Section 1 – Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Lumagen
®
Radiance™ video processor. The award winning Lumagen Radiance
video processor family boasts the highest-performance video switching, processing and calibration available.
This makes it ideal for premium quality high-definition home and commercial theater applications.
Lumagen’s Radiance series refines and enhances the video images presented by high definition front
projectors, top-level rear-screen and flat-panel displays.
The Radiance family offers 10-bit front-end, and 12-bit back-end, processing, per-pixel standard definition
(SD) and high definition (HD) video de-interlacing with adaptive diagonal filtering, No-Ring™ scaling
technology that does not add ringing (unlike competing products), MPEG mosquito and block artifact
reduction plus “3D” temporal noise reduction for both SD and HD sources. It supports HDMI
®
1.4 “3D” and
uncompressed audio formats for Dolby-Digital TrueHD™ and DTS Master-Audio™ bitstream formats.
At the same time Radiance processors can function as a central switching hub for the audio video system.
For these reasons, the Radiance™ processor family sets the industry benchmark for switching, calibration
and video processing performance.
