Section 1 – Getting Started
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Lumagen® RadianceXD™ video-processor. The RadianceXD boasts the highest-
performance video switching, processing and calibration. This makes it ideal for high-definition home and
commercial theater applications
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.
By incorporating improved video de-interlacing, new MPEG artifact reduction and temporal noise reduction,
the RadianceXD expands upon the company’s well-known Vision series – a line which received industry
recognition in 2005 and 2006 for advancements in switching, calibration and proprietary No-ring™ scaling
technologies.
The RadianceXD 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 RadianceXD™ processor sets the industry benchmark for
switching, calibration and video processing performance.
