System Configuration Examples
The most common configurations using the Radiance are shown below. Note, examples below refer to the
Radiance Pro 424X units. For the Radiance Pro 444X, use Output 1 for the AVR and Output 4 for the TV/projector.
1. Receiver after Radiance (most common configuration)
The default configuration is to connect all the video sources to the inputs of the Radiance Pro and connect the
receiver, or preamp, to HDMI Out 1, and the display/projector to Radiance HDMI Out 2 (424X) or Output 4 (444X).
Only after all audio and video connections have been made, connect power and turn everything on. The Radiance
automatically detects the video EDID from output 2 (424X) or Output 4 (444X), and the audio EDID from output 1
and reports the appropriate EDID modes back to all source devices. You can manually override this behavior.
By default, Output 1 is set to “Audio Only”. With this setting, Output 1 will output audio with blank 1080i
or 720p
video.
In the “Output Setup” menu,
for 9 GHz output cards, you can change the settings for each output
to “Audio
Only”, “Video Only”, “Both Audio and Video”, or “No Audio or Video
.
”
For 18 GHz output cards, the odd numbered
output is always Audio-only, or off. If the odd output is enabled for audio the even numbered output is always
both audio and video at up to 18 GHz. If the odd numbered output is off, then the even numbered output can be
programmed for video only, or both video and audio, at up to 18 GHz using the Output Set Menu.
This configuration can improve switching delays by using the Radiance Pro
’s input switching and guarantees that
the receiver does not degrade the video. It also minimizes the work needed to configure the Radiance, for the
TV/projector output, because audio is off by default.
2. Audio and Video routed separately
Route the audio and video separately to the Radiance and a receiver. Connect the TV/projector to Output 2 (424X)
or Output 4 (444X). This output has its audio turned off by default and so is correct by default for this case.
3. Receiver in front of Radiance
You can use an AVR in front of the Radiance to switch the video sources. Note that some
AVR’s
add artifacts to the
video. So turn off all video processing in the AVR. Connect the TV/projector to Output 2 (424X) or Output 4
(444X). This output has its audio turned off by default and so is correct for this case.
