5348 Whitepaper

Radiance Pro 5348 Introduction January 24, 2021
We are currently recommending the Keces P8 single output linear power supply (12 VDC at
8 Amps) if you want to test with an external linear power supply. There are other good
linear power supplier vendors.
Will there be more models in the Radiance Pro 5000 series?
We are considering adding an additional 5XXX version to the 5000 series product line. We
are not ready to discuss details.
Are the Radiance Pro 4XXX and 5XXX configuration files interchangeable?
Yes, the configuration data can be transferred between the 4XXX and 5XXX units. So, you
can download the configuration from a 4XXX you are trading in and upload it to a 5XXX
unit. The 4XXX setup and calibration would then be available in the 5XXX model without
additional effort.
I don’t own a video processor, why should I consider the Radiance Pro 5348?
The Radiance Pro family of video processor has the best feature set, the best scaling, the
best HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping (DTM), the best image enhancement, the best image-
based auto aspect selection, and the lowest electrical noise and jitter on its output. We have
had many people describe the Radiance Pro as the Swiss army knife of video processors.
Just about whatever setup feature your theater needs the Radiance Pro can help. Often the
Radiance Pro is the only way to solve a special system requirement.
Common comments include “my only regret is that I did not buy the Radiance Pro sooner,”
and “the Radiance Pro is the most important piece of equipment in my home theater.” One
producer who does post-production for a large movie studio said “the competition is not
even in the same league as the Radiance Pro.” We have had many of our dealers and
customers say that every projector needs a Radiance Pro to achieve the best user
experience and video quality. If you want to “See what the director intended™” then you
need a Radiance Pro video processor.
The Radiance Pro 5348 has all the features of the Radiance Pro 4XXX models and improves
on the electrical characteristics.
Please check the Radiance Pro brochure for more information.
Should I trade-in my Radiance Pro 4XXX for a Radiance Pro 5348?
For video quality my recommendation is that there is no immediate need to upgrade from a
Radiance Pro 4XXX model to the Radiance Pro 5348. The 5348 may have a slight edge in
lower background noise in a DiLA or LCOS projector, but the difference would be small and
potentially not visible at viewing distance.
If you have lock-on issues due to marginal cabling, or a marginal projector input design,
(both are common in our experience), then the addition of the output buffers in the 5348,
and the slightly slower output edge rate, may help. So, for this case it is worth considering
an upgrade. I plan to have a small number of units that can be sent out to test this. We
would require a deposit, and assurance the unit would be purchased or returned.
