AJA ColorBox Colorfront Pipeline License

ColorBox includes a free, basic Colorfront mode; this license opens up the rest of the Colorfront Engine. TV Mode is the broadcast-oriented pipeline with built-in SDR, HLG, PQ and Sony S-Log3 transforms, and once licensed it adds the Brightness, Highlight and Super Highlight roll-off controls, a Colorfulness control for the Hunt effect, a round-trip setting for technical matching, and Lift, Gamma, Gain, Exposure, Color Temp and Tint adjustments.

The same key enables Live Mode, which extends the transforms to camera log formats from Sony, ARRI (including LogC4), RED, Panasonic and Canon with HDR Log Look, SDR Softness, HDR Amount, Ambient Light Compensation and P3 Clamp controls, and the SDR to Dolby Vision Preview Mode, whose parameters match the SDR2DolbyVision node in Colorfront Transkoder with simplified highlight and contrast controls. The preview mode does not generate Dolby Vision metadata.
