UPDATE
It turns out EL Zone is patented, so I've had to remove the files I originally had available for download, sorry.

EL Zone is a simple but powerful idea. Let’s display digital image values as ‘stops’ of linear light, just as we do on-set. So far, this system is limited to SmallHD monitors and a select few cameras, but in this video I go through the EL Zone DCTL that I made to use this in colour grading, and how to export a LUT to use this system (in a limited way) on any monitor or camera that supports LUTs.
