Has level setting from 0-7 (7 being extreme sharpening) and a sensitivity setting which can be set to High or Norm (the High setting avoids sharpening low level changes). You can also access sharpening with right arrow command if you set the option under Other: I/O Setup: Remote Ctl: R/Left arrows option for this. Several improvements in FPGA have improved pixel precision especially for 1080 being upscaled to 4k. Fix for DTM with some fast scene changes causing distracting color change (problem originally seem in Umbrella Academy with bright clouds in background). Fix for menu command to reset all settings except CMS. Fix for being unable to copy input settings to virtual inputs. Please continue giving us your detailed feedback on issues via email at support@lumagen.com . Update time ~5 minutes @230k from previous firmware. Updated my Radiance Pro yesterday (my first update) and all went well. Superb is all that I can say. The sharpening feature is working a treat. What a product, where it just gets better AFTER you purchase it ...... many on AVS forum are now saying that the Lumagen has just leap-frogged the MadVR !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP1 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I also updated Lumagen software and wow! I can only echo @MrC 's comments about how good it is to have a product that keeps getting better after you buy it (and for no cost!) Firstly the scaling, this is a significant improvement. I am now going to set Lumagen to do all scaling up to 4K - Nothing I have tried was able to rival the 760ES scaling until now. With Lumagen, you would be forgiven for thinking that 1080 images are 4K. It just gets better from there with Lumagen's sharpening dialled in. I am not generally a fan of sharpening controls but this doesn't seem to have the usual drawbacks if used sensibly. The difference to an image is obvious and you notice more of the details, like the weave of a coat, leaves on trees etc. While standing quite close to the screen, I did notice more artefacts when I dialled up the sharpening to higher levels, however these disappeared after switching the sensitivity mode to 'high'. Still a lot to learn about this but pretty happy overall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooferocau Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 For 1080P up scaled try this combo.......Darbee - Gain "25" / HD ....... Sharpening - "3" / HIGH Sens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that something Lumagen are offering to encourage sales / simplify setup, make it more appealing? Do you just get details of projector throw etc?

Hi Mobe1969 The calibration program is designed to make the user experience better by taking the guess work out of the setup. Somebody comes to your home and sets the processor up into your system and optimises the picture. We want to reduce barriers to ownership so more people are able to experience how great a lumagen can make their picture. Geoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does that include calibration of the display, or at least setting the required settings on the projector for the Lumagen (eg HDR auto off, gamma, etc), or measuring it for a 3d LUT load for the Lumagen?

Good question ... as a current owner I applaud the initiative to assist future owners of a Lumagen Radiance Pro. However, there needs to be some transparency about what this offer is, what it would normally cost and what will be the total cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that’s is correct, all settings optimized to obtain the best picture quality from the Lumagen on your display. There is no cost to you for the calibration. Its a value added Bonus.

Administrator Marc Posted October 7, 2020 Administrator Share Posted October 7, 2020 This is the full service guys. Imagine you've just bought a new projector and a Lumagen. An ISF Calibrator (and I can say @Clarity Calibration is one of those who will be doing many of these as part of the program) will come out, configure the PJ and Lumagen, then perform a full calibration service. This is included in the cost of the Lumagen purchase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooferocau Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 The "Free" calibration/setup being offered to all who purchase a new Radiance Pro is a VERY generous offer. For "many" it will also will take away the apprehension of a purchase due to the concern of setup .. Well done to all involved... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This offer gives me the confidence to know that my clients will get what they are paying for. Ease of use and through specialist installation and calibration is important to all of us. I am really happy to offer set up and calibration by Tony @Clarity Calibration with all new Lumagen processor purchases. Please get in touch with me about your setup as I will be providing whole system calibration. Kind regards Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi MrC You should expect to pay $795 - $999 for a Lumagen Radiance Pro set up and calibration onto a single visual product. The Lumagen listed prices have not increased with the announcement of this offer, This genuinely a free service provided to you - the end user for a period of time. The offer I make is that there is no additional costs beyond the purchase of the Lumagen - unless you want to buy something else, like a better cable etc. My recommendation is that, if interested SNA members send me a list of the products you have and I will give you a total figure for the Lumagen calibrated to the whole system. No hidden extras, its not a foot in the door offer but instead a total solution Kind regards Geoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in your thoughts on the LPSU affect on both Audio and Video with the Lumagen. Also whether any change after a few days of "burn in". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
