ColorBox from AJA is a high performance color management device specifically designed to meet the color conversion and color correction needs of broadcast, live events, and on-set applications. Supporting HDR, SDR, and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) signals, it utilizes 12G-SDI for single wire 4K/UltraHD up to 4:2:2 10-bit 60p or 4:4:4 12-bit 30p, with a unique color processing pipeline, and down-conversion. The ColorBox’s ultra-low latency, less than ½ of a video line, makes it ideal for color managed workflows for live productions. Built around a 33-point 3D LUT processor with tetrahedral interpolation, the AJA Color Pipeline provides additional 4x 1D LUTs and 2x 3x3 matrices that are each individually configurable or can be converted to Proc Amps or RGB Color Correctors. All of the color processing options can be easily managed via the web user interface, which can be accessed directly from a wired Ethernet connection. ColorBox also includes processing pipelines from Colorfront, NBCU LUTs, and ACES. Additionally, ColorBox offers licensable upgrade options for advanced color managed workflows, including the Colorfront Engine, BBC HLG LUTs, and ORION-CONVERT. ORION-CONVERT’s unique real time floating point math approach to color transformations produces higher precision results to get “access to the colors between the colors.” This enables pixel perfect color transforms and round-tripping where maintaining color fidelity is paramount. The ACES Pipeline includes support for ACES Metadata File (AMF). Internal AMF processing is built on the OpenColorIO (OCIO) from the Academy Software Foundation and supports configurable input and output transforms. ColorBox is an officially ACES logoed device ensuring end-to-end ACES compliance. ColorBox can overlay information onto the image, including helpful user definable text fields, user loaded images such as graphic elements and frame lines, and more. ColorBox also offers a sophisticated 4K test pattern generator and frame store, bringing valuable tools to your workflow, including capturing up to a 4K image as a 16-bit .tiff file for the highest quality reference stills. These captures can be saved locally on ColorBox or onto third party connected computers, which can simultaneously be running applications like Pomfort’s Livegrade Pro/Studio, Assimilate Live Looks, and QTAKE Video Assist software.

The CyanView RiO (Remote IO) allows users to remotely control compatible cameras through an Ethernet Internet connection or by using a 4G/LTE modem. RiO can also be configured as a normal CI0 camera interface on local networks. Assuming that the LAN has latency, the RiO working mode is configurable on LAN to get any camera protocol to work on any latency. With the built-in camera control protocols, the camera connection remains stable regardless of the conditions of the Wi-Fi network and latency. Once the Internet connection is established, the RCP and RiO are connected. In addition, it is plug and play, thanks to the Cloud Relay. When connected through cell data, some linking video systems provide IP tunnels or Internet access points that can be used to link PCR and RO. It is also possible to add a 4G USB dongle to gain access to the Internet independently.
