Real-time AV processor.

What it is

• A simple HDMI in, HDMI out box (fanless).
• HDCP compliant.
• Real-time AV processor — works with any HDMI source, single-frame end-to-end latency, no buffering, no re-encoding.

What it does

• Tone mapping — our own algorithm with libplacebo alternative, selectable.
• Aspect Detection — detect black bars within frame on any source, to apply shifting / scaling automatically.
• Scaling — anamorphic at any ratio, linear, NLS (non-linear).
• Shifting — by pixel or percentage; any anchor (top/bottom × left/right) and combinations.
• Projector stacking — master + slave (two devices required), alignment plus image / tone-map division.
• Subtitle management — OCR reads subtitles burned into letterbox bars and surfaces them over the visible image.
• 3D LUT — 2³ to 65³ files, with support for multiple LUTs loaded based on frame ADL level (interpolation inbetween).
• Keystone correction — 8-point, barrel + pincushion, general alignment, sub-pixel precision.
• Chromatic aberration correction — up to 33×33 vertices, sub-pixel adjustments, auto-derived from your phone camera.
• Chroma upsampling.
• Home theater automation — auto-switch profiles per source, drive projectors / lights / masking / AV gear, IFTTT-style rules, webhooks, third-party device control over IP.

What it supports

Input

• LLDV up to 4K @ 60 fps, 12-bit 4:2:2 — 17.82 Gb/s.
• HDR up to 4K @ 60 fps, 10-bit 4:2:2 — 14.85 Gb/s.
• SDR up to 4K @ 60 fps, 8-bit 4:4:4 — 17.82 Gb/s.

Output

• Up to 4K @ 120 fps, 10-bit 4:4:4 over FRL (HDMI 2.1) — optional frame doubling for 60 fps sources, quintupling for 24 fps.
• 12-bit 4:2:2 LLDV.
• HDR / SDR — BT.709 or BT.2020, configurable.

How it's controlled

• Web interface at luma.local — Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
• Mobile app — iOS and Android.
• API — open and documented.

On the roadmap

• Streaming from NAS or local storage.
• Dolby Vision support (subject to license).

When can I get it?

Initial prototype hardware and software is already running end-to-end. Production hardware spin is underway. Full timeline announced once the final BOM is settled.

How much will it cost?

Priced for enthusiasts, not corporate AV budgets. Pre-orders will be less than $499. Specific pricing alongside the timeline.
