Portrait Displays Welcomes AJA’s ColorBox to the Calman Ready Program with a Custom Calman® Workflow

Pleasanton, CA — Portrait Displays, a global leader in color calibration solutions, is excited to announce the integration of the AJA ColorBox into the Calman Ready Program. This collaboration brings advanced functionality to users by seamlessly incorporating AJA ColorBox into Calman calibration software and offering a custom workflow designed to elevate calibration efficiency and improve ease of use.

AJA’s ColorBox is a high-performance color management device designed to meet the color conversion and color correction needs of broadcast, live events, and on-set applications. With a direct connection in Calman, users can now achieve superior color accuracy in a fraction of the time required by traditional calibration methods.

The robust integration leverages AJA’s internal 12-bit pattern generator, transforming the ColorBox into both a high-performance LUT processor and one of the most versatile test pattern sources available. Calman users can now create, store, and set the startup preset– all from within Calman. This streamlines the calibration process, making it more intuitive than ever before.

Calman’s new workflow enables users to generate calibration LUTs in both Full and Narrow ranges, all while ensuring seamless interaction with ColorBox’s built-in scaling, delivering consistent and accurate results across multiple formats. 

“Integrating AJA’s ColorBox into the Calman Ready Program is a significant milestone,” said David Abrams, Senior Product Manager at Portrait Displays. “The advanced architecture of ColorBox allows us to deliver the power of Calman’s 1D and 3D LUT capabilities to a wider range of users. The combined precision and flexibility of Calman and ColorBox, paired with our custom workflow, provide a powerful toolset for cinematographers and colorists to achieve outstanding results without added complexity.”

Calman manages all of the ColorBox’s ten presets and also auto-generates preset names based on target standards to streamline consistent calibration across multiple devices and formats.

“Our collaboration with Portrait Displays leverages the full potential of ColorBox’s hardware and API, enabling dynamic control of our frame store, generating precise test patches, and LUT processing,” added Tim Walker, Senior Product Manager at AJA. “Calman’s ability to measure, calculate, store and recall LUTs directly on the ColorBox creates an efficient, seamless process, from calibration to preset management. This integration utilizes ColorBox’s advanced features to deliver optimal color accuracy,” added Tim Walker, Senior Product Manager at AJA.

The new Calman AJA ColorBox workflow guides users through the complete calibration process for both SDR and HDR workflows. Watch the tutorial below for a step-by-step Calman AJA ColorBox workflow walkthrough.
