Section 2 – Overview Section 2 – Overview Front Panel The front panel has a light-emitting-diode (LED) indicator, which is red when the unit is in “standby” and, by default, is green when the unit is “on.” Note that the green “on” indicator can be turned off if preferred. Rear Panel There are four HDMI and six analog video inputs. -

Page 14: Block Diagram
Section 2 – Overview Block Diagram The function of the Radiance 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 15: Configuration Memories
Section 2 – Overview Composite and SVideo inputs automatically select between NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats. The component, RGB and HDMI inputs accept SD, ED and HD video at 24, 50 or 59.94 Hertz. HDCP encryption is supported for the HDMI inputs. This is not just a “pass-through” function. If the signal is encrypted, the HDMI inputs are decrypted, processed, scaled and then re-encrypted for output as HDMI. -
Page 16: Section 3 - Quick Start Guide
NOTE: While the Radiance can be connected after the Audio-Video-Receiver (AVR) on the AVR HDMI Output, Lumagen recommends instead that the Radiance be used as the switching device with Radiance Output 1 connected to an HDMI input on the AVR. -
Page 17: System Configuration Examples
Section 3 – Quick Start Guide System Configuration Examples The most common configurations using the Radiance are shown below. 1. Receiver after Radiance. The default configuration is to connect all the video sources to the input of the Radiance. Connect your AVR to Radiance HDIM Out 1, your display/projector to Radiance HDMI Out 2, and then power everything on. -
Page 18: Source Device Connection Examples
1 to an appropriate AVR input. Connect the display’s HDMI input to the Radiance’s HDMI Output 2. Change the Audio EDID in the main Audio menu to “User1 EDID.” If the AVR output is intended only for displaying the AVR’s On-Screen-Display, Lumagen recommends using a Radiance analog video input. Source Device Connection Examples The following illustrations show the types of cables, which can be used to connect typical video sources to the Radiance. - Page 19 Section 3 – Quick Start Guide Bluray / Set Top Box / dVHS / Networked Media Player Connecting a PC using a HDMI cable is preferred, but Input 8 can be used as an analog VGA (RGBHV) input. Use the Y channel for green, the P channel for red and the P channel for blue, Input 9 for VSync, and Input 10 for HSync.

Page 22: Section 5 - Video Configuration
Section 5 – Video Configuration Section 5 – Video Configuration By default the output is set to “Auto 2,1.” The selection “Auto 2,1” means the Radiance automatically reads the EDID for the devices connected to both outputs, giving priority to Output 2, and automatically selects the appropriate output resolution. -

Some degree of burn-in will occur on any susceptible display, but this command can help minimize it by allowing the intensity of the graybars to be adjusted. -
Page 26: Hdmi Level
EDID is information that can be read over DVI/ HDMI cables to influence how source devices deliver video, which helps produce an optimal picture. There are 4 settings for the Lumagen EDID interface. The default setting enables all of the display modes the Radiance supports. The User defined setting allows the user to individually select which capabilities will be advertised to the source. -
Page 27: Analog Input Setup
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 PLUGE pattern. Note that the input memory black and contrast are intended to compensate for variations in video source output levels. Use a Radiance contrast pattern and the display’s controls to set the display black and white levels. -
Page 28: Input Size Controls
“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. The NLS adjustments are center width, center stretch, top cropping and bottom cropping. -
Page 29: Input Masking
Genlock is used to minimize video delay, for 480i/1080i to 24Hz conversion, and to avoid an occasional dropped or repeated frame. It can slow down source and mode changes, so Lumagen recommends setting Genlock to ‘off’ for cable and satellite set top boxes. The command is: MENU →... -
Page 30: Reinterlace
Section 5 – Video Configuration The command is: MENU → Input → Video Setup → [Resolution] → Control → Game Mode → (On, Off) Reinterlace Adds reinterlacing for 480p and 576p sources. This can provide dramatic improvements to a picture that has been poorly deinterlaced prior to coming into the Radiance. -

Page 32: Section 6 - Audio Configuration
Section 6 – Audio Configuration Section 6 – Audio Configuration The RadianceXS supports the HDMI 1.4 audio formats. This means that Dolby Digital TrueHD™ and DTS Master-Audio™ are available. By default the audio EDID from the device connected to HDMI Output 1 is passed back to all source devices. -

Section 6 – Audio Configuration Output 2 should have audio only since the TV cannot accept 1080p60. When you watch TV you would select 720p video output, and turn on the video output on HDMI Output 2. One option is to set MEMA to output 1080p (and disable output 2 video), and MEMB to output 720p on both outputs. -
Page 36: Section 7 - Calibration
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, or use a calibration disc (such as AVIA, Digital Video Essentials, or Spears & Munsil High-Definition Benchmark). Then you need to spend time learning how various calibration controls interact and how they affect image quality. -

Page 38: Iterate The Gamut And Grayscale/Gamma Calibrations
Gamma is the response curve between black and white and also has an industry defined standard that should be followed. Lumagen has developed a unique 2,5,11,12 or 21 point parametric grayscale/gamma calibration feature, which allows both grayscale and gamma to be optimized over the entire range from black to white, and not just at one or two points. - Page 39 Section 7 – Calibration 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.

NOTE: Generally 3D displays/projectors control the 3D glasses. In this case this command is not used. These settings control the Lumagen 3D Eyeglass Adapter when it is connected the HDMI output on the Radiance. The delay setting adjusts when the shutter-glasses switch eyes. If the 3D effect doesn’t look correct it may be that the left and right eyes are swapped. -

Page 43: Section 9 - 3D Support
Section 9 – 3D Support Section 9 – 3D Support The Radiance supports HDMI 1.4 “3D”. This includes 3D video source switching, 3D processing, 3D scaling, 3D aspect ratio control, and 3D format conversion. The Radiance can vertically stretch 3D images for a 2.35 screen on systems that use an anamorphic lens. -

Section 9 – 3D Support Separate Left and Right The Radiance can accept HDMI 1.4 “3D” video and output either the left-eye or right-eye image for a dual projector 3D system that uses passive 3D glasses. This 3D system configuration uses two Radiance video processors. -
Page 45: 3D Edid Configuration
Section 9 – 3D Support 3D EDID Configuration By default the display’s 3D capability is automatically detected using its EDID information. However, some 3D displays do not properly report their 3D capability in their EDID. This command allows the 3D output capability to be manually enabled (or disabled). -
