Page 4: Introduction
VisionHDP™ and VisionDVI™ User Manual and Installer Guide Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Lumagen Video Processor. It has been designed to offer great video processing quality, while providing the best available value. The two main sections of this manual are the User Guide and the Installer Guide. As their names imply, the User Guide provides instructions on day-to-day usage, and the Installer Guide provides initial setup information. -
Page 5: Lumagen ® Video Processor
Converting interlaced video to progressive video is referred to as “deinterlacing.” The Lumagen video processor is comprised of four major functional sections: • Input selection, conversion to digital (if needed), and video decoding •... - Page 6 If the video input is interlaced, it is first deinterlaced into a progressive format. Proprietary scaling algorithms are used to scale the resulting progressive video to the optimal size for the display. The Lumagen video processor is programmable in scanline increments. For analog outputs, video is over-sampled to provide the best possible image quality.

Page 14: Output Calibration
For DVI-D inputs: Output Calibration: • The interface between the Lumagen and display should be calibrated first. This is best accomplished using the internal Lumagen test patterns to assure that any variance in a source (either size or levels) does not affect the calibration. Later, differences between inputs can be calibrated using the source devices. - Page 15 VisionHDP™ and VisionDVI™ User Manual and Installer Guide • To calibrate the black and white levels, select the Lumagen contrast test pattern → → → MENU MISC TPAT ), then use the left-arrow key to select the contrast test pattern.

Page 16: Input Calibration
VisionHDP™ and VisionDVI™ User Manual and Installer Guide Input Calibration: • Each input source should be calibrated, starting with the DVD. The Lumagen provides four independent input configuration memories for each input. So, calibration for each input is independent of other inputs and multiple independent calibrations can be done for each input. - Page 17 Special Tests Y/C-Delay. • Set Y/C Delay. Use the Lumagen Control to minimize the error in the blue and red timing verses Luma. On the right part of the screen there are red bars on a yellow background. Adjust to balance any color transition errors on the left and right edges of the red bars.

Page 24: Non-Linear Stretch
The goal is to stretch the image to fill the screen in a way that looks as natural as possible. The Lumagen NLS command is very flexible and allows the image to be adjusted to user preferences to achieve this goal. The NLS adjustments are center width, center stretch, top cropping and bottom cropping. -
Page 25: Pass-Through Mode
The HD VIDPP mode uses a “per-pixel” motion adaptive deinterlacing algorithm (as used for SD deinterlacing), and the VIDNC uses a scaling deinterlacing method. While the VIDPP mode generally provides the best image, the Lumagen will not comb in VIDNC mode, and so VIDNC is sometimes preferable. -
Page 26: Flip Input Field
For a typical setup with an NTSC source (nominally 59.94 Hz) and outputting a 59.94 Hz rate to the display, the clocks of the NTSC source and the Lumagen will never match exactly. Because of this very slight mismatch, there will be a dropped (or doubled) frame once every few minutes. -
Page 27: Dvi Input Edid Display Information
DFLT, PASS, OFF DVI input Hotplug Mode Each Lumagen DVI input sends a signal (Hotplug) back to the DVI source to inform the source to drive its DVI output. However, some sources behave differently to the Hotplug signal. This command selects how the Lumagen DVI input Hotplug signal functions. The NORM option asserts Hotplug only when the respective Lumagen input is selected. -

Since this “boot kernel” is never updated, it remains intact even if an update fails after the system flash memory is erased. - Page 40 VisionHDP™ and VisionDVI™ User Manual and Installer Guide ® © 2004 - 2006 Lumagen , Inc.
