Built for broadcast applications, the AJA ColorBox HDR/SDR Color Converter is an SDR/HDR/WCG signal-supporting device capable of managing color-driven workflows for consistent conversion across live programs. One 12G-SDI input delivers up to UHD 4K video to two 12G-SDI outputs or one HDMI 2.0 output for high-quality video. The ColorBox can also support up to 16-bit TIFF images. Outfitted with 3D LUT processing with support for 1D LUTs and 3x3 matrices, the ColorBox offers user-configurable color control using industry-standard file types.
Five processing pipeline modes, including two licensable upgrade options, are available for the ColorBox: AJA Color, Colorfront, NBCU LUTs, ORION-CONVERT, and BBC HLG LUT. Advanced setting control for the device can be achieved via the web user interface using the Gigabit Ethernet port. A mini-USB port on the front panel can connect a third-party controller and configure the initial IP address of the device. Included with the ColorBox is an AC power adapter for integration into your preexisting broadcast configuration.
