Page 6: Section 1 - Getting Started
The RadianceXD combines proprietary strides in video technology, with enhanced connectivity and the flexibility of up to 18 video and 18 audio inputs. Lumagen’s Radiance series refines and enhances the video images presented by high definition front projectors, and top-level rear-screen and flat-panel displays; while at the same time functioning as an extensive central switching hub ideal for home and corporate theater systems. -

Replace the battery compartment cover. Display Compatibility Requirement The RadianceXD is compatible with a wide variety of displays. The display must have an input that supports 480p or higher resolution. The display should have an HDMI or DVI digital input. Displays with an analog component or RGB input can be used if the user provides an external HDMI/DVI to analog video converter. -

Section 2 – Overview Block Diagram The function of the RadianceXD is to act as a video switch, process the selected video source and then output video in the appropriate format and resolution. Standard definition (SD), enhanced-definition (ED), high-definition (HD) video inputs, plus a number of PC formats are supported. Video inputs are converted to progressive video (if necessary) and are then scaled to the video output resolution. -

Setup is done with the on-screen menu. User functions (e.g. select input) use direct commands. Configuration Memories To understand RadianceXD functions, it is important to note that setup and calibration parameters are split into “input memories” and “output configurations.” Input memories deal with source specific setup and calibration. -

• Default user-defined mode is 2-channel PCM and Dolby-Digital 5.1 only. In any case, the user can change the user-default to include any or all audio modes supported by the RadianceXD. • Audio EDID, and audio output enables, are global parameters. That is, they can change when the active output changes, but there is no input-specific memory as with video. -
