Radiance Pro 4446-18G. 8x4 all 18 GHz I/O cards. Rack-ears (1U) included

The Radiance Pro family offers up to eight inputs, and four outputs, plus a multitude of essential setup and calibration features. More than just an HDMI switcher, the Radiance Pro has a host of feature to improve the image on your screen and is considered by many experts to be an essential part of any quality home theater.

Fast switching is an essential part of a 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, 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’s and audio processors can be used with 4k sources.

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. Unlike other technology Lumagen’s NoRing scaling does not add "halos" around edges caused by the ringing in other algorithms.

Reference quality colorimetry is an often-overlooked part of a quality home theater. Automated audio room equalization has become common place.The Radiance Pro can provide automated video equalization, using third party calibration software, 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 important features include the best quality anamorphic screen support for HD and 4k UHD sources with or without an anamorphiclens. Internally calculated HDR10 and HLG Dynamic Tone Mapping (DTM), for the best quality HDR viewing on a projector or a TV. Precise geometry adjustments including size, masking, and vertical keystone correction are also available. The Radiance Pro’s Non-Linear-Stretch (NLS) feature allows the user to modify HD 16:9 sources in a user customizable way to fill an anamorphic screen. For 16:9 screens and TVs, an anamorphic image can be placed anywhere in the active screen area. Multiple output configuration memories allow for features such as day and night optimization, and up to two displays and/or projectors in a single system.
