ColorBox Pipelines
The lower area of the screen has a signal flow diagram of the currently selected
color processing pipeline. ColorBox comes with a range of pipelines to choose
from.
• AJA Color Pipeline (ACP)
• Colorfront Pipeline
• ORION-CONVERT Pipeline
• BBC HLG LUTs Pipeline
• NBCU LUTs Pipeline
Some pipelines are designed specifically for live broadcast or live event needs.
Others, like the AJA Color Pipeline (ACP), offer great flexibility for more control
over each step of a transform for any application.
Pipelines like BBC HLG LUTs or ORION-CONVERT will display a watermark over
the image until a license is applied offering you the ability to evaluate the color
science prior to purchasing the optional license. Only one processing pipeline can
be displayed and made active at a time. Tabs at the top allow selection of one of
the available pipeline modes.
NOTE: It is assumed only one pipeline mode will be used at a time. Switching
betweenColorBox pipeline modes during actual production is discouraged.
