I'm looking on the site. But does BMD have a box that is like AJA LUT Box or FSI LUT I/O?

The new 6G mini converters have 33pt 3D LUT storage and can also apply it to the SDI loop out.

Thanks! I will check it out.

I'm looking and don't see the LUT info? I'm I missing something?

Look at the section about LUT support here. Note that only the 6G *branded* converters do this, not the older 4K models featuring 6G SDI

Hi, can we able to use it to store a calibrated LUT for the projector which is connected via this? Or does it recognized by the calibration software to load the LUT file once the calibration process done. If I asked a wrong question kindly ignore it. Thank you.

You have to make or download a compatible LUT file, and load it into the converter. It doesn't act as a calibrator or LUT file creator. But if you have a calibrator that makes the LUT, then load it into the converter, it should work to apply that calibrated setting to the video.

I think i covered your question.

The Mini-Teranex HD-SDI -> HDMI converters will hold a 33-point 3D LUT.

Please, confirm this:
I have a Decklink Mini Monitor 4K directly connected to my Panasonic OLED via HDMI. Now, in order to have a LUT Box, I should buy a Mini Converter SDI-to-HDMI to be connected to my Decklink via SDI, and to my OLED via HDMI. In this way I can upload a LUT directly into the Mini Converter and be happy.
Is that all right?

If yes, two more questions:
1. Any recommendation about the SDI cable?
2. Is there a realistic performance improvements in using a LUT Box instead leaving Davinci handling the LUT?

Many thanks

The Blackmagic Design Micro Converter Bi-Directional SDI to HDMI 12Gis the best solution.

It has one slot for a 33-Point 3D LUT upload.

You can use the HDMI in-out for RGB-FULL 10-bit up to 2160p30 or YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit up to 2160p60.

SDI cable is not required as it can apply the LUT from HDMI in -> HDMI out.

Thanks for your reply. Silly question: what does the “wPSU” version do? I can't understand the difference between the 2 versions. Which one should I buy?

With power supply unit, the cheaper version is sans psu.

Good Luck

Yes, of course but why one needs power and the other doesn't? What can PSU version do more than the non-PSU version?

Nothing, it just comes with a power supply.

OK, I'm officially stupid (I know: it's a well-known fact) so, please, don't take it badly, guys, but you are basically saying that Blackmagic sells two identical devices, one equipped with a completely useless PSU (added for obscure psychological reasons) available just in the case you want to support Blackmagic with 10$ more...???
C'mon... There must be a reason why the company sells that product in two versions.
So - sorry if I insist - but I'd like to know: in which situation should I prefer the PSU-version over the non-PSU-version?
Thanks for your patience.

Because you don't have an available USB-C power supply, or anywhere to plug in a USB cable, I suppose.
