Thank you for purchasing a Lumagen
®
Radiance™ video processor. The Lumagen Radiance Video Processor
series boasts the highest-performance video switching, processing and calibration available. This makes it
ideal for 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. At the same time the Radiance functions as a central switching hub ideal for home and corporate
theater systems.
The RadianceXE, combines proprietary strides in video technology with enhanced connectivity and the
flexibility of up to 18 video and 18 audio inputs. The RadianceXE is HDMI 1.4 “3D” and supports audio
formats for Dolby-Digital TrueHD™ and DTS Master-Audio™. The RadianceXE supports HDMI 1.4a “3D”
video formats.
By incorporating advanced de-interlacing MPEG artifact reduction and temporal noise reduction, the
Radiance series expands upon the company’s well-known Vision series – a line which received industry
recognition for advancements in switching, calibration and proprietary No-ring™ scaling technologies.
The Radiance offers 10-bit processing, per-pixel standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) video de-
interlacing with adaptive diagonal filtering, scaling technology that does not add ringing (unlike competing
products), MPEG mosquito and block artifact reduction and “3D” temporal noise reduction for both SD and
HD sources. For these reasons, the Radiance™ processor sets the industry benchmark for switching,
calibration and video processing performance.
