3D LUTs on Epic Red Dragon

[Matt Mulcahey]

I've seen quite a few threads on here regarding adding in-camera LUTs on Epic Dragons, but I wanted to check in with a new thread just to make sure I had the most up-to-date info.

My understanding is that - without a Redcast Module - I can't add 3D LUTs (or 1D LUTs for that matter) from third-party applications directly onto the camera. Meaning my .cube LUTs from Resolve aren't going on the Epic Dragon. So basically if I want to use a 3D LUT, I'm going to have it add it downstream.

My only choice for in-camera LUTs is to create a Look profile in RedCine-X.

Accurate?

Correct.

DSCM2 cameras have 3D LUT support however.

Epic Dragon doesn't come in the newer DSCM2 body build, though, does it?

It does, in the form of Weapon Dragon 6K S35.

Gotcha. Thanks for the replies Phil. Just to clarify - this question is specifically regarding a job I'm prepping for and we're using the Epic brain with Dragon sensor - so that's definitely going to be the first generation DSMC, correct? And therefore no 3D LUTs in camera.

 

[Phil Holland]

Correct. One nice solution to have on set is a monitor that will accept 3D LUTs.

We'll have a DP7 and a Teradek 2000 that I can use to monitor with our LUTs. I was just going to go out-of-camera if it was possible for simplicity's sake.
