CalMAN takes advantage of the internal 3D LUT feature of the Atomos Shogun Inferno, Shogun Flame, Shogun Studio, Ninja Flame, and Ninja Assassin monitors to calibrate the monitor with a 33x33x33 16-bit 3D cube lookup table (LUT). Atomos monitors support 3D LUTs in the industry-standard .cube format and provide multiple LUT memory slots. The Atomos monitors provide an internal test pattern generator that can be controlled by CalMAN. Show CalMAN automatically creates an optimized monitor calibration 3D LUT and saves it to a computer file in a user-selected location. The LUT file can then be manually loaded into the Atomos monitor. This setup guide assists you in calibrating an Atomos monitor with the CalMAN Color Cube workflow. CalMAN Required Software

CalMAN 3D LUT Monitor Calibration Follow this procedure to create an optimized software 3D LUT calibration file, ready to be loaded into an Atomos monitor. Color Cube (3D LUT) WorkflowThe Color Cube workflow in CalMAN is used to create monitor calibration 3D cube LUTs. In the CalMAN main menu, select Open Workflow Template / Color Cube (3D LUT). Proceed through each step of the Color Cube workflow in a normal fashion, using the following notes for Atomos monitor specifics. Initial Setup sectionIn the Initial Setup section of the Color Cube workflow, step through the following pages: Session Setup - Meter Connect
Session Setup - Source Connect
Session Setup - LUT Device Setup
Display Pre-Test sectionYou can measure the performance of an Atomos monitor before you calibrate it, on the pre-test Gamma & ColorChecker page. If the Performance Analysis page then indicates any red pass/fail lights for the monitor’s native performance, you can proceed to the Display Optimization section of the workflow to optimize the monitor’s internal picture controls before performing the 3D LUT calibration. A few minutes spent optimizing the monitor’s native performance typically yields a more accurate 3D LUT calibration. The degree of improvement depends greatly on the individual monitor. If you skip display optimization at this time and the final calibration validation indicates less than the desired improvement, you can easily return to the Display Optimization section to optimize the internal display controls and then repeat the 3D LUT calibration by clicking the Optimize Display button on the final calibration validation page. On the Performance Analysis page:
Display Optimization sectionTo optimize the monitor’s internal picture controls before creating a 3D calibration LUT, advance through the control adjustment pages in the Display Optimization section of the workflow. Display Calibration sectionIn the Display Calibration section of the Color Cube workflow, there are provisions for calibrating both a 1D RGB LUT (1D Ramp LUT page) and a 3D cube LUT (3D Cube LUT page). When we are calibrating a Atomos monitor with a 3D LUT, we will skip the 1D Ramp LUT page (1D RGB LUT) and use only the 3D Cube LUT page. 1D Ramp LUT page Skip over this page when creating a 3D LUT file for an Atomos monitor, as the Atomos monitor does not support a correction 1D LUT. 3D Cube LUT page
Upon completion of the AutoCal 3D software LUT calibration process, CalMAN automatically writes the optimized LUT calibration data into an Atomos format .cube file in the selected drive location. Atomos Monitor LUT Load When CalMAN completes its automatic 3D LUT calibration, the created software 3D LUT file is ready to be loaded into the Atomos monitor. To load the software 3D LUT calibration file into your Atomos monitor: What is in the box atomos Shinobi?Your Shinobi includes base accessories to get you started, such as a mains power supply. Additionally you will need a compatible HDMI cable (Camera out/Shinobi in) and compatible batteries. Optional AtomX accessories including power and accessory kits and are also available.
How do I turn on atomos Shinobi?To turn the Shinobi on, press the power button on the side of the unit. To shut down, hold the button for at least 4 seconds (until unit turns off). The Shinobi screen can be calibrated using the X-Rite i1Display Pro.
