Importing and exporting 3D LUT’s
DeckLink HD Extreme 2 supports the popular Autodesk .3dl, IRIDAS .itx and IRIDAS .cube lookup
table formats when importing 3D LUT’s.
3D LUT’s can also be exported from DeckLink in the .cube format. DeckLink uses the .cube format
to store 3D LUT’s internally as this is a most memory efficient way to store complex lookup tables.
Both 3D LUT’s created with curves in the lookup table interface, and 3D LUT’s imported from .3dl,
.itx and .cube files, are exported from DeckLink in the .cube format.
The .cube file format is fully compatible with the following Blackmagic Design products which
share the same LUT format: DeckLink HD Extreme 2, DeckLink Eclipse, DeckLink Pro (October
2007 model) and HDLink Pro.
Importing and exporting 1D LUT’s
DeckLink HD Extreme 2 can import 1D LUT’s. The 1D file format is any tab-delimited text file with
red, green and blue values for each record and the first line (title line) is skipped. Lookup tables
need to be 1024 records long with the first line reserved for the title line.
1D LUT’s can also be exported from DeckLink HD Extreme 2 in the same text format mentioned
above. Both 1D LUT’s created with the curves in the lookup table interface, and 1D LUT’s imported
from text files, are exported from DeckLink in the same text format.
The 1D LUT text file format is fully compatible with the following Blackmagic Design products
which share the same LUT format: DeckLink HD Extreme 2, DeckLink Eclipse, DeckLink
Pro (October 2007 model), DeckLink Extreme (DVI output), HDLink Pro, HDLink and
DeckLink HD Pro 4:4:4 (PCI-X).
