When the AutoCal 3D LUT calibration completes, CalMAN automatically writes the optimized
17x17x17 LUT calibration file to the previously selected location. You are done creating a display
calibration 3D LUT for the AJA LUT-box. You can now skip to the Loading a 3D LUT file to the AJA
LUT-box
section below to load the LUT into the LUT-box.

5. Display Validation section

After you have loaded the new 3D LUT into the AJA LUT-box, you can return to this Display
Validation
section of the Color Cube workflow to test the performance of the display, to validate the
accuracy of the display when using the 3D calibration LUT. You can switch back to the
Test/Document Display page to compare to the pre-calibration performance.

To load the CalMAN 3D LUT file into an AJA LUT-box:

1. Install the AJA MiniConfig software on your Mac or PC.
2. Connect the LUT-box to the PC or Mac via the supplied USB cable. Connect the external power
