Composite and SVideo inputs automatically select between NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats. The component,
RGB and HDMI inputs accept SD, ED and HD video at 24, 50 or 59.94 Hertz. HDCP encryption is supported
for the HDMI inputs. This is not just a “pass-through” function. If the signal is encrypted, the HDMI inputs
are decrypted, processed, scaled and then re-encrypted for output as HDMI. For HDCP encrypted inputs, a
HDCP capable display is required.
If the video input is interlaced, it is first deinterlaced into a progressive format. 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 for the display.
As part of the scaling process, digital filtering is used to enhance the image detail. This enhancement allows
standard definition inputs, such as DVDs, to appear to be much higher resolution. This is especially valuable
when standard-definition sources are viewed on the large screen sizes common in home theaters.
Commands can be sent to the Radiance by infrared remote or via the serial RS232 port. The RS232 port is
used for software updates. Setup is done with the on-screen menu. User functions (e.g. select input) use
direct commands.
Configuration Memories
To understand how the Radiance functions, it is important to note that setup and calibration parameters are
split into “input memories” and “output configurations.” Input memories control video source setup. Output
configurations control display setup and calibration and are specified by selecting a Mode, CMS and Style for
each input, input User memory, input resolution, and 2D/3D input.
The Radiance has four input memories (MEMA, MEMB, MEMC and MEMD). Each input memory has eight
sub-memories that are automatically selected for input resolutions of 480, 576, 720p, 1080i50, 1080i60,
1080p24, 1080p60 and Other. The “Other” memory is reserved as a “catch-all” for unspecified resolutions.
The following applies to software revision 102910, and later revisions: Each Input sub-resolution memory
can be independently linked to any one of the (8) output modes, (8) CMS and (8) Style memories. They
store setup data for the video display setup and calibration. In the factory default condition all input sub-
resolution memories are linked to “Mode 0,” “CMS 0,” and “Style 0.” To change these enter MENU →
Output → Output Setup → (2D/3D) → OK → (Mode, CMS, Style). These settings can be changed for
each input sub-resolution memory. To “Save” new settings, enter MENU → Save → Save → OK.
