Sencore, Lumagen Create Strategic Partnership    Jul 3, 2008

 

Sencore and Lumagen have formed a strategic partnership to provide the highest quality video in the

commercial AV markets. The idea behind pairing Lumagen's Radiance series video processors and

Sencore's calibration tools is to enable integrators to completely implement video systems and correct

many built-in problems in video displays.

 

The RadianceXD is a video processor and switcher that supports 18 video inputs: six 1080p 60-capable

HDMI with HDCP, four SD/HD components, four S-video, and four composite. The RadianceXD features

two HDMI outputs at resolutions up to 1920 x 1080, at 60-Hertz (1080p 60).

 

The Radiance family of products offers 10-bit processing, per-pixel standard definition (SD) and high

definition (HD) video de-interlacing with adaptive diagonal filtering, edge-enhancing scaling technology

that does not add ringing. Additional important image quality features include temporal noise reduction

for both SD and HD sources, and extensive calibration options.

 

Teaming the Sencore VideoPro generator and ColorPro color analyzer with the Radiance allows 11-step

parametric grayscale and gamma calibration and full color space correction, independently at all primary

and secondary points.

 

“These are perfectly matched technologies that play off of each other’s strengths, creating an integrated

solution that AV integrators previously have not been able to address without highly specialized personnel

and materials," stated Al Bowden, Sencore’s CEO. "We are looking forward to working together with such

a high-quality partner company, especially with the caliber of people like Jim Peterson, who has set the bar

for quality in the video processor industry.”

Lumagen’s founder, Jim Peterson, added that by integrating the Radiance family of video processors with

Sencore Calibration Tools, "display optimization can be done precisely and quickly using Sencore’s user

friendly GUI. The Sencore-Lumagen partnership allows Lumagen to focus on product improvements, while

Sencore provides the five-star support that they are known for,” he stated.
