Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Lumagen®RadianceMini™ video processor. The Radiance
family of products boasts the highest-performance video switching, processing and
calibration available. An indication of this is that the RadianceXE™ processor was
honored with the 2010 Consumer Electronics Association Platinum Video Product of the
Year award. This makes it ideal for high-definition home and commercial theater
applications
The RadianceMini combines proprietary strides in video technology for small systems
with up to two HDMI inputs and as an end-point processor for whole-house audio/video
systems using matrix-switch technology. Lumagen’s Radiance series refines and
enhances the video images presented by high definition front projectors, top-level rear-
screen and flat-panel displays.
By incorporating improved video de-interlacing, new MPEG artifact reduction and
temporal noise reduction, the Radiance series expands upon the company’s well-known
Vision series.
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 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.
Key Features
•10-bit processing for deinterlacing plus a 12-bit calibration pipeline
•Proprietary Lumagen No-ring™ scaling
•Optional support for HDMI 1.4 3D

•Each user configuration memory has 8 resolution sub-memories (for HD inputs)
•Each resolution sub-memory is linked to one of 8 output configurations.
•2:2, 3:2 and 3:3 pull-down for SD/HD film sources
•Per-pixel SD/HD video de-interlacing
•Adaptive diagonal filtering
•MPEG mosquito and block artifact reduction
•Temporal noise reduction for SD and HD sources
•Output resolution from 480p to 1080p, plus 1080i
•User programmable non-linear-stretch (NLS) mode
•4:3, LBOX, 16:9, 1.85, 2.35 and NLS input aspect ratios
•Programmable output aspect ratio from 1.33 to 2.50
•Extensive support for anamorphic lenses
•Extensive suite of test patterns
•Parametric grayscale calibration
•Parametric Gamma

Document Conventions and Menu Navigation
Commands are selected with the supplied infrared remote or the RS232 serial port. To
prevent possible command conflict, only one of these methods of command should be
used at a time. See the Serial RS232 Command Interface section for information on
serial commands. The infrared remote control command notation is described below:
•Remote buttons are named as shown on the remote 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 →MenuItem →MenuItem. The arrow key (or EXIT)
steps up one menu level.
•Numerical entries are listed as value. The arrow key acts as a backspace key.
•Some commands are activated immediately without the need to press OK. Other
commands must be explicitly accepted by pressing OK. If 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.
•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 performed after 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.
Unpacking
•Unpack the box.
•Make sure that you remove all of the accessories from the packing.
•Save the box and packing materials in case you need to ship your Radiance.
Verify that your box contains the following items:

3. Remove the old batteries (if applicable).
4. Install two new AAA batteries, observing the battery polarity shown in the battery
compartment.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Installation Guidelines
•Install the Radiance on a flat, level surface such as a table or shelf.
•Alternately the Radiance can be installed in an equipment rack by using optional
rack ears.
•Select a well-ventilated, dry location.
•Verify that the cooling vents are clear of obstructions to provide convection
cooling.
•Only use the a Lumagen approved power supply.
•Avoid sudden temperature changes, temperature extremes and excessive
humidity.
