Setting up Colorlight processor

This article covers features that require activation via a module license.

Livegrade comes with support for remote control of Colorlight processors.

This feature allows users to adjust the LUT within the Colorlight processor via Livegrade, affecting how images are processed on the LED wall. Livegrade can connect to and control multiple Colorlight processors, provided they are accessible via a network connection—whether over LAN or Wi-Fi—depending on the setup.

Prerequisites#

To exchange LUT information with Livegrade, the Colorlight processor must be connected to the same network as the Mac running Livegrade.

Once a connection is established, you can launch Livegrade and add the Brompton processor as a device to an input slot using the slot manager.

• via the menu: Livegrade > [Slot Manager…]

In the slot manager, click on the input you want to add the device to.
