Software LUT File
CalMAN 3D LUT Monitor Calibration
Follow this procedure to create an optimized software 3D LUT calibration file, ready to be manually
loaded into an FSI CFE monitor:
1. In CalMAN, load the "Color Cube (3D LUT)" workflow.
2. Proceed through each step of the workflow in the normal fashion, using the following notes for
FSI-specific actions on the indicated workflow pages.
3. On the CalMAN Session Setup page, click the Find 3D LUT Device button, then select "SpectraCal
- Cube Generator (3D LUT).”
4. While on the CalMAN Display Presets page (under Display Optimization),
a. In the FSI monitor’s Display Alignment/Color Management menu, set LUT Bypass to 3D
LUT, placing the monitor to Wide Gamut, bypassing the factory LUTs.
b. For an OLED monitor:
 In the FSI Color Management menu, set Flicker Free Mode to OFF. Also set Color
Matching Function (CMF) to CIE 1931. When calibration is complete, you can
switch to Judd Modified, if you prefer to operate with a Judd modified CMF-
based calibration.
 In the CalMAN Settings menu, if you select ITU BT.1886 as the Gamma Formula,
set a Black Level Target of 0.005 fL or 0.017 cd/m 2 (under Workflow Advanced
Options).
If you select the Gamma Formula as Power, with an exponent of 2.2 to 2.4, set a
Black Level Target of 0.0.
5. Skip the CalMAN RGB Adjust page (The FSI Gain and Bias controls should be left at their default
settings at 50).
6. Skip the CalMAN 1D Ramp LUT page (a 1D LUT does not need to be created for the FSI).
7. On the CalMAN 3D Cube LUT page, click the AutoCal action button in the lower right.
8. On the AutoCal Setup popup dialog (shown below), under File Format:
a. For CFE monitors, select “Flanders Scientific (.dat)” (creates an FSI 64x64x64 10-bit 3D
LUT format file).
b. For CFE2 monitors, if you are not already using the DIT LUT for a creative or look LUT,
select “Flanders Scientific (.dat)” (creates an FSI 64x64x64 10-bit 3D LUT format file). If
you are already using the DIT LUT, select “Flanders Scientific (.cfe)” (creates an FSI
17x17x17 10-bit 3D LUT format file).
