Camera LUT

The Camera LUT (Look-up Tables) feature harmonizes the Kino Flo light sources to the camera. Depending on the camera and the Kelvin setting, some differences are very subtle, while others can be more dramatic.
The corrections are applied as a CIE xy correction at each CCT (Kelvin) setting. The default setting is targeting the CIE xyz response (human eye).
Press the green menu button to the left of the display screen and scroll down to Camera LUT, then press the control knob. Menu with camera selection will be displayed. Turn the control knob and press to select camera setting:

  • C1 Arri Alexa
  • C2 Sony Venice
  • C3 Panavision DXL
  • C4 Panasonic Varicam
    The camera code (C1 for Arri Alexa), for example, will appear on the main menu between DIM and CCT to designate that a camera setting is active.
    Note: When the controller is reset, the camera settings will go to Kino Flo Default mode

Color Space

  • Color Space defines the RGB color space used and only affects color – not Kelvin. It is used in RGB mode and Hue Angle and Saturation. There are a few instances in the FX (Effects) mode that are also affected when color is used. The RGB color space defines the value of Red, Green, and Blue primaries (in CIE xy) and the white point is fixed at 6500 Kelvin.
  • Press the green menu button to the left of the display screen and scroll down to Color Space, then press the control knob. Menu with color selection will be displayed. Turn the control knob and press to select Color Space options:
    • rec 709 / sRGB
    • P3 D65
    • rec 2020
  • The color space rec 709 / sRGB is commonly used on computer monitors, SDTV and HDTV television. There are slight gamma variations between rec 709 / sRGB, but not enough to separate into 2 color spaces.
  • The color space P3 D65 is a common color space for digital movie projection.
  • The color space rec 2020 is used in ultra high definition television (UHDTV).
  • The color space is used when the controller is set to the RGB mode and when set to the Hue Angle/ Saturation mode.
  • In RGB mode – the color space designation will be displayed at the top of the menu. When changing the Red, Blue or Green values, the Kelvin will be locked in at 6500 for all color spaces. When the Kelvin is locked in, CCT will be displayed as CCT*. When using Green/Magenta the CCT value is unlocked and color space selection has no impact.
  • In Hue Angle/Saturation mode – the color space designation will be displayed on the Gel line and GEL will be displayed as GEL and CCT will be displayed as CCT. The Color space will be displayed only when Hue Angle and Saturation are being used. When using Green/Magenta or Gel, the CCT will be unlocked and color space selection has no impact
