LiveGrade Pro comes with support for AJA FS-HDR devices. LiveGrade Pro uses the “Dynamic 3D LUT” of AJA FS-HDR to apply a grade to the live signal via a network connection.
A list of all devices supported in LiveGrade Pro can be found in the Knowledge Base article All Supported Devices in LiveGrade Pro.
For general information about setting up LiveGrade with HD-SDI devices please refer to the article HD-SDI Setup for LiveGrade.
Adding the AJA FS-HDR as a Device
In order to receive look information from LiveGrade Pro, the AJA FS-HDR needs to have a working network connection with the Mac where LiveGrade Pro is running on. Once a correct connection is established, launch LiveGrade and you can proceed to add the AJA FS-HDR as a device. In order to do that, you can choose “Slots” in the main menu and then “Add Device”. Alternatively, you can add the device through the Device Manager.
After that, a configuration window opens:
By hitting “Refresh” you can search for compatible AJA FS-HDR devices connected to your network. All AJA FS-HDR devices found will show up in the table view. Select the intended device and click “Add Device” to add the box to the selected slot.
Working with the AJA FS-HDR device in LiveGrade Pro
In the main LiveGrade window, the AJA FS-HDR device is now displayed in the corresponding grading slot as a device.
After selecting the correct grading slot you will be able to adjust the look that is sent to the AJA FS-HDR device by modifying it in the Main Window of LiveGrade Pro.
Currently the FS-HDR’s “Dynamic 3D LUT” mode is available only in 4K mode, this means that the same 3D LUT will be applied to all four channels of the device. Please note that 4K/UHDR mode must be switched on to use the Dynamic 3D LUT.
Checking the Connection Status in the Device Manager
To learn more about the connection state of the AJA FS-HDR device, you can open the Device Manager by clicking on “Devices” above the Grading Slots view.
If connected properly the AJA FS-HDR will show up as a “Device” row in the Device Manager with a green indicator confirming a positive connection status. By clicking on “Config…” an info window opens where you can see all information available about the connection of LiveGrade Pro with your AJA FS-HDR device.
