    While the color mapping portion of Tone Mapping is done by calibrating the 3D LUT for the Rec 2020 color space, the intensity portion of tone mapping can be accomplished using the Radiance Pro’s HDR Intensity Mapping feature. See the Calibration and Output CMS HDR Mapping sections for more information.

    To set the input’s black-level (also referred to as brightness) and white-level (also referred to as contrast) using the Lumagen controls, use a test pattern generator or select a PLUGE pattern from a test pattern disc. Note that the input memory black and contrast are intended to compensate for variations in video source levels, not to calibrate the display.

    To use non-linear stretch press the “4:3”, “16:9” or “1.85” button and then press the “NLS” button. 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.

    HDCP 2.2 encryption if the downstream device supports HDCP 2.2. This is an issue if the output of the Radiance Pro is connected to a HDCP 1.X TV, or projector, since the Radiance Pro will then be required to disable video, because the TV, or projector, is not HDCP 2.2.

    So it can be on for Set top boxes and not significantly increase channel change time. Another advantage of the Radiance Pro Genlock is that the input to output video delay is the same within a few milliseconds independent of the input and output mode. For example, with Genlock on the input to output delay for 1080i in to 4k60 out is almost the same as for 24p in to 24p out.

    (to the best ability of the display for brightness and color Gamut). With proper calibration, your Radiance Pro will be able to drive your Rec 709 TV or projector to its full capabilities to allow a wider color Gamut, with HDR EOTF, and less image noise than Rec 709 sources, such as Bluray.
  • Page 32: Hdr Calibration

    For your calibration software you should choose the SDR Gamma and Rec 709 color primaries as usual. At default settings in the Radiance Pro CMS0 is automatically chosen for all SDR, non- Rec2020, sources and the SDR Rec 709 calibration is loaded into CMS0.

    Radiance Pro 1D and 3D LUTs is completed the resulting image Gamma is still correct, but the HDMI interface from the Radiance Pro to the display is at a higher Gamma. Just as the higher HDR Gamma helps reduce noise near black, this can help preserve the benefit of the higher Gamma used for HDR sources.
