Limited supply of Radiance Pro B-stock units available



We have a limited number of discounted Radiance Pro B-stock units available from the 4240 all the way up to the 5348. Pricing is too low to advertise so please contact us at kal@CurtPalme.com for details. Functionality is identical to new (A-stock) units, these are simply open box or gently used. They have all been reviewed / tested by the manufacturer and ship directly from them with full support and 2-year warranty just like new (A-stock) units. Optional extended warranty up to 5 years also available. Supply is extremely limited. These do not come up often and the popular models always sell out quickly!

Looking to add the best video processor available today to your high end 4K / HDR home theater or digital display? The Lumagen Radiance Pro is what you need to ensure the best image quality possible.

The Radiance Pro series improves on the award-winning Radiance video processor family by adding support for 4k60 inputs, and outputs, including HDCP 2.2, HDR10, and HLG. Winner of a CEPro Best of 2015 award, and a Best Video Product award in Australia in 2019, the Radiance Pro is not standing still. Lumagen is adding to its 20-year legacy of video processor development by continuing to enhance features and algorithms with software updates. The Radiance Pro family offers up to ten inputs, four outputs, and a multitude of processing, setup, and calibration features. Much more than an HDMI switcher, the Radiance Pro has a host of features to improve the image on your screen. It is considered by many experts to be an essential part of any quality home theater.

Optimizing HDR content has perhaps become the most important video processing feature. The Radiance Pro Dynamic Tone Mapping (DTM) analyzes every frame of content for multiple regions of each frame, detects scene changes, and optimizes the “transfer function” for each frame of content. Jon Thompson, a movie producer who is responsible for post-production image quality at a major studio, recently evaluated the Radiance Pro DTM versus the other DTM options. He said that "the other DTM options are not even in the same league as the Radiance Pro." This is high praise coming from a movie production professional.



Scaling quality again comes to the forefront with the advent of 4k projectors and televisions. Lumagen’s NoRing™ scaling provides the best quality scaling for 1080, 720, and SD, sources for 4k projectors and TVs. Scaling is also essential for aspect-ratio control, especially when using an anamorphic lens. In addition, the Radiance Pro has a edge-sharpening feature that helps restore detail lost during compression of the digital content.

Fast switching is an essential part of any good home theater, and the Radiance Pro can significantly reduce the very long switching times that occur when using an AVR or audio processor for switching. Many people say they do not think switching time is an issue, that is until they experience the long lock-on times of many projectors. The Radiance Pro can be programmed to significantly reduce switching times. The Radiance Pro can split the video and audio, so a 1080p AVR or audio processor can be used with 4k HDCP 2.2 sources.

Reference quality colorimetry is often overlooked as part of a high-end home theater. The Radiance Pro can provide automated video equalization, using third party calibration software such as our ChromaPure auto-calibration package, with more accuracy than the non 3D LUT based calibration employed by television and projector manufacturers. With the Radiance Pro’s 4913-point 3D LUT based Color Management System you can See What the Director Intended™.

Other features include anamorphic screen support for HD, 3D, and 4k UHD and HDR sources, with or without an anamorphic lens. Image based auto-aspect selection, plus precise geometry adjustments including size, and masking, are available. The Radiance Pro’s Non-Linear-Stretch (NLS) feature allows the user to stretch 16:9 content to fill an anamorphic screen using their preferred settings. For 16:9 screens and TVs, an anamorphic image can be placed anywhere in the active screen area, or with some zoom, and/or cropping, can fill a larger portion of the screen. Multiple configuration memories allow for multiple independent configurations, such as day, night, sports, and black-and-white. For 4XXX models, dual-port I/O cards can be upgraded from 9 GHz to 18 GHz in the field. The Radiance Pro 5XXX models have a fixed I/O configuration.

The Radiance Pro’s Non-Linear-Stretch (NLS) feature allows the user to stretch 16:9 content to fill an anamorphic screen. For 16:9 screens and TVs, an anamorphic image can be placed anywhere in the active screen area or apply some zoom and crop to fill a larger portion of the screen. Multiple output configuration memories allow for features such as day/night, and black-and-white color temperature differences. Dual-port I/O cards (all 4XXX models) can be upgraded from 9 GHz to 18 GHz in the field. The Radiance Pro 5XXX has a fixed I/O configuration.

The adaptability of the Radiance Pro is second to none. Using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology, the Radiance Pro can add hardware image processing and setup features long after installation with a simple software update. Just as 3D video support was added to earlier Radiance models years after introduction, the Radiance Pro is adding new features over time. One example is DTM which was added four years after product introduction and is available to all Radiance Pro owners by updating to the latest release.

Extra $500 off ChromaPure advanced auto-calibration package

The $500 discount on our advanced auto-calibration package still applies to all Radiance Pro models in this sale, effectively saving you another $500. Includes a high end meter and all the software you need. Advanced auto-calibration allows anyone with little or no training to fully calibrate their display with almost no user input to almost 5000 points. It adjusts the display's grayscale, gamma, and colours to levels of accuracy that are simply not achievable by manual (hands on) methods. Just set up a few simple options in the included ChromaPure software, click "Auto-Calibrate", and then go have a cup of coffee while the process completes. There is no need for the user to understand how calibration works. Suitable for all display types.
