HDLink Pro 3D lut format

[Kristian Lam]

Hi Martin,

The current LUT formatwe support are Discreet’s 3dl and Iridas CUBE (.itx).

We don’t support cinecube as yet but we can look into it.

Hi,

I also just received an HDLink Pro. I’m trying to import .3dl and .itx cubes, but the HDLink utility won’t recognize them. I changed the extensions, but then when I load it blacks out the output. I opened them in a text editor, and it appears the format used to create LUTs in the HDLink utility is different than the .3dl and .itx. Is there a conversion program or other trick necessary to make them work?

Thanks,

Hi Andrew,

Could you let us download the LUTS you’re using?

The LUTS created by the HDLink is not .3dl or .itx so it will look different. HDLink Pro currently only imports 3dl/itx but will not save the LUT in that format.

Kristian,

I’ve temporarily posted the Autodesk and Iridas LUTs at:

https://andrewdp.com/autodesk-iridas.zip

Please let me know once you’ve fetched it.

The HDLink utility won’t recognize the .itx file. It sees the .3dl, but when I open that I get “Could not read lookup table file. The selected file was not in the expected format.” I am opening it via the “Load Table” button. This is using version 2.5, and it does recognize it’s a 3D box as I get the other 3D output curves.

Thanks,

I’m having problems with 3dlut import as well. From discreets format. The popup infor on the import tab says the file should have 1024 records, discreet 3dlut has 4015 (or there abouts). Anyhow, one of main reason for getting this box (hdlink pro) was for support of 3dlut import. How do I get my .3dl formated lut into the hdlink pro.

I too am having difficult importing 3d luts. I’m trying discreets .3dl format no luck

The Digital Praxis 3D Cube Builder will generate 3D LUTs (Cubes) to work with the HDLink Pro box.

Soem example Cubes can be downloaded for free from the Digital Praxis webiste.

Hi, Kristian.

Maybe it is properly idea to publish right LUT formats on blackmagic-design site?

After all, no strangers here – just write us link to one correct 3D LUT – and there will no more stupid questions.
