To turn a 3D LUT on, simply click the 'use 3D LUT 1' or 'use 3D LUT 2' options. To turn the
3D LUT off, click the 'bypass 3D LUT' option.
TIP
You can also enable a 3D LUT by pressing the 1 or 2 buttons on the unit's
front panel. Press the buttons again to turn a 3D LUT off.
Bypass 3D LUT
Click on this button disable all 3D LUTs so the HDMI output does not have a 3D LUT applied.
Clear
Click on this button to remove 3D LUT 1 or 3D LUT 2 from your converter's internal memory.
Load
Click on the 'load' button to load a 3D LUT from your computer.
Save As
Click on the 'save as' button to save a loaded 3D LUT to a folder on your computer. After you
generate a calibration 3D LUT, it is important to save it your computer.
What is a 3D LUT?
A 3D LUT, or '3D Lookup Table', is a file containing table of values that are used to
modify the video colorspace to a new set of RGB values in a 3D cube space.
The color cube contains all the variations between the mix of each primary color,
defined within three x, y, z spatial dimensions. This means the RGB channels in the SDI
input video can be remapped to any other RGB output color in the HDMI video output.
This is very powerful as it means any color can be mapped to any other color so you
can perform very precise color adjustments for calibrating displays, or loading log
gamma curves for display when working with different types of raw camera files on
set where you want to see linear gamma.
To show how powerful 3D LUTs can be, one of the default LUTs loaded can convert
your input video to black and white. This shows that all the input RGB colors are
remapped via the 3D LUT to black and white RGB output values via the HDMI output.
You can create your own 3D LUTs and upload them via the admin software and
DaVinci Resolve even allows you to convert a color grade setting to a 3D LUT that you
can then upload to your Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 8K. The 3D LUT on the HDMI output
is optional, and the SDI video loop output is a clean feed.
For more information on how to create a 3D LUT .cube file, refer to the DaVinci Resolve
manual which you can download from the Blackmagic Design website at

Scopes Menu
Configure Scope Overlays
Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 8K can show up to two scopes as overlays on the footage on the
HDMI outputs. In the 'scopes' menu, select the 'use large scope' option to make a scope
occupy 1/16 of the screen area, or deselect the option to set the scope size to 1/64 of
the screen.
