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. Standard de inition (SD), enhanced-de inition (ED), high-
de inition (HD) video inputs, plus a number o PC ormats are supported. Video inputs are converted to
progressive video (i necessary) and are then scaled to the video output resolution.
Interlaced video has been in use or more than 50 years and is still the most 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 input selection with conversion to digital (i needed) and video decoding
• Video deinterlacing
• Video iltering and scaling
• Video output o HDMI digital video
• Audio input selection
• Audio control
• Audio output encoding
The unctional blocks are shown below.

Composite and SVideo inputs automatically select between NTSC, PAL and SECAM ormats. The component,
RGB and HDMI inputs accept SD, ED and HD video at 24, 50 or 59.94 Hertz. HDCP encryption is supported
or the HDMI inputs. This is not just a “pass-through” unction. I the signal is encrypted, the HDMI inputs
are decrypted, processed, scaled and then re-encrypted or output as HDMI. For HDCP encrypted inputs, a
HDCP capable display is required.
I the video input is interlaced, it is irst deinterlaced into a progressive ormat. User enabled noise reduction
algorithms are then applied. Proprietary No-ring™ scaling algorithms are used to scale the resulting
progressive video to the optimal size or the display.
As part o the scaling process, digital iltering is used to enhance the image detail. This enhancement allows
standard de inition inputs, such as DVDs, to appear to be much higher resolution. This is especially valuable
when standard-de inition sources are viewed on the large screen sizes common in home theaters.
Commands can be sent to the Radiance by in rared remote or via the serial RS232 port. The RS232 port is
used or so tware updates. Setup is done with the on-screen menu. User unctions (e.g. select input) use
direct commands.
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 video source setup. Output
con igurations control display setup and calibration and are speci ied by selecting a Mode, CMS and Style or
each input, input User memory, input resolution, and 2D/3D input.
The Radiance has our input memories (MEMA, MEMB, MEMC and MEMD). Each input memory has eight
sub-memories that are automatically selected or input resolutions o 480, 576, 720p, 1080i50, 1080i60,
1080p24, 1080p60 and Other. The “Other” memory is reserved as a “catch-all” or unspeci ied resolutions.
The ollowing applies to so tware revision 102910, and later revisions: Each Input sub-resolution memory
can be independently linked to any one o the (8) output modes, (8) CMS and (8) Style memories. They
store setup data or the video display setup and calibration. In the actory de ault condition all input sub-
resolution memories are linked to “Mode 0,” “CMS 0,” and “Style 0.” To change these enter MENU →
Ou pu → Ou pu Se up → (2D/3D) → OK → (Mode, CMS, S yle). These settings can be changed or
each input sub-resolution memory. To “Save” new settings, enter MENU → Save → Save → OK.
De ault “Input Memory” to “Output ” con iguration ( or 102910, or later, so tware)

Installation Instructions
1. nstall two AAA batteries in the Lumagen Remote Control.
2. Connect audio/video sources to the appropriate Radiance inputs.
NOTE:
While the Radiance can be connected after the Audio-Video-Receiver (AVR) on the
AVR HDMI Output, Lumagen recommends instead that the Radiance be used as the
switching device with Radiance Output 1 connected to an HDMI input on the AVR.
Default connections or System with AVR plus display/projector
3. Connect the Radiance outputs. f using only one Radiance output, use Output 1 if the Radiance
needs to pass audio, or Output 2 if not. f using an AVR, or audio PrePro, connect it to
Radiance Output 1 and the display/projector to Output 2, as shown below.
NOTICE:
When using an AVR for audio, connec i o Ou pu 1 and he display/projec or o
Ou pu 2 as shown above. To save effor , do NOT connec he display/projec or o
Ou pu 1 for his case, as i would require addi ional se up o func ion properly.
4. 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.
5. Turn the other equipment on and use the Radiance remote control to turn the Radiance on.
6. Select the desired Radiance input using the Radiance remote control.
The ten video inputs are
numbered 1 to 10. For inputs 1 through 9, press the “Inpu ” button and then press the corresponding
number button on the remote. For input 10, press the “Inpu ” button, then the “0” button
7. Audio inputs can be associated with the active input using the following command:
MENU → Input → Audio Setup → Source → (select audio input) → OK
8. Make sure the appropriate HDM input on the display/projector is selected, and the selected
source device is outputting active video.
9. You should now have an image on your display/projector. Note: The Radiance automatically
selects the appropriate output resolution and frame rate for HDM /DV displays and projectors
(including 24p when supported by the display/projector), when connected according to these
instructions.
10. 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.

System Configuration Examples
The most common con igurations using the Radiance are shown below.
1. Receiver af er Radiance.
The de ault con iguration is to connect all the video sources to the input o the Radiance. Connect your AVR to
Radiance HDIM Out 1, your display/projector to Radiance HDMI Out 2, and then power everything on. The
Radiance automatically detects and selects the appropriate audio and video modes.
This con iguration can improve switching delays using the Radiance’s ast input switching, and guarantees the
video is not degraded by the AVR. It also minimizes the work needed to con igure the Radiance since, or output 2,
audio is turned o by de ault. Note, some ampli iers do not accept audio or non-standard video rates, such as
768p, or at any rate above 720p/1080i, and some ampli iers will not report EDID back to the Radiance unless the
ampli ier’s HDMI output is turned o , or is driving a display. I you connect the Radiance coax audio output to a
receiver, you can use HDMI audio or coax/SPIDF audio input rom the video source but you need to change the
Radiance Audio EDID to one o the “USER” modes in the main audio menu. See the Audio section o this manual
or more in ormation.
2. Audio and Video rou ed separa ely.
Route the audio and video separately to the Radiance and a receiver. Connect the display to Radiance HDMI
Output 2. This output has its audio turned o by de ault and so is correct by de ault or this case.
3. Receiver in fron of Radiance.
Use a receiver in ront o the Radiance to switch the video sources. Connect the display to Radiance HDMI Output
2. This output has its audio turned o by de ault and so is correct by de ault or this case.

4. Receiver in fron of and af er he Radiance.
Connecting the Radiance both in ront o and a ter the AVR is not recommended, but can be used in special
circumstances. This connection scheme can cause HDCP authentication loops, which cause power up and switching
issues in some systems.
Connect the AVR’s HDMI video output to an appropriate Radiance video input, and connect the Radiance’s Output
1 to an appropriate AVR input. Connect the display’s HDMI input to the Radiance’s HDMI Output 2. Change the
Audio EDID in the main Audio menu to “User1 EDID.” I the AVR output is intended only or displaying the AVR’s
On-Screen-Display, Lumagen recommends using a Radiance analog video input.
Source Device Connection Examples
The ollowing illustrations show the types o cables, which can be used to connect typical video sources to the

Power
Turn power on by pressing the ON button. Place the Radiance in standby-mode by pressing STBY.
Input Selection
The ten video inputs are numbered 1 to 10. For inputs 1 through 9, press the “Inpu ” button and then press the
corresponding number button on the remote. For input 10, press the “Inpu ” button, then the “0” button
Shortcut:
If the menu is not displayed on the screen, inputs 1 through 10 can be selected
by just pressing the corresponding number button on the remote.
I desired, the “Inpu ” button can be programmed to display a screen with the inputs listed as a menu-table. Then
the desired input can be selected either with the number keys, or by using the arrow keys to highlight the desired
input and then pressing the OK button. The command to enable the input menu is:
MENU → O her → Menu con rol→ Menu Op ions → Inpu Menu → (Off, On)
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), the memory type remains unchanged when a new input is selected. (i.e.
I input 2 memory B is active, pressing “Inpu , 3” selects input 3 memory B).
Input Aspect Ratio Selection
The input source aspect ratio can be selected by pressing the 4:3, LBOX, 16:9, 1.85, or 2.35 button. To use the
NLS eature, press “4:3, NLS”, “16:9, NLS”, or “1.85, NLS”.
• Use 4:3 or standard de inition ull-screen material.
• Use LBOX or “letterbox” standard de inition material, such as analog-television movies shown with black
bars above and below the image.
• Use 16:9 or material labeled as “Enhanced or 16:9 televisions”.
• Use 1.85 or material labeled as “Aspect ratio 1.85”.
• Use ‘Al ’ 1.85 or material that is “Aspect ratio 1.85 letterboxed in a 16:9 (1.78) window”.
• Use 2.35 or material labeled as “Aspect ratio 2.35”.
• 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.
NOT :
Make sure the “display aspect ratio” setting is 16:9 in the setup menu of all video
sources (e.g. DVD players or set top boxes), even 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 and the
 arrow button zooms out.
