In September, 2011, at CEDIA, I purchased the first eeColor Box from SpectraCal. I believe that 3D LUT formulation and implementation will also be be available in the upcoming CalMAN v5 Commercial and possibly Expert modes but needs to be confirmed upon release. From reading their announcements I am skeptical that the software covers enough color points but the final result vs comparisons remains to be seen. SpectraCal is touting and is soon to release Studio software which will “automatically” produce 3D LUTs for individual displays. Here is what I know and hopefully this device will eventually become mainstream and/or force prices down on other processors like the Davio: There are two companies, SpectraCal and Light Illusion that I am most interested in at this time. THX is doing it’s own work on the topic but so far nothing exists that can be passed down to us, the CE calibrators. My gut feeling is that 3D LUT technology will soon become part of the work we will all be doing. 3D Look Up Tables have the ability to smooth out most of the faults, and to that end I’ve been dedicating a lot of time to the subject. I truly enjoy 1D LUT calibrating of displays but as we all have seen there are many faults inside the Rec.709 gamut. All I want is to be able to take a consumer TV or projector and make picture fidelity the best it can be. As a THXer it is not my goal to be a traveling calibrator nor put food on the table via my certification and abilities.
