RadiancePro™
Configurations
Beaverton Oregon,
July 9, 2020 — Lumagen®, Inc., a specialist in the
design and manufacture of products for the home and corporate theater
markets, today announced the addition of the RadiancePro™ configurations to it's video
processor family.
We are excited to announce the Radiance Pro 4244 (six
input, two output), and the Radiance Pro 4246 (eight input, two output),
configurations. We had dealers asking for more inputs than the four the 4242
supports, but with only two outputs to keep cost down. The Radiance Pro
4244, and 4246, fulfill this request, and fill the price gap between the
4242-18G, and the 4446+. The 4244 and 4246 use the 444X main board, but
chips responsible for the additional two outputs, and PiP/PoP, are
depopulated to save manufacturing cost. So, as with the 424X models, the
4244 and 4246 will never support PiP/PoP.
The Radiance Pro 4244 and 4246 configurations are available for immediate
sale.

The 424X models are housed in a 1U rack mountable case, and have all the
processing features of the 444X series, except PiP/PoP will not be offered
for the 424X series. This includes using the same dual-input and dual-output
modules for the HDMI inputs and outputs. Below is a drawing of the back side
for your reference.
Note that like the Radiance Pro 444X models, the hardware for the Radiance
Pro 424X models is at Production Status, and the Software is at Beta status.
Once Production Software is available a software update will be all that is
needed to take a Radiance Pro to full production status.

Lumagen Announces HDMI to CAT-6 Extender
June 30, 2010--- Lumagen, Inc. a leader in video processor technology is
announcing a new line of HDMI extender products. The first products in the
series are a HDMI to CAT-6 extender, and a HDMI to HDMI repeater.
Jim Peterson, Lumagen’s President, stated “We decided
to add HDMI extender products to our portfolio because we had so many calls
from our dealers about the failure of competitive HDMI extender products to
work reliably. Our HDMI extender products are designed to be the most
robust, and reliable, in the industry. Our HDMI extenders are already
proving themselves by solving HDMI transmission issues in systems where
other well regarded competitive products have failed.”
The HDMI-CAT6 extender provides buffering not only for
the video signals but also the DDC control signals, allowing reliable
transmission distances at 1080p60 of over 50 meters total distance from
source to destination. Many competitive products buffer video in the
receiver only, and have no buffering at all for the DDC signals used for the
HDCP/EDID interface. Lumagen estimates that about 1/3 of the support calls
it receives concerning the failure of competitive HDMI extenders relate to
the failure of the HDCP/EDID signals. To overcome this limitation Lumagen
buffers both the video and control signals in both the transmitter and
receiver boxes. This means the HDMI input cable to the transmitter box is
isolated and buffered from the CAT cable between the transmitter and
receiver which in turn is isolated and buffered from the receivers output
HDMI cable. This design increases the maximum reliable transmission distance
from the source to the destination device. Lumagen has demonstrated reliable
operation in the lab with 30 meters of HDMI 1.3 cable from the source to the
HDMI-CAT6 transmitter, plus 30 meters of CAT6 cable from the transmitter to
the receiver, plus a 2-meter HDMI cable from the receiver to the display, at
1080p60.
The HDMI-HDMI repeater can recover and buffer HDMI
signals using 30 meters of 22 AWG HDMI cable. Like the Lumagen HDMI-CAT6
product, the HDMI-HDMI repeater buffers both video and control signals,
maximizing reliable cable length.
The HDMI-CAT6 is in production and available
immediately. The HDMI-HDMI is slated for July production.
About Lumagen: Founded in 2001, Lumagen has been
bringing significant new technology to the video processing and distribution
market since 2003. Lumagen has taken this strong position in the video
processing market using its proprietary software and hardware algorithms to
provide the best quality, setup features, and calibration in the industry.
