Juan Melara BMPCC 6K to Alexa PowerGrade & LUTs (P6K2Alexa) is a professional camera matching system designed to match the color response of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K to the ARRI Alexa.

Developed through sensor profiling, P6K2Alexa uses a custom 3×3 color matrix to transform BMPCC 6K footage toward ARRI Alexa colors. The matrix was built from approximately 14,000 data points per camera, providing a technical approach to digital camera color matching.

The combined package includes editable DaVinci Resolve PowerGrades, camera matching LUTs, Rec.709 output LUTs, post-production LUTs, and in-camera monitoring LUTs.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

1. GEN5 POWERGRADES

• P6K2Alexa Gen5 LogC PowerGrade – Matches BMPCC 6K footage to Alexa colors and outputs ARRI LogC.

• P6K2Alexa Gen5 BMD Film PowerGrade – Produces Alexa colors while retaining the Blackmagic Gen5 Film log encoding and its extended highlight range.

• P6K2Alexa RCM PowerGrade – Designed for Resolve Color Managed workflows.

• P6K2Alexa ACES PowerGrade – Designed for ACES color management workflows.

2. GEN5 CAMERA MATCHING LUTS

• P6K2Alexa_Gen5_LogC – Converts BMPCC 6K footage to Alexa colors in ARRI LogC.

• P6K2Alexa_Gen5_BMD_Film – Converts footage toward Alexa colors while maintaining Blackmagic Gen5 Film log encoding.

3. ARRI LOGC TO REC.709 LUTS

• ARRI_LogC2Video_709_V2.
• ARRI_LogC2Video_709_WDR_V2.
• Standard.
• WDR.
• WDR Highlights.
• WDR Roll-Off.

The V2 output transforms provide deeper, richer colors with film-inspired saturation while avoiding excessive saturation.

4. BLACKMAGIC GEN5 FILM TO REC.709 LUTS

• BMD_Gen5_Film2Video_709_V2.
• BMD_Gen5_Film2Video_709_WDR_V2.

5. POST-PRODUCTION LUTS

• All-in-one Gen5 camera matching and Rec.709 LUTs.
• 65-point LUT precision for post-production.

6. IN-CAMERA / ON-SET LUTS

• Combined Gen5 camera matching and Rec.709 monitoring LUTs.
• 33-point LUT precision for compatible cameras and external monitors.

7. GEN4 RESOURCES

• P6K2Alexa Gen4 PowerGrades.
• P6K2Alexa Gen4 LUTs.

KEY FEATURES

• BMPCC 6K to ARRI Alexa Matching – Matches the color response of BMPCC 6K footage to ARRI Alexa using a custom 3×3 matrix.

• Sensor-Based Color Transformation – Built from sensor profiling and color measurements rather than a conventional creative look LUT.

• Editable PowerGrade – Adjust the core color matrix, shadow and highlight tint curves, and highlight roll-off.

• Gen4 & Gen5 Support – Includes PowerGrades and LUTs for Blackmagic Color Science Gen4 and Gen5.

• ARRI LogC Output – Produces Alexa-matched LogC footage compatible with LUTs and PowerGrades expecting ARRI LogC input.
