3D LUTs
The ‘LUTS’ menu lets you choose a built-in LUT as well as import and export 3D LUTs to your
Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2.
Introducing 3D LUTs
3D LUTs can be applied to your camera’s HDMI output and Blackmagic RAW files. LUTs work
by telling your camera what color and luminance output to show for a particular color and
luminance input. For example, a LUT may tell your camera to display a vibrant, saturated blue
when it receives a relatively dull blue input. This can be useful when shooting Blackmagic RAW
footage, or using ‘film’ dynamic range, both of which have an intentionally undersaturated, ‘flat’
appearance. By applying a LUT, you can get an idea of what your footage will look like after it
has been graded.
It is easy to create 3D LUTs using DaVinci Resolve or other color correction software, and LUTs
are available online from a variety of sources. Up to thirty 17 point or 33 point 3D LUTs up to 1.5
megabytes each can be stored on the camera. Once loaded, you can choose to display a given
LUT on your camera’s HDMI output.
Your Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 supports 33 point 3D LUTs in .cube format created
in DaVinci Resolve and 17 point 3D LUTs converted to Resolve .cube format via LUT conversion
programs. Your camera processes 3D LUTs using high quality tetrahedral interpolation.
Built-in LUTs
A number of built in LUTs are provided that allow you to preview different looks when shooting
in ‘film’ dynamic range or Blackmagic RAW.
Your camera provides LUTs that are specific to Gen 5 color science:
Gen 5 Film to Extended Video
Displays a wider dynamic range than the ‘film to video’ LUT, and applies a mild contrast
change with a smooth roll off in the highlights.
Gen 5 Film to Rec 2020 Hybrid Log Gamma
Displays a gamma curve that is suitable for HDR screens and compatible with standard
dynamic range screens.
