  • Lut to convert XYZ to RGB with DCI-primaries

    Posted by Knut Jansohn on January 24, 2012 at 10:00 pm

    Hi,

    I would like to preview XYZ on a Monitor, which is calibrated to DCI color-gamut (Red: 0.680x, 0.320y, Green: 0.265 x, 0.690 y, Blue: 0.150 x, 0.060 y), white: 0.314 x, 0.351y and gamma 2.6.
    So I think I need a 3d-lut to convert.
    I have seen that ‘Light Illusion’ offers luts for 100 GBP.
    Any idea where to get it more favorable?

    Thanks & Regards

    Knut

    I’m not sure you could beat a deal like that. £ 100 for a LUT that you potentially can earn back in no time doing grading is not a steep price if you ask me.

    The alternative is to buy the software and make it yourself.

    Well, would be grart to heare, how to earn 100 GBP (=120 €)in no time 🙂

    I assumed that this is a very common lut, so that it would be a 5 min copy&paste job for them.
    And I’am far far away from earning 120€ in 5 min 🙂

    Anyway if there is no better deal I will order…

    Hmm, no further reply.

    So all you fsi- and dreamcolor-user have purchased at ‘Light Illusion’?
    Or are you not interrested in checking the XYZ-results – maybe I miss something??

    i don’t see why you want to check the XYZ on a “non XYZ” display …

    [Gabriele Turchi] “i don’t see why you want to check the XYZ on a “non XYZ” display …”

    For XYZ are virtual primaries, there is no XYZ-display existing.
    So if you want to view XYZ-coded colors you have to convert to real primaries.
    Depending on the ‘wideness’ of the real colorspace you will see a part of the XYZ-coded colors.
    After grading in 709 I have converted a short to XYZ for DCI.
    But as there is a gamma 2.6 and other whitepoint and lower lightness. I would like to get an idea how it will look in dci.
    This should be possible with a monitor that meets dci-specification.

    Regards

    so you are saying that you have graded for 709 ,
    than converted to XYZ (with a lut i guess ) , now you want to watch that on the same display (but setting the display to P3 color space) and you need a XYZ to 709 Lut ..

    so what is the point of converting 709 to XYZ if you have than to convert it again to watch it ?

    i actually thought that DCP compliant projector could accept XYZ directly …

    Thanks a lot. I will have a look at it.

    [Gabriele Turchi] “converted to XYZ (with a lut i guess )”

    Yes.

    Graded on a Broadcastmonitor, after finishing the client asked me to build a version for DCI.
    To check the results of the conversion-lut I would like to preview it on an other monitor in p3.
    Due to the different whitepoint and an lower brightness I suppose that there is perhaps more required than a mathematical conversion.

    [Gabriele Turchi] “thought that DCP compliant projector could accept XYZ directly”
    But then it first convert internally to its own real primaries
