Figure 13. 3D LUT GUI

LUT Initialization File
You can initialize each buffer of the LUT from reset by providing a compatible 3D LUT file to Init file in the GUI. The IP generation process converts the LUT file into RAM initialization .hex files that get built into the firmware during compilation. The script can read .cube format files, or any 3D LUT files that follow these conventions:
- RGB component order (must match the video stream’s order)
- Components change first from left to right, i.e. R first, G second, B third
- If you turn on alpha, you append the alpha value as a fourth component (RGBA)
- The data type must match the IP GUI parameter and may either be:
- normalized fixed- or floating-point numbers between 0.0 to 1.0
- integers between 0 and 2LUT_DEPTH-1 (e.g. 10-bit: 0 to 1023)
- The data type must be the same for the whole file
- Lines starting with # or any letter are ignored
