Page 4: Introduction
™ 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
Lumagen Video Processor The primary function of the VisionHDP, and VisionDVI, is to act as a video switch, process the selected video source, and output in the appropriate format and resolution. Standard definition (SD), enhanced-definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video inputs are supported, in addition to a number of PC formats. - Page 6 The Lumagen video processor scaling is programmable in scanline increments. For analog outputs, the video is over-sampled to provide the best possible image quality. For DVI-D outputs the resolution is programmable in both scanline increments vertically, and pixel increments horizontally.

Digital Video Essentials is also excellent. • Select Lumagen input aspect ratio as 16:9 for a 16:9 screen, or 4:3 for a 4:3 screen. This is necessary to properly set the overscan. • Select Advanced AVIA → Video Test Patterns → Special Tests → Overscan. - Page 16 • Select Advanced AVIA → Video Test Patterns → 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.

4:3 image in the center of a 16:9 image (e.g. HDTV with up-scaled SD source). This latter case is seen as a “pillar-boxed” image with black bars on the left and right. The “PILLARBOXED” parameter must be enabled for this case. The Lumagen will then crop the pillbox bars and stretch the active 4:3 image. -
Page 25: Y/C Delay
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. -

EDID interface. The OFF setting means the source plugged into the Lumagen DVI input will see no info when it tries to read the EDID. With the PASS setting the Lumagen will read the EDID from the display and pass that back to the source. The DFLT setting enables some basic display modes such as 480p, 720 and 1080i. -

Page 35: For Optimal Picture Quality
• A system’s “ground loop noise” can cause visible horizontal banding, or other problems. Since the Lumagen case “floats” with reference to ground, it may need to be grounded to the video source or display. Use approximately 18-guage wire to connect the case of the Lumagen to a chassis ground on the video source or display. -
Page 36: Selecting The Output Resolution
It is important that the optimal output resolution is selected on the Lumagen. For a DVI-D output which is connected to a plasma, DLP, or LCD display, the output resolution should be the native resolution of the display. -

720p or 1080i material. This can be achieved as follows (this example assumes that the Lumagen is at factory default state and that the set top box is set to output at the source’s native resolution – i.e. 480i or 480p for SD source, 720p for 720p source and 1080i for 1080i source). -
Page 38: Troubleshooting
A PC will not drive the DVI input of the Lumagen video processor: • The correct Lumagen DVI input must be selected while booting the PC for the PC to be able to read the EDID data from the Lumagen video processor. -

Lumagen from functioning normally. For this case, there is a special recovery mode. The Lumagen has a small boot program that runs when power is first connected. Since this “boot kernel” is never updated, it remains intact even if an update fails after the system flash memory is erased. -
Page 40: Specifications
• Four independent configuration memories per input. Output • DVI-D/HDCP and analog output resolution from 480p to 1080p (VisionHDP), or to 800p (VisionDVI), at up to 60 Hertz. • The analog output supports RGB and YP . Both formats support bilevel and trilevel sync.
