The Alexa XTand Alexa Classic with the XR recording module both have the ability to read ASC CDL (Color Decision List) LUT settings as they record.

This means that, over Ethernet, the camera can take in a Look and store it in the Raw footage as metadata. This is done by enabling a CDL server on the camera and then sending in CDLs with different software programs. This CDL can then be applied to the Raw footage through post or when downloading with the Codex UI. Watch the video above to see how I use this great option with Pomfort's LiveGrade software and the Codex Raw workflow.

Recently, I wrote an article for ProductionHub's new 4KHUB discussing my experience with the Producers Guild of America and how they wanted to understand the deeper implications of a 4K workflow. To make things clearer, I touched on data space requirements, recording simultaneously in 4K and HD, LUTs, external recorders, and more.

Pomfort has put together a new tutorial on how to use their LiveGrade software in conjunction with DaVinci Resolve to create dailies. LiveGrade can be used with hardware like the BlackMagic HD Link Pro to create LUTs live. I outlined how to apply different LUTs in a previous blog, but Pomfort has put together a very simple way to work with ASC-CDL (Color Decision List) files in DaVinci Resolve.
