5348 Whitepaper

Radiance Pro 5348 Introduction January 24, 2021
If you do not order the 5348-USB with the LAN case, you can still upgrade. You would send
the unit in for us to do the change. In addition to the charge for the new microprocessor
board, we would charge for the LAN case bottom and the labor to do the swap.
Will the Radiance Pro 5348 support PiP/PoP?
The 5348 does not support PiP/PoP.
Will the Radiance Pro 5348 support 8k?
I believe 8k does not provide any visible image improvement for home theater, since at 1X
screen width viewing distance for 4k resolution, pixels are already below human visual
acuity. Some people still want to have 8k. I can say we have no plans for the 5348 to
process 8k. This is a due to the FPGA and HDMI chips used. However, we are considering an
I/O card upgrade to pass through 8k, if 8K HDMI chips become available to us. This is
possible since we changed the design so that input and output HDMI chips are on the same
circuit board.
Please keep in mind this is just a possibility and we are *not* committing to adding 8k pass-
through as a future upgrade. Consider the Radiance Pro 5348 a 4k product in your
purchase decision.
Will the Radiance Pro 5348 support “non-8K” HDMI 2.1 features?
The Radiance Pro 4XXX already has one HDMI 2.1 feature (HDMI info-frame low-latency
mode). So, while we do not refer to the Radiance Pro as a HDMI 2.1 device, according to the
HDMI specification it could be considered a HDMI 2.1 device.
We will be evaluating other “non-8K” HDMI 2.1 features to see if we should add them.
Does the Radiance Pro 5348 have a 12 VDC trigger output?
There is one standard 12 VDC trigger output for the Radiance Pro 5348. There is no option
for more than one 12 VDC trigger output.
Are rack ears included?
Rack-ears are included.
What power supply is included with the Radiance Pro 5348?
The Radiance Pro 5348 comes with the standard Radiance Pro 12 VDC power supply.
As a consumer product manufacturer, Lumagen cannot include a linear power supply.
I do recommend Radiance Pro 5348 owners consider a high quality external linear power
supply. An external linear power supply has been known to improve audio by isolating the
Radiance Pro digital electronics from wall power (reducing wall power noise to the amps),
and because it provides the cleanest possible power source to the Radiance Pro. You may
or may not notice the difference. So, weigh if it is worth the additional cost for a potential
audio improvement.
