Radiance 2123 and 2143, Rev 041614

Section 1 – Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Lumagen

Radiance™ video processor. The award winning Lumagen Radiance

video processor family boasts the highest-performance video switching, processing and calibration available.

This makes it ideal for premium quality high-definition home and commercial theater applications.

Lumagen’s Radiance series refines and enhances the video images presented by high definition front

projectors, top-level rear-screen and flat-panel displays.
The Radiance family offers 10-bit front-end, and 12-bit back-end, processing, per-pixel standard definition

(SD) and high definition (HD) video de-interlacing with adaptive diagonal filtering, No-Ring™ scaling

technology that does not add ringing (unlike competing products), MPEG mosquito and block artifact
reduction plus “3D” temporal noise reduction for both SD and HD sources. It supports HDMI

1.4 “3D” and

uncompressed audio formats for Dolby-Digital TrueHD™ and DTS Master-Audio™ bitstream formats.
At the same time Radiance processors can function as a central switching hub for the audio video system.

For these reasons, the Radiance™ processor family sets the industry benchmark for switching, calibration

and video processing performance.
