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 Cy-RCP with Joystick (2 cameras) is a universal control panel compatible with any camera. This version incorporates a joystick and can control up to 2 cameras. IP-based, it's ideal for all types of production (even remote production) and features physical buttons, rather than a web interface. It has a slightly smaller form factor than ordinary remotes, but can be adjusted to fit the standard RCP size, leaving room for accessories such as a mini selection panel or mini joystick. To operate effectively, the system synchronizes touch (and countdown) between the Cy-RCP and the matrix: selecting a camera in the Cy-RCP also controls the matrix to switch the vision monitor, and selecting another camera in the matrix panel also changes the display on the camera. Specialized cameras generally lack video processing functionality in various ways, which means that often color correction equipment is added for post-processing and image synchronization. We've integrated these too. So, whatever is available in the camera head is controlled there, and whatever is missing (i.e. black balance, gamma) is done in the post-production phase by controlling the video corrector. The camera interface remains consistent from one camera to the next.
