Colorfront Pipeline

Colorfront’s new TV Mode and Live Mode are now available as a licensable option in ColorBox. TV Mode is an intuitive color processing engine aimed at broadcast workflows that contains the built-in SDR, HLG and PQ transforms. 
When licensed, it provides operators access to new Brightness, Highlight, Super Highlight, and Colorfulness tools that enable greater control over critical elements in color conversions. With them, get controlled corrections within the guardrails of Colorfront’s perceptual processing algorithm, which will maintain perceived color, hue, and saturation without hard clipping artifacts. TV Mode also includes Sony S-Log3 conversions as part of the license upgrade, which have proven advantageous in modern live production applications.  
The same license also enables Colorfront Live Mode, which includes several camera Log formats beyond SDR, HLG and PQ like the new ARRI LogC4.
