VICREO
ColorBox Control

One control panel for your network LUT boxes. Grade FSI BoxIO and AJA ColorBox hardware from a single window — wheels, color temperature, and broadcast reference conversions — and drive it all from Companion or your own scripts over a WebSocket API.

What it does

Colour control built for the control room

Everything you need to match cameras and hit your deliverable, without leaving the box's web UI open on a laptop in the rack.

Grading wheels

Lift, Gamma, Gain and Offset wheels with Temp, Tint and Saturation sliders. Double-click any control to snap it back to unity, and bypass the whole grade with one switch.

Primary Log Broadcast

Three stacked stages

Primary, Log and Broadcast tabs each write to their own pipeline stage, in signal order. Shape the log footage first, do your shading last — the grades stack instead of fighting each other.

Black / Flare Shadow / Mid / High

Reference conversions

Pick a source and an output and the box loads the published reference LUT for that path — no hunting for cube files on a USB stick minutes before doors.

Live preview

A corrected-output thumbnail straight from the BoxIO, with an adjustable refresh rate. Confirm you are on the right feed before you touch a wheel.

External control API

A JSON WebSocket server on port 4455 exposes every control to Bitfocus Companion, a control surface, or your own script. Every change is broadcast, so the app and all clients stay in sync.

Token auth Localhost or LAN

Every box in one window

Add all the boxes on the show network once and switch between them from the list. BoxIO channel and dual-mode setups are handled, and the log tab tells you what the device actually replied.

Hardware

Supported LUT boxes

FSI BoxIO

Full support

AJA ColorBox

In app

Controlled from the app through the device's own pipeline stages. AJA boxes are listed but not yet drivable over the external control API.

Licensing

One key activates one machine and can be moved from the license panel inside the app. Once activated it keeps working offline, so a show network without internet is no problem.
