    Section 2 – Overview SWAP Not available for RadianceXS MODE Not available for RadianceXS Block Diagram The function of the Radiance is to process the selected source and output video at the appropriate resolution. If the video input is interlaced, it is first deinterlaced into a progressive format.
  • Page 13 Section 2 – Overview The Radiance has four input memories (MEMA, MEMB, MEMC and MEMD). Each input memory has eight sub-memories that are automatically selected for input resolutions of 480, 576, 720p, 1080i50, 1080i60, 1080p24, 1080p60 and Other. The “Other” memory is reserved as a “catch-all” for unspecified resolutions. The following applies to software revision 102910, and later revisions: Each Input sub- resolution memory can be independently linked to any one of the eight output mode, CMS and style memories.
