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, Multibridge Eclipse, Multibridge Pro (October 2007 model),
HDLink Pro 3D, HDLink Pro DVI, HDLink Pro DisplayPort and HDLink Optical Fiber.
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, Multibridge Eclipse, Multibridge Pro (October 2007
model), Multibridge Extreme (DVI output), HDLink Pro 3D, HDLink Pro DVI, HDLink Pro DisplayPort,
HDLink Optical Fiber and DeckLink HD Pro 4:4:4 (PCI-X).
