See What the Director Intended ™

The Radiance Pro™ series supports 4k60 inputs, and outputs, including HDCP 2.3, HDR10, and HLG, and is compatible with Dolby® LLDV™ sources. Winner of a Home Cinema Choice™ Best of 2021 award, and a Best Video Product award in Australia in 2021, the Radiance Pro is not standing still. Lumagen is adding to its 22-year legacy of video processor development by continuing to enhance features and algorithms, and adding a single-input, single-output model for those who would like to place the Radiance Pro after the AV switching.

The Radiance Pro series of video processors offers up to ten inputs, four outputs, and a multitude of video 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 cinema.

Optimizing HDR content has perhaps become the most important video processing feature. The Radiance Pro Dynamic Tone Mapping (DTM) analyzes multiple regions of every frame of content, detects scene changes, and optimizes the image 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 options. He said that “the other DTM options are not even in the same league as the Radiance Pro.”

Scaling quality again comes to the forefront with the 4k projectors and televisions. It should be intuitively obvious that home cinema scaling must be evaluated at viewing distance using actual moving image video content. The Tektronix PQA600C quantitative image analysis program is used by major studios and broadcast networks and includes 30 years of development by perception physicists. It includes viewing distance in its evaluation of scaling. The Radiance Pro has the industry’s best motion picture scaling and scores more than 20% higher than the competition using the Tektronix analysis software. Lumagen’s 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 an edge-sharpening feature that helps restore detail lost during compression of the digital content.

Minimizing signal jitter is an extremely important criteria for HDMI. The Radiance Pro 5XXX series HDMI output clock jitter has been measured at about 10 pS. This is an ideal clock to send to the audio processor to minimize jitter at the DACs. Reduced jitter at the DAC reduces distortion. Lumagen has many reports of the 5XXX significantly improving audio due to this ultra-low jitter HDMI output.

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, with more accuracy than calibration without a 3D LUT. Using the Radiance Pro’s DTM, and Color Management System, you can See what the director intended™.

Other features include image-based instant-auto-aspect detection and selection for HD, 3D, and 4k UHD and HDR sources. Anamorphic support 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 zoom, and/or cropping, can fill a larger portion of the screen. Multiple configuration memories allow for different independent configurations, such as day, night, sports, and black-and-white.

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. The Radiance Pro is adding new features over time. One example is HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping was added four years after product introduction and is available to all Radiance Pro owners by simply updating to the latest free release.

The end to one of the most epic runs on ANY superhero character
Format: Hardcover
Way back when Grant Morrison first took over writing on Batman, you could begin to sense the epic storytelling approach he was going to have on this book. And boy did he ever. From way back then with introduction of Damian, to Bruce Wayne being stuck in time, a new dynamic duo in Dick Grayson as Batman and Damian as the new Robin, every area has been fun to read. This volume and The Return of Bruce Wayne (which should be read injunction with this book) mark a great exclamation point for Grant's run on these character. Yes I know, we now have Batman Incorporated. But as of this writing, Batman INC has been put on hiatus due to the New 52 being implemented at DC Comics. While difficult to follow without a flow chart, this book really culminated the past almost three years of stories that Grant has been building up. And all is done with such drama and action, your fingers can't wait to turn the page!

The New Era of Batman Begins NOW
Format: Hardcover
I just finished reading Batman and Robin: Batman and Robin Must Die- the deluxe edition by Grant Morrison. This book, collecting issues 13-16 of the series and the special Batman: The Return, is so good it almost makes up for the goofball s pectacle of Bruce Wayne dying and hurtling through time to fight sentient organic robots or something. I still don't get what the f*** was going on there. Not enough acid in the world... The entire city of Gotham made fiending addicts by a new airborne virus, the new Batman and Robin of Dick Grayson and Damien Wayne are overwhelmed by the scope of the problem. Throw in an allegedly reformed Joker masquerading as a detective, and a morbidly obese psychopath in a pig mask squealing with delight at his own torture and you have a dark return to form for the Bat-books which have been marred in self-indulgent existential nonsense for far too long. The art is lush and cinematic, each panel more gorgeous than the last. The highlight of the issue for any long-term Bat fan HAS to be the scene with the latest incantation of Robin locked in an interrogation room with the Joker, beating him within an inch of his life with a crowbar. Both an allusion to the Joker's murder of Jason Todd from back in the 80's and the classic interrogation scene from The Dark Knight, this entire scene hums with the fierce energy of live wires. Then Batman (Bruce Wayne... the "real" Batman) shows up and takes this series in an entirely new direction than has ever been attempted before. This isn't just some comic book, it is pop art of the finest caliber. Make sure to purchase the deluxe edition for delicious insights into the decisions made regarding characters and plots points, selections which were anything but arbitrary. Grade: A+

Fantastic End to the Final Crisis Arc with Grant Morrison
Format: Paperback
Some of Morrison's best work, bar none. While The Return of Bruce Wayne in my opinion is the best of the Batman and Robin Volume 1-3 and Return of Bruce Wayne post-Final Crisis arc, this is also an excellent read / end to the Dick and Damian trilogy. The artwork is varied, eerie, phenomenal, though I recognize it is a love-it-or-hate-it style for some. Overall, I highly recommend this series, and this volume in particular is electrifying (ha!)

I really want to love it... but the art...
Format: Hardcover
Batman and Robin, Vol 3: Batman & Robin Must Die include Batman and Robin #13-16, Batman the Return #, and concludes the Grant Morrison trilogy in B&R. The story here is great and I really want to love the comic, but the art makes some of this comic so hard to read. The majority of the art is done by Frazer Irving and if you have not seen any of his art search Frazer Irving Batman and see if you can stand it. If you can, read this comic. The story line is great, the villains are fantastic, the art gets better. I don't always hate Frazer Irving's art, in fact, I quite liked it for Klarion the Witch Boy in Seven Soldiers of Victory (another great comic) but in B&R I cannot stand it. At least I know that it is only a short time in the overall arc and that the story is so good that it makes it worth it. If you like Grant Morrison's Batman or don't mind the art, for sure read this. One last thing, events in this comic intersect with Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne which should be read before reading B&R #15 to avoid spoilers. I generally read Vol 1 , Vol 2, Batman: TROBW, then Vol 3. This is only if you want the full Grant Morrison Batman arc detailed below. Pros: -B&R are still great -Story is fantastic -Grant Morrison Cons: -Grant Morrison -Frazer Irving's Art -Relatively Short *Morrison's Story Arc is as follows: Batman and Son (Included in Black Glove Deluxe Edition) Batman: The Black Glove Batman: RIP Batman: Batman and Time (or Final Crisis but still needs 701 and 702) Batman and Robin Volume 1-3 Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne (Technically happens during Batman and Robin Volumes 1 and 2) Batman Incorporated (and Leviathan Strikes) Batman Incorporated Vol 1: Demon Star (New 52) Batman Incorporated Vol 2: Gotham's Most Wanted (New 52) A readers guide to Grant Morrison's Batman is a great help if you are looking at the whole series.

The Conclusion to an Excellent Story
Format: Hardcover
This is the third and final book of Batman and Robin in Grant Morrison's Batman RIP to Return of Bruce Wayne storyline. In this book you get a lot of kudos heading towards Dick from both Alfred and Jim Gordan. You also get some very interesting inter-play between Dick and The Joker (from Dick stating he's had the Joker figured out since he was 12 and the Joker stating that Dick was too similar to himself to be fun). On the other hand, some of the things done by Dick seem odd. He was captured by Hurt. How did he expect to escape being shot in the head? He left Damian alone with the Joker. He said he understood the Joker but was then unsure if the Joker was helping him or not. Nothing major, just some things I didn't like. The story on a whole was excellent and a good conclusion. About the only thing I disliked a lot was the art work. The other 2 books were a lot better in this regard. Buy it for the story, not the art.
