Appendix 1: 3D LUT of Loading Manual
BM-4KS supports 3DLUT to load the color calibration document and the User Log by using a flash disk.
1. Format Requirement:
- LUT format: .cube
- 3D Size: 17x17x17
- Data Order: RGB
- Table Order: RGB
- USB flash disk version:
- USB: 2.0
- System: FAT32
- Size: <16G
- Color calibration document: Rec709.cube
- User Log: User1 ~User3.cube
2. LUT Format Conversion
The format of LUT should be transformed if it doesn't meet Lilliput's requirement. It can be transformed by using Lut Converter (V1.3.30).
2-1. Activate Lut Converter
One individual Product ID is required for one computer. Please send the ID number to Lilliput to get an Enter Key. The computer gets the permission of Lilliput Lut Converter after inputting the Enter Key.
2-2. Enter the Lut Converter interface after input the Enter Key
[Textual description of the Lut Converter interface, including input fields for file name, type, data order, 3D size, table order, and output file settings.]
2-3. Click Input File, then select *.LUT
[Textual description of selecting the input file in the Lut Converter.]
2-4. Click Output File, and then select the file name as required format.
Such as: Rec709.cube, 3D Size: 17, Data Order: RGB, Table Order: RGB.
Please note: The format which shown in Red Box above should be selected to RGB.
2-5. Click Generate Lut button to finish the transform.
3. USB Loading
- The USB flash disk must be formatted before using to ensure there are no other files in the root directory.
- Copy needed files to the root directory of the USB flash drive. The system only supports updating one LUT table at a time. If more LUT tables need to be updated, please delete other files in the USB flash disk and repeat the steps.
- Power on the device, insert the corresponding video signal into any video signal interface, and switch the signal to the corresponding channel to ensure the device displays normally. (It is not suggested to update the LUT table when there is no input signal, as the device will enter power saving mode.)
- Insert the flash disk into the USB interface on the device and wait for about 5 seconds. A prompt box "Load [Filename].cube" will appear after detecting the flash disk. Operate using "MENU", "[Nav Left]", "[Nav Right]", "EXIT" buttons on the front of the device. Click "YES" to load, or "NO" or "EXIT" to exit.
- The device displays a black screen after confirmed loading and will update the corresponding LUT table backstage according to the name of the updated LUT. The device will restart automatically after completion. The whole updating process takes about 6 seconds.
- Please activate and set up the updated LUT table under the menu after restart. It does not need to be reset if the current updated LUT has been selected before updating.
Please note that it only calibrates the color for Rec709 mode and uploads it to the device in the factory. User1~User3 may be grayed out and disabled in the menu. After loading the user LUT table, the corresponding button will be shown as blue and usable, as shown in the following figure.
