look-up Table (1D-LUT) and three-dimensional Look-up Table (3D-LUT) created by
the user to the display and adjust s t he look.
The User LUT function is used as follows.
① Create a LUT file (clut format file).
② Import the created LUT file to the display via a USB memory.
1. Concept Drawing of Display Image Processing and User LUT
About the LUT file (1D-LUT)
• The settings after [1D-LUT] are gamma = 2.2 and quantization range = Full Range. Therefore, the
1D-LUT file to be import ed to [1D-LUT] should be created in consideration of a gamma of 2.2.
• When linear data is set in the 1D-LUT file, the dis play characteristics are gamma = 2.2 and color
temperature and color ga mut values set by the OSD menu.
About the LUT file (3D-LUT)
• The settings after [3D-LUT] are gamma = 2.2, color temperature value set by the OSD menu, and
color gamut (base color g amut) set by the O SD menu w hen i mport ing th e 3D-LUT file to the display.
Therefore, the 3D-LUT file to be imported to [3D-LUT] should be created in consideration of these
settings.

• When linear data is set in the 3D-LUT file, the display characteristics are the gamma, color
temperature and base co l or gamut set by the OSD menu.
• Regardless of the [1D-LUT] settings, when setting the 3D-LUT file without performing color
temperature image processing, set the color temperature setting in the OSD menu to “DCI”. In this
case, the display charact eristics are ga mma = 2.2, color temperature = DCI, and color ga mut = base
color gamut.
About the base color gamut
• The base color gamut is the color gamut used as the reference when creating a 3D-LUT. The base
color gamut can be select ed from SMPTE-C, EBU, ITU-R BT.709, Adobe RGB, DCI or Native. This
is set by the OSD menu when import ing the 3D-LUT file to the display.

3. Examples of Crea ting LUT Files
1D-LUT: When using a Viewing LUT* for Canon Log gamma
conversion
The method of creating a LUT file (1D-LUT) using a Viewing LUT for conversion fro m Canon Log
gamma to WideDR gamma is described below.
* This exa mple describes the case when using “LUT (lookup table) f or Canon Log Gamma, Canon Log 10 to WideDR 10 LUT Version 1.1”.
① Download the Viewing LUT to the PC to be used.
• Download the Viewing LUT provided by CINEMA EOS noted above from the Canon website.
② Convert the dynamic ra nge of the Viewing LUT.
• The Viewing LUT is a 10-bit input 10-bit output 1D-LUT.
• The Viewing LUT has a black level of 4 and a white level of 1019, so per form range conversion
to adjust to the dynamic range of the display. Next, normalize t o 1023 to match the LUT file
(1D-LUT) format.
Labeling the n-gradation lat tice point data of the Viewing LUT as Lut (n), the n-gradation lattice
point data (LUT fi le (1DLUT)_n) after range conversion and n ormalization is obtained by the
following calculation. (n: 0 to 1023)
All the lattice point (gradat ion 0 to 1023) data of the Viewing LUT is calculated based on the
above formula.
The number of bits is 32 bits (fixed value).
③ Change the format.
• Refer to “2. LUT File Configuration”.
④ Save the created LUT file to the USB memory.
• USB memory format: FAT32 or FAT16
• LUT file copy destination folder: USB memory root folder
Setting the display and importing the LUT file
Also refer to the Instructio n ma nual of the display.
① Connect the USB memory on which the LUT file is saved to the USB terminal of the display.
② Select one of “User 1” to “User 7” from Pi ct ure Mode in the OSD menu.
• Set the color temperature and color gamut to arbitr ary values.
③ Select “Adjustment” →“LUT Import” in the OSD menu.
• LUT Type: Select “Gamma”.
• File Name: Select the corresponding LUT file na m e.

3D-LUT: When using a DaVinci Resolve or Pablo 3D-LUT
The method of applying a 3D-LUT, exported by Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve or Quantel’s
Pablo, to a display is described below.
The example below shows the case when converting DCI color space to ITU-R BT.709 color space.
• DCI (input color space): Color gamut = DCI, co lor temperature = DCI, gamma = 2.6
• ITU-R BT.709 (output color space): Color gamut = ITU-R BT. 70 9, color temperature = D65,
gamma = 2.2
① Export the DaVinci Resolve or Pablo 3D-LUT.
• Refer to the DaVinci Resolve or Pablo Instruction manual for the export method.
② Change the file extension of the output fi le to “.clut”. (Example: ***.cube / ***.txt → ***.clut)
③ Comment out all locations other than the actual LUT data in the output file.
• Add “#” to the start.
(Example) When using DaVinci Resolve
#TITLE "Generate by Res olv e"
#LUT_3D_SIZE 17
0.00000000 0.00000000 0.00000000
0.12876712 0.03652968 0.01917808

• When the actual LUT data format differs, nor malize t o 32F (32-bit floating dec imal point , range: 0
to 1). See “2. LUT File Configuration” for the format.
(Example) When using DaVinci Resolve
When the LUT range is 0 to 1.0, use the data as is.
Note: When the LUT range differs, perform range conver sion.
(Example) When using Pablo
Conversion to 32F is required. When the LUT range is 0 to 1023 and the actual Pablo
data is Pablo_3DLUT (l,m,n), the 3DLUT(l,m,n) gradation lattice point data (LUT
file(3DLUT)_lmn) of the display is obtained by t he fo llowing calculation. (l,m,n: 0 to 16)
LUT file(3DL UT) _lmn=Pablo_3DLUT (l,m,n)÷1023
All the lattice point data of t he LUT is calculated based on t he above formula.
Note: If the LUT range differs, perfor m range conversion.
⑥ Save the created LUT file to the USB memory.
• USB memory format: FAT32 or FAT16
• LUT file copy destination folder: USB memory root folder
Also refer to the Instructio n ma nual of the display.
① Connect the USB memory on which the LUT file is saved to the USB termi nal of t he display.
② Select one of “User 1” to “User 7” from Pi ct ure Mode in the OSD menu.
• Set gamma = 2.2 and color temperature = D65.
• W hen setting the LUT without performing color temperature image processing, always set the
color temperature to DCI. In this case, create the DaVinci Resolve or Pablo 3D-LUT again in
consideration of color te m per at ur e = DCI.
③ Select “Adjustment” → “LUT Import” in the OSD menu.
