How to make a LUT
Updated onArticleAll Monitors – SmallHD – Technical – Conversion LUTs
PROBLEM
Is there a way to get the LUTs pre-installed on my SmallHD Focus monitor from the monitor to my computer? In particular the one converting the slog-3 to a rec 709. Any chance I can get that one?
SOLUTION
Unfortunately that internal conversion is not made with a LUT. We recommend this free pack of utility/conversion LUTs, though, which includes S-Log3 to Rec 709:
