Document Conventions and Menu Navigation
Commands are selected with the supplied in rared remote or the RS232 serial port. To prevent possible command
con lict, only one o these methods o command should be used at a time. See the Serial RS232 Command Inter ace
section or in ormation on serial commands. The in rared remote control command notation is described below:
• Remote buttons are named as shown in a bold font. Example: MENU.
• For comma separated lists, press the buttons in the sequence shown.
• For parenthesized lists, select one button from the list.
• For square-bracketed lists, press the buttons as needed.
Example: For the list [, , , ], press the arrow keys as needed.
• For menu commands press the MENU button. The  and  arrow keys are used to select the
function. The  arrow key (or OK) is used to enter sub-menus. This is shown as: MENU →
M nuIt m → M nuIt m. Generally, the  arrow key (or EXIT) steps up one menu level.
• Numerical entries are listed as valu . For numerical entries, the  arrow key acts as backspace.
• Some commands are activated immediately without the need to press OK. Other commands must
be explicitly accepted by pressing OK. f needed, OK is listed as part of the command, and will
complete the command and return the menu to one level higher in the menu system. Note that,
at default settings, pressing OK when it is not required will bring up the Radiance Status Screen.
• For many commands, pressing EXIT cancels a partially completed command and returns to one
level higher in the menu system. For advanced commands changes are completed from within
the command and EXIT just returns to one level higher in the menu system.
• There are four independent configuration memory types for each input (MEMA, MEMB, MEMC
and MEMD). The input setup and output resolution/timing can be set independently for each
memory. To program an input memory, first select the input, then select the desired
configuration memory and use the menu system to configure.
• Some menu commands are only available when their associated input is selected.
• Before changes are saved, they can be discarded by entering standby (STBY) mode.
• A Save must be per ormed a ter any changes or all changes will be discarded the next time the unit enters
standby (STBY), or power is lost. To save press MENU, , OK, OK, OK.

lock Diagram
The unction o the Radiance is to act as a video switch, process the selected video source and then output video in the
appropriate ormat and resolution. Input rates rom standard de inition up to 4k60 are supported. Video inputs are
converted to progressive video, i necessary, and are then scaled to the video output resolution., which can be up to
4k60. Note: For Radiance Pro units with multiple zone switched outputs, the switched outputs are not processed in any
way.
Interlaced video has been in use or more than 50 years and is still a common video ormat. It displays hal o the lines
o picture in ormation each sixtieth (or i tieth) o a second. Each hal o the image is called a ield and displays either
all the even lines, or all the odd lines. So, an entire image, called a rame, takes a thirtieth (or twenty- i th) o a second
to display on the screen. An “i” su ix on the resolution speci ication is used to indicate interlaced ormats.
In contrast, progressive video presents each rame as a whole. A “p” su ix on the resolution speci ication is used to
indicate progressive ormats. Converting interlaced video to progressive video is re erred to as “deinterlacing.”
The Radiance is comprised the ollowing major unctional sections:
• Video/Audio input selection
• Video deinterlacing (if required)
• Video processing and scaling
• Video/Audio output
The unctional blocks are shown below. Note The number o HDMI inputs and outputs can vary. The 4-input and two-
output con iguration is shown.
Commands can be sent to the Radiance by in rared remote or via the serial RS232 port. The RS232 port, or the USB
port, are also used or so tware updates. Setup is done with the on-screen menu. User unctions (e.g. select input) use
direct commands to make macro programming simpler.
Configuration Memories
To understand how the Radiance unctions, it is important to note that setup and calibration parameters are split into
“input memories” and “output con igurations.” Input memories control the video source setup. Output con igurations

Section 2 – Overview

control the display setup and calibration. The Output con igurations are speci ied by selecting a Mode, CMS and Style
or each input, input memory, input resolution, and 2D/3D mode.
The Radiance has our input memories (MEMA, MEMB, MEMC and MEMD). Each input memory has sub-
memories or the various possible input ormats. These are automatically selected based on the input resolution and
vertical-rate. The “Other” entry represents all the other possible input resolutions and vertical rates. Each input
resolution and vertical rate has 8 sub-memories which can be selected on a per-input and per-input-memory basis.
Each Input sub-memory can be independently linked to any one o the eight Output Modes, eight CMS memories, and
eight Style memories. These store setup data or the video display setup and calibration. In the actory de ault condition
all input sub-memories are linked to “Mode 0,” “CMS 0,” and “Style 0.” To change these enter MENU → Output →
Output S tup → (2D/3D) → OK → (Mod , CMS, Styl ). These settings can be changed or each input sub-
memory. To “Save” new settings, enter MENU → Sav → Sav → OK.
NOTE:
By default all sub-memories point to Mode0, CMS0, and Style0. In most
systems t e default configuration does not need to be c anged.
NOTE:
C anges must be Saved to make t em permanent. If c anges are not
Saved t e Radiance Pro will revert to Saved settings w en turned off.

Section 3 – Quick Start Guide
Installation Instructions
1. Install two AAA batteries in the Lumagen Remote Control.
2. Disconnect all power in the system before connecting any A/V cabling to minimize the chance
of damaging e uipment.
3. Connect audio/video sources as appropriate.
NOTE:
The default configuration is to connect Radiance Pro HDMI Output 1 to the receiver, and HDMI
Output (4 4X) or Output 4 (444X) to the primary display. Lumagen recommends that the Radiance
be used as the switching device for ease of operation, fastest video switching, and best video quality.
De ault connections or Radiance Pro 4242 with AVR plus display/projector
4. Connect the Radiance outputs. If using only one Radiance output, temporarily connect the
display to the highest numbered output. Then change Output 1 to output both audio and video
and do a Save. Then use output 1 for the audio and video so the Audio EDID is reported back
to sources. If using an AVR, or audio PrePro, connect it to Radiance Output 1 the
display/projector to Output 2 (424X), or Output 4 (444X).
NOTE:
For HDMI connections on the Radiance Pro output use 6 to 10 foot ( to 3 meters) passive HDMI
cables. For Radiance Pro outputs requiring lengths over 10 feet (3 meters) Lumagen recommend
using active HDMI cables. Lumagen has found that Monoprice and Ethereal cables work well.
5. Reconnect power. Plug the DC power cord from the Radiance power supply into the DC power
jack on the back of the Radiance. Then connect the power cord to the Radiance power supply
and plug it into a wall outlet.
6. Turn the other e uipment on and use the Radiance remote control to turn the Radiance on.
7. Select the desired Radiance input using the Radiance remote control. The video inputs are numbered
rom 1 to 8. To select and input press the “Input” button and then press the corresponding number button on the
remote. Make sure the selected source device is outputting active video.
8. You should now have an image on your display/projector. The Radiance automatically selects
the appropriate output resolution and frame rate for HDMI/DVI displays/projectors (including
24p when supported), when connected according to these instructions.
9. The default output aspect ratio is 16:9 (i.e. 1.78:1). No output aspect ratio selection is needed
for 16:9 displays or projectors. For other output aspect ratios, please see the User Manual for
information on how to set the output aspect ratio. For 2.35 anamorphic screens the Radiance
Pro can control the aspect ratio without the use of an anamorphic lens. See Tech Tip 16 for
information on how to set up the Radiance Pro for an anamorphic screen.

Section 4 – System Configuration E amples
The most common con igurations using the Radiance are shown below. Note, that HDMI outputs 1 and 2 are shown (424X).
For the Radiance Pro 444X, Use Output 1 or the Receiver and Output our or the TV/projector..
1. Receiver after Radiance.
The de ault con iguration is to connect all the video sources to an inputs o 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 a ter all audio
and video connections have been made, connect to power and turn everything on. The Radiance automatically detects the
video EDID rom output 2 (424X) or Output 4 (444X), and the audio EDID rom output 1 and reports the appropriate EDID
modes back to all source devices.
This con iguration 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 con igure the Radiance since, or the TV/projector output,
audio is o by de ault.
2. Audio and Vid o rout d s parat ly.
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 o by de ault and so is correct by de ault or this case.
3. Receiver in front of Radiance.
Use a AVR in ront o the Radiance to switch the video sources. Note that some AVR’s add arti acts to the video. So turn o
all video processing in the AVR. Connect the TV/projector to Output 2 (424X) or Output 4 (444X). This output has its audio
turned o by de ault and so is correct by de ault or this case.

Power
Turn power on by pressing the ON button. Place the Radiance in standby-mode by pressing STBY.
Input Selection
There are seven zones. To change an input or a speci ic zone, irst select the zone by pressing the ZONE button and then
pressing the corresponding zone number button on the remote. Then to select the input press the corresponding input number
button on the remote.
I the MENU, or Status Screen, is visible, to select a di erent input or the currently active zone press the INPUT button and
then press the corresponding input number button on the remote.
S ortcut:
If t e menu is not displayed on t e screen, a new input for t e currently active zone
can be selected by pressing t e corresponding number button on t e remote.
Note:
If no switc ed outputs are installed (Outputs 5 t roug 10), t en Zone 1
is t e only zone and t e active Zone does not need to be selected.
Configuration Memory Selection
Each input has our con iguration memories. These are re erred to as memory “A,” “B,” “C,” and “D.” To select one o these
memories press MEMA, MEMB, MEMC, or MEMD, respectively. Note, RS232 codes are provided to directly access these
memories. Each input memory has eight input “sub-memories” that are automatically selected based on the input resolution
and 2D/3D input video ormat.
Each con iguration memory, and sub-memory, is independent o the other memories. To allow the memories to be used or
mode selection (e.g. day/night), by de ault, the memory type remains unchanged when a new input is selected. (i.e. I input 2
memory B is active, pressing “INPUT, 3” selects input 3 memory B).
Input Aspect Ratio Selection
The input source aspect ratio can be selected by pressing one o the 4:3, LBOX, 16:9, 1.85, or 2.35 buttons. To use the NLS
eature, press “4:3, NLS”, “16:9, NLS”, or “1.85, NLS”.
• Use 4:3 for standard definition full-screen material.
• Use LBOX for “letterbox” standard definition material, such as analog-television movies shown with black
bars above and below the image.
• Use 16:9 for material labeled as “Enhanced for 16:9 televisions”.
• Use 1.85 for material labeled as “Aspect ratio 1.85”.
• Use ‘Alt’ 1.85 for material that is “Aspect ratio 1.85 letterboxed in a 16:9 (1.78) window”.
• Use 2.35 for material labeled as “Aspect ratio 2.35”.
• Use ‘Alt’ 2.35 for material labeled as “Aspect ratio 2.40”.
• Use NLS to apply a horizontal non-linear stretch, to stretch 4:3 to 16:9, or 16:9 or 1.85 to 2.35 or 2.40.
NOTE:
Make sure the “display aspect ratio” setting is 16:9 in the setup menu of all ideo sources (e.g. Bluray
players or set top boxes), e en if your display is not 16:9.
Image Zoom
A ter the input aspect ratio has been selected, the image can be zoomed in to better it the screen. The zoom unction uses the
 and  arrow buttons. When the menu is o , by de ault, the  arrow button zooms in by about 15% and the  arrow button
zooms out by about 15%.

Section 6 – Video Output Menu
By de ault the output is set to “Auto 2” (424X) or “Auto 4” (444X). The selection “Auto 2” means the Radiance automatically
reads the video EDID or the devices connected to Output 2, and automatically selects the appropriate output resolution.
For “Auto” modes the output vertical rate is selected based on the input vertical rate. For example, input ormats 480i60,
720p60, 1080i60 automatically select a vertical output rate o 60 Hertz. Input ormats 576i50, 720p50, and 1080i50
automatically select a vertical output rate o 50 Hz. For a 24p input ormats, a 24p output vertical rate is selected i the display
supports a 24p vertical rate, otherwise a 60 Hz output rate is selected.
Video Output Setup Menu
The Video Output Setup Menu is used to select output settings (Mode, CMS, and Style) based on the input
number, input memory, and input video mode. The Video Output Select Menu does not a ect the audio settings. See the
Audio Configuration section or in ormation on con iguring audio modes.
NOTE: The Video Output Setup Menu is not needed for typical systems
Once selected, the parameters for the Mode, CMS, and Style are changed using the MENU → Output S tup →
(2D/3D) → Ok → (Mod , CMS, Styl ) menu. The same menu can also be accessed at MENU →Input →

Custom Output Mode
The Custom Modes store settings or the timing o HDMI video mode that drives the display. There are menus to select
standard HDMI modes or custom timings or HDMI modes
Output Mode – Direct Commands
Note that these direct commands are meant as temporary overrides and not as permanent selections. The Output
Setup menu should be used to program the output modes if the Auto output mode is not used. The direct
commands to select output resolution are:
480p60: MENU 0 2 1 OK 720p60: MENU 0 2 4 OK 1080p24: MENU 0 2 0 OK
1080p60: MENU 0 2 7 OK 4k24: MENU 0 2 3 OK 4k60: MENU 0 2 9 OK
Exact Output Timing
After selecting a Custom Output Mode, its timing can be modified on a pixel basis. Do not change the timing using
this menu unless it is really needed. Warning: Some digital displays lose picture if timing is changed by even a
single pixel. The command is:
MENU → Output → Custom Mod s → [Custom] → Timing → Mod Timing
CMS Menu
The Color Management System (CMS) stores settings used to calibrate the color o the display. There are menus to calibrate
the position o the primary/secondary color points, calibrate grayscale tracking, calibrate the gamma curve, and compensate or
red/green push errors.
Gamma Factor
The Gamma Factor adjusts the gamma of the video output up or down. Since the Radiance is in the middle of the
video chain, its default goal is to not affect the image Gamma and so the default Radiance gamma is 1.00.
Changing the Gamma Factor allows the Radiance a “coarse correction” control for display Gamma. t should be set
to (Desired_Gamma / Measured_Gamma). The command is:
MENU → Output → CMS’s → [CMS] → Gamma Factor → OK
Color Gamut
Allows primary and secondary color point calibration, or calibration of 4913-points throughout the RGB color cube,
using a 3D color lookup table (3D LUT) Color Management System (CMS). A color probe and appropriate
calibration software and proper training is necessary for correct adjustment. The command is:
MENU → Output → CMS’s → [CMS] → Color Gamut
Grayscale and Gamma
Allows the parametric adjustment of 2, 5, 11, 12 or 21 color temperature points to adjust the grayscale and
gamma for the display. The command is:
MENU → Output → CMS’s → [CMS] → Gray/Gamma
Color Decoder
Used to correct color decoder errors in the display that have red and/or green push. This adjustment should
generally not be used in conjunction with Color Gamut. The command is:
MENU → Output → CMS’s → [CMS] → Color Decoder
lack Level
Used to set the black level for the display. Normally the “Brightness” or “Black Level” control in the display is used
to set the black level. However, some displays cannot be set accurately. This command allows for accurate
calibration when the display controls are not adequate. t is recommended that the Radiance Contrast Pattern 2
(dark contrast) be used to set the display’s black level. This command is also useful when a second black level is
desired (using a second output CMS) for a “day” or “night” mode. The command is:
MENU → Output → CMS’s → [CMS] → Black → Ok

Section 6 – Video Output Menu
Copyright 2009-2016 Lumagen, Inc. Radiance Pro, Rev 040116 13
White Level
Sets the white level for the display. Normally the “Contrast” control on the display is used to set the white level. t
is recommended that the Radiance Contrast Pattern 1 (White and Black squares pattern) be used to set the
display’s white level. The command is:
MENU → Output → CMS’s → [CMS] → White → Ok
Styles Menu
The Style memory stores settings or the HDMI ormat used to drive the display. There are menus to set the HDMI ormat,
size, position, aspect ratio, and graybars or the image on the display.
HDMI Output Type
You can specify the digital output range as “RGB-PC level” (e.g. for 8-bit 0 to 255) or “RGB-Video level” (e.g. for 8-
bit 16 to 235). “YCbCr 422” is the recommended output format. For the HDM RGB output, setting the level as
video allows blacker-than-black and whiter-than-white levels to be output from the Radiance. The command is:
MENU → Output → Styles → [Style] → HDMI Format → Type →
(Auto, RGB-Video level, RGB-PC level, YCbCr444, YCbCr422)
Note that for some modes (4k60 using 9 GHz output cards) the mode may not be programmable. For reference
the 4k60 output mode using 9 GHz /O cards is always 4:2:0, 8-bit.
Rate Match
Some material may be sourced at 24.00/60.00 Hertz refresh rates instead of the standard 23.98/59.94 Hertz rates.
t is desirable to slightly alter the output rate to match the input rate as long as the display works with these
different rates. The default setting is 'Off.' Use 'Off' if your display will not accept these rates. The command is:
MENU → Output → Styl s → [Styl s] → HDMI Format → Rat Match → (No, Y s)
Color Format
Sets the outputs color format. t should be set to Auto except to correct for a color format error in the display.
Normally Bt.601 is use for SD/ED modes and Bt.709 is used for HD modes. Use the Auto format unless there is an
issue that requires a manual selection. The command is:
MENU → Output → Styl s → [Styl ] → HDMI Format → Color Format → (Auto, Bt.601, Bt.709)
Dither
Some fixed pixel displays show contouring on images that have gradients because the physical pixel depth of each
pixel is limited. The dither control can be used to enhance the resolution of the display and reduce contouring.
Dither position sets the bit size of the pixel for dithering. Orientation controls the frame-to-frame randomization
and can be fixed of dynamic. Masking can be turned on to clear the lowest bits after the dither addition. The
command is:
MENU → Output → Styles → [Style] → HDMI Format → Dither
Mask
Allows you to “blank” the edges of the video image on the output without changing its position or scaling. This is
useful to blank bad pixel data from the source that shows on screen, when you want to keep the “pixel perfect”
setup (i.e. no scaling). The command is:
MENU → Output → Styl s → [Styl s] → Mask/Shrink → Mask
Shrink
Adjust the image size to fit inside a screen masking system. This command is useful for rear-screen and flat-panel
displays when the manufacturer uses too much “overscan”. The command is:
MENU → Output → Styl s → [Styl s] → Mask/Shrink → Shrink
Keystone
Allows adjusting for a vertical projector placement offset if the projector does not have enough optical keystone
adjustment. The command is:
MENU → Output → Styl s → [Styl s] → Mask/Shrink → K yston
