Hi Paul,

I might have missed it but I didn't see LUTs for SLOG or any other gamma.

Does the PIX E5 support look up tables? I'm interested in SLOG-2 and SLOG-3

Cant wait to get my pre-order processed!

My PIX E5 shows it's shipping from B&H on Aug1 however, the SpeedDrive and hood have no info or even picture on their site. My order still says "7 to 14 days until shipping"

Thanks!

LUTs didn't make it into the first firmware release, but they are coming soon.

See here for pics of accessories:

That's sad to hear. Might need to hold off until this is ready. Are there any plans for a record LUT option like the Shogun has? That comes in handy for clients who I know will not do much for color correction.

Also, what is the triggering support like? I have a C100 Mark II, a GH4, and the A7R II. Will the Pix-E5 support record triggering and timecode from these cameras?

HI Gary,

What do you mean by a record LUT option? Ability to record the log signal un-processed or the ability to record it as REC 709?

HDMI triggers and timecode are coming. SDI triggers and timecode already supported.

The Shogun lets you load a .cube file into memory and then load it for viewing over your signal or actually recording the LUT burned in on the ProRes file. This can be handy for quick turnover of footage that you know won't actually be graded. This would really be handy for C300 Mark II shoots in which you can deliver color corrected ProRes files straight from the drive for the client (especially if they are still editing in a FCP classic environment) while having the XFAVC Clog2 files for demo reel material.

Hope this is added soon!

I have heard that the menu item for selecting the ProRes flavor lists ProRes LT and Proxy as being 8-bit. This is not correct. Every single version of ProRes is 10-bit except 444 and 444 XQ, which are 12-bit.

Saw that the Pix now accepts HDMI start/stop and timecode with the latest update. Unfortunately for GH4 users, it is only for Sony/Canon cameras.

Still no LUTs. Once viewable LUTs are made available, then it will be a consideration for purchase. Would definitely love to have the ability to burn LUTs into the footage as well.
