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. -
Page 9: Section 2 - Overview
Audio can be output on the HDMI outputs and/or both COAX outputs. Additional connections are provided for LVTTL command input (38 KHz IR format), two 12-volt trigger outputs, RS232 command and update, plus the 12 VDC power input. These connections are described on the following page. RadianceXD rev_060608... -

Page 12: Block Diagram
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. -
Page 13: Configuration Memories
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. -
Page 14: Section 3 - Quick Setup Guide
The most common configurations using the RadianceXD are shown below. 1. Audio and Video routed separately. Connect the display to a RadianceXD HDMI output. Since audio is not used in the display for this case, turn off the RadianceXD HDMI output audio, for both outputs, using the Audio menu. -
Page 15: System Hook-Up Examples
System Hook-up Examples The following illustrations show the types of cables, which can be used to connect typical video sources to the RadianceXD. Multiple possibilities are shown for some sources, but only a single audio and a single video connection are required. - Page 16 In this mode VSync uses Input 17, and HSync uses Input 18. SCART (RGBcvS) Note: For RGBcvS, a component input is combined with the adjacent composite video input (e.g. component Input 10 + cvS on Input 18). RadianceXD rev_060608...

Page 19: Section 4 - Audio
• Default “User EDID” mode is 2-channel PCM and Dolby-Digital 5.1 only. The user can change the “User EDID” to include any audio modes supported by the RadianceXD and the audio processor. • Audio EDID, and audio output enables, are global parameters. That is, they change (only) when the active output changes. -

Connect the video cables. Then connect the power adaptor and turn on all required components. Digital Display For a digital display, the RadianceXD will automatically detect whether the display has a DVI or a HDMI input. Analog Display For an analog display, attach an external HDMI, or DVI, to analog output converter. -

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. -

However, you can improve your picture without hiring a professional if you prefer. You will need to learn how to use the Lumagen test patterns, and have either a test-pattern generator or a calibration disc (such as AVIA or Digital Video Essentials). Then you need to spend time learning how various calibration controls interact and how they affect image quality. -

However, any source can be calibrated first if you prefer. • Set the Lumagen input aspect ratio as 4:3 (1.33) for a 4:3 screen, 16:9 (1.76) for a 16:9 screen, or 2.35 for a projector with a 2.35 anamorphic lens. The input aspect ratio should be set before adjusting the overscan. - Page 35 MENU→ → → → Input→ → → → Video Setup→ → → → [Resolution]→ → → → Picture→ → → → Color/Hue → → → → OK • Display a “Y/C Delay” test pattern. • Set Y/C Delay.
