My request is that vMix adds support for LUTS.

Below is a brief description of my church's current live setup.

HD Camera > Atomos Samurai Blade > Blackmagic Design ATEM 1/ME 4K > vMix HD

This year we'll be upgrading our camera's (and accessories) and I want to be able to apply a (e.g. REC 709) LUT in vMix to the Log footage that is coming from the Camera/ATEM.

I know I can apply LUTs inside external recorders (Atomos Shogun etc) and then send that signal out to the ATEM for example but I think it would be useful to be able to apply the LUT inside vMix.

Hi

AJA Corvid 88 capture board supports LUT 1D for 8 inputs.

Luts color correction being highly CPU intensive, I guess it's a better idea if the signal is treated by hardware before vMix.

I agree vMix now deserves a better color correction feature for multicam. I suggested another option using X-Rite:

I'm slightly confused by this, a LUT is something that's normally applied to a flat image in post to allow for a greater dynamic range.

It's not something I'd consider using in a live environment or am I missing something?

Hi,

If more advanced colour correction in vMix is what users are really looking for then that is something we are definitely looking into!
However, I am not sure LUTs are the right tool for live colour correction, simply because of how specific they are to the source video used to create them.

For example, consider the following colour correction workflow using LUTs:

1. Calibrate camera and capture a still frame or short piece of footage.
2. Import this into a program such as Resolve or Photoshop and apply any adjustments required.
3. Export a LUT representing these adjustments
4. Import this LUT into vMix and apply to camera input
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each camera

As the above demonstrates a LUT can be considered a preset containing all the adjustments you want to apply to a image.
That means there is not going to be a special kind of "Colour Correction" LUT that can be applied to different cameras to make them all match as it doesn't work that way.
You will still need to go through each camera and colour correct them by hand every time your lighting setup or camera settings change.

Therefore, how about if we look at adding more colour adjustment options into vMix instead?

There are still situations where LUTs might be handy such as LOG to REC, or "creative" LUTs such as sepia tone and the like, but if colour correction is really what
users are after, I think we can do much better focusing our time and energy on those features instead.

Here's a few LUT boxes on Ebay, unfortunately this listing only posts to Australia and no 20w power supply.
According to the manual it will insert a 3D lut and has sdi out. I don't know what the delay is yet. Another use will be to process an in set monitor / projector feed to inversely offset tungsten lighting. It also has a 6 channel de-embedder.
