The Lumagen ArtisaN 8K-READY video processor is designed for home cinema use and offers video processing capabilities that support up to 8K60 and 4K120. The Artisan includes support for HDCP 2.3, HDR10, and HLG, and is compatible with Dolby LLDV sources. It features eight inputs, two outputs, and a range of video processing, setup, and calibration options. A new backlit remote and rack ears are included. At launch the ArtisaN will support up to 4K60 processing on all inputs and outputs. Upgrade options that will become available shortly after are: Add Lumagen's HDMI 2.1, 8K and 4K120 Input & Output Passthrough (switching only) Upgrade for $500 (USD) Upgrade to the full Artisan 8K version. This includes Lumagen's HDMI 2.1, 8K and 4K120 Input & Output Processing for $2,000 (USD) The Artisan builds upon Lumagen's Radiance Pro series, maintaining all the existing features of that series while adding new functionality. One such feature is the ability to control Seymour-Screen Excellence's masking systems. Lumagen's proprietary Dynamic Tone Mapping (DTM) technology, which optimizes images on a per-frame basis, has been refined for the Artisan. The new processor also addresses scaling quality for 8K projectors and televisions, using Tektronix PQA600C analysis software for various video resolutions, including 4K and lower. An edge-sharpening feature is included to restore detail lost during compression. To reduce HDMI output clock jitter, the Artisan uses specialized circuitry similar to the Radiance Pro 5244/5348, which is said to improve audio quality by minimizing distortion at the DACs. The processor uses FPGA technology to allow for future upgrades. Interested in pre-ordering a Lumagen ArtisaN or have questions?

We have in stock a vast selection of 9" tubes, from light wear to really good used condition, as well as a couple of NOS (new old stock) tubes still in boxes. We are now officially sold out of all projector parts with the exception of Barco 909/Runco DTV 1200 models, and no longer have any complete sets to sell, sorry! We have started listing all remaining parts through our ebay listings, however a 20% discount applies if you buy outside of ebay. For boards we will combine shipping but tubes must be shipped in individual boxes to reduce the risk of damage in transit. Coming soon to our ebay listings will also be a Barco 909 test chassis that will include the following: Barco chassis, less a working controller module (the one in the set powers up but has some adjustment issues). Two of the CRT video amplifiers are also missing. An (almost) one of a kind Barco module extender board that allows the tray under the tubes/lenses to come out for servicing. An original Barco 909 service manual, with notes in it from Curt. As many defective 909 boards as you want. Most can be repaired, some have been robbed of some parts. A 'regular' module extender kit, to bring all other modules up and out of the card cage for servicing. Email Curt for details for any of the above, and check our ebay listings often as new items will be added periodically as we clean house, including approximately 30 more tubes, additional CRT parts, and original service manuals. There are still lots of Barco 909s out there in the field, so if you want to take on the worldwide servicing of these projectors (or service your own) this is a great way to do it.  A big thank you to everyone that has supported our CRT projector sales and servicing over the last few decades! When we discovered ebay in 1999, we never expected to turn our love of CRT projectors into an actual business, let alone travel all over North America seeing all sorts of great home and commercial CRT installations.

What sets the Radiance Pro 5XXX series apart from previous 4XXX models is the electrical improvements in the design. While using the same HDMI chips, and FPGA, the use of linear regulators for 28 critical power supplies, and the addition of an HDMI dejitter output buffer, has dramatically reduced output jitter and noise. The use of Faraday cages for all nine DC-to-DC switching-regulators dramatically reduces EMI. As an example, the current 18 GHz Rev 1.4 output card in a 4XXX has a HDMI data jitter of about 80 pS (HDMI specification requires 102 pS or less for 18 GHz). In comparison the measured HDMI output data jitter on the Radiance Pro 5XXX is 45 pS, or just about half. More importantly for audio, the HDMI output clock jitter has been measured at about 10 pS. This is a nearly ideal clock to send to the audio processor. People have asked if reduced jitter and electrical noise matters. Yes, it does. Based on A-to-B testing with the Lumagen Demo Theater’s Trinnov Altitude 16, the Radiance Pro 5XXX does make a significant improvement for appropriate content (e.g. Greatest Showman “Never Enough”). Some have asked about the current 4XXX product line: “The Radiance Pro does not process audio. So how come audio sounds better when it is running through the Radiance Pro?” The difference is lower jitter and reduced electrical noise. The Radiance Pro 4XXX output jitter and electrical noise are already dramatically better than other products we know about, but the 5XXX takes jitter and noise reduction to what we consider is the ultimate audiophile level. For complete details see our Radiance order page. About the Radiance Pro Looking to add the best video processor available today to your high end 4K / HDR home theater? The Lumagen Radiance Pro is what you need to ensure the best image quality possible. The Radiance Pro series improves on the award-winning Radiance video processor family by adding support for 4k60 inputs, and outputs, including HDCP 2.2, HDR10, and HLG. Winner of a CEPro Best of 2015 award, and a Best Video Product award in Australia in 2019, the Radiance Pro is not standing still. Lumagen is adding to its 20-year legacy of video processor development by continuing to enhance features and algorithms with software updates.  The Radiance Pro family offers up to ten inputs, four outputs, and a multitude of processing, setup, and calibration features. Much more than an HDMI switcher, the Radiance Pro has a host of features to improve the image on your screen. It is considered by many experts to be an essential part of any quality home theater. Optimizing HDR content has perhaps become the most important video processing feature. The Radiance Pro Dynamic Tone Mapping (DTM) analyzes every frame of content for multiple regions of each frame, detects scene changes, and optimizes the “transfer function” for each frame of content. Jon Thompson, a movie producer who is responsible for post-production image quality at a major studio, recently evaluated the Radiance Pro DTM versus the other DTM options. He said that "the other DTM options are not even in the same league as the Radiance Pro." 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. Scaling is also essential for aspect-ratio control, especially when using an anamorphic lens. In addition, the Radiance Pro has a edge-sharpening feature that helps restore detail lost during compression of the digital content. Reference quality colorimetry is often overlooked as part of a high-end home theater. The Radiance Pro can provide automated video equalization, using third party calibration software, with more accuracy than calibration without a 3D LUT. Using the Radiance Pro’s Color Management System, you can see what the director intended. Other features include anamorphic screen support for HD, 3D, and 4k UHD and HDR sources, with or without an anamorphic lens. Image based auto-aspect selection, plus precise geometry adjustments including size, and masking, are available. The Radiance Pro’s Non-Linear-Stretch (NLS) feature allows the user to stretch 16:9 content to fill an anamorphic screen using their preferred settings. For 16:9 screens and TVs, an anamorphic image can be placed anywhere in the active screen area, or with some zoom, and/or cropping, can fill a larger portion of the screen. Multiple configuration memories allow for multiple independent configurations, such as day, night, sports, and black-and-white. For 4XXX models, dual-port I/O cards can be upgraded from 9 GHz to 18 GHz in the field. The Radiance Pro 5XXX models have a fixed I/O configuration. The adaptability of the Radiance Pro is second to none. Using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology, the Radiance Pro can add hardware image processing and setup features long after installation. The Radiance Pro is adding new features over time. One example is HDR video, which did not even exist at introduction. DTM was added four years after product introduction and is available to all Radiance Pro owners by simply updating to the latest release. Your Radiance Pro’s feature-set and performance are "only as old as its most recent software release." Extra $500 off advanced auto-calibration package The $500 discount on our advanced auto-calibration package also applies to our Radiance Pro 5244 sale. Advanced auto-calibration allows anyone with little or no training to fully calibrate their display with almost no user input to almost 5000 points.

Email kal@curtpalme.com More Information »    Radiance extended warranties available October 22, 2021 Manufacturer extended warranties on Lumagen Radiance video processors are now available, taking the 1 year warranty to 5 years from the date it was shipped from Lumagen. The warranty terms and conditions are the same as before, and can be found in the first few pages of your Radiance manual. The only difference is that the time is extended from 1 year to 5. The extended warranty is transferrable to a new owner if the unit is sold. Available for units purchased new, units still under their 1 year warranty, and in some cases for units just out of warranty (at the manufacturer's discretion) assuming the unit is still functional. Accidental damage, such as from a power surge, is not covered. Interested? Please contact us with your Radiance model number for pricing.

Email kal@curtpalme.com More Information »    New Radiance Pro 4244/4246 models, revamped B-stock units July 22, 2020 We are excited to announce the Radiance Pro 4244 (six input, two output), and the Radiance Pro 4246 (eight input, two output). Customers have been asking for more inputs than the four the 4242 supports, but with only two outputs to keep cost down. The Radiance Pro 4244, and 4246, fulfill this request, and fill the price gap between the 4242 and the 4444. The 4244 and 4246 use the 444X main board, but chips responsible for the additional two outputs and picture in picture / picture on picture (PiP/PoP) have been removed to save manufacturing cost. So, as with the 424X models, the 4244 and 4246 do not support PiP/PoP. Like all other Radiance Pro units both models are available in various 9Ghz or 18Ghz HDMI port configurations, all of which support 4K resolution. These come with full 1 year manufacturer warranty and support. See our Radiance order page for complete details or to order. New B-stock units available New B-stock units are available but as aways supply is extremely limited. Includes a small number of 444X units that do not have the latest microwave capacitor improvements (only relevant for audio in our opinion, as jitter is a bit higher - video is fine by not having the microwave capacitors). We also have a small number of Radiance 2143 units left - perfect for a 1080p only setup where 4K isn't required. The 2143 has been discontinued so once these are gone they are gone for good as no more are being manufactured. Contact us for details and B-stock pricing. Extra $500 off advanced auto-calibration package The $500 discount on our advanced auto-calibration package still applies to these new Radiance Pro models, same as all other Radiance Pro units (including B-stock).

More Information »    New Radiance Pro Models January 31, 2018 The new Radiance Pro 424X-C (compact model): Same features, smaller footprint Radiance Pro 424X-C Over the past months Lumagen has been asked for a smaller version of the Radiance Pro for use in smaller systems, such as bedrooms that have limited space, or small enough to easily carry to a calibration job. Because of these requests they have added two new Radiance Pro units to the line-up: The Radiance Pro 4240-C and 4242-C (pictures above). The "-C" stands for "compact". The 424X-C units are identical in hardware and function, and uses the same software, as current Radiance Pro 424X models. The only difference is the size: These new units are 11.3"W x 5.25"D x 1.75"H while the full size models which are 17"W x 10"D x 1.75"H. The front is similar to the Radiance 2020 except the IR sensor and LED have moved, and there is a Radiance Pro logo added. The back looks like the connector portion of the full sized Radiance Pro 424X. Pricing remains the same as the existing 424X models (while the case is smaller, the cost is dominated by manufacturing labor and production volume, and not material). 18 GHz upgrades are still available just like the current 4XXX models. These new units are perfect for use with 4K panels where space may be limited but you still want perfect video and calibration. Our limited time $500 off discount on our advanced auto-calibration package still applies to these two new models, same as all other Radiance Pro units. Advanced auto-calibration allows anyone with little or no training to fully calibrate their display with almost no user input to almost 5000 points. It adjusts the display's grayscale, gamma, and colours to levels of accuracy that are simply not achievable by manual (hands on) methods. Just setup a few simple options in ChromaPure software, click "Auto-Calibrate", and then go have a cup of coffee while the process completes, usually in a few minutes. There is no need for the user to understand how calibration works. Suitable for all display types. Radiance Pro 444X-1U Lumagen has decided to transition to a 1U (1.75" height) case for all Radiance Pro products, so they have introduced Radiance Pro 444X-1U models. The 2U (3.5" height) chassis will remain the standard model until stock is gone. If you prefer a 1U version, let us know at the time of order. Radiance 214X price drops Effective immediately Radiance 2143/2144 prices have been dropped significantly, placing them $200 lower than the previous 2123/2124 prices! The Radiance 2123 and 2124 have now been discontinued. Like the Radiance 2020, supply on remaining 2144/2143 units is low. Once these are sold Lumagen will not be building more. Focus will be on the 4K/HDR capable Radiance Pro series. For a complete breakdown of how these Radiance units compare to other models, see our Radiance feature comparison table. Questions?

I have 5 in stock, and the tube condition and lenses will vary. I just took in a bunch of Barco 1209s projectors on trade, including a couple that have very low hour tubes in them, so I will be retubing the sets that I have, and will price them from $1500-$3000 USD, depending on tube condition and the type of lenses on them. I have two sets of the top of the line HFQ900 lenses, as well as the more standard GT17 lenses, and a few sets of the small screen HD10L ones as well. I do also have red and green colored C elements that can be added to any of these 909s. If you’re interested send me an email, and I will contact you as I work through the projectors, between Christmas and New Years. Remotes are included, ceiling brackets are not. I do have two ceiling brackets available at $150 USD each if you need them. The 909 is the pinnacle of CRT, and I personally use two 909s in a stacked configuration in my own 10' wide theater. CRT Projector Parts Blowout I am liquidating many projector parts and tubes as following: Boards are $15 USD each plus shipping, minimum order 4 boards. Boards are untested, but were working when put on the shelf. I will not knowingly sell defective boards here, in fact I'll throw a defective board in as a freebie if you want it, as I do have some that are clearly marked as having issues. The $15 each also applies to whatever tubes I have here for 8" sets. Reds will be pristine, blues and greens may have some wear, but I will indicate such via email before I ship so you know what you're getting. I will ship tubes separately, they will get crushed if I pack them with PC boards.

Very useful for upgrading to LUG tubes while continuing to watch your existing set. *Most Marquee non Ultra CLMs will need the battery to be replaced, a new battery is NOT included in the $15 price. What is NOT included: Barco quadruplers and HV splitters Barco 909 chassis and derivatives thereof (Cine 9, Runco 1200, etc) Sony G90 parts Marquee Ultra boards of any kind Marquee LV and HV power supplies Most other 9" parts I will also sell a limited selection of Barco HV quadruplers and HV splitters at $75 each untested, or $100 each, tested for 24 hours in a chassis prior to shipping. I have about 5 of each available. Please email me, indicating what you're interested in. It will take me some time to respond, but I can deal with most requests to get them out before Christmas. I will be working in the shop like a madman all through the holidays to catch up on my backlog as well. My sound company day job (www.soundsolutionscanada.com) has had me very busy since the beginning of June, but it's finally starting to slow down, giving me time to process CRT parts and projector orders. This is a great way to stock up on spare boards, some of which are getting hard to find. I will still support CRT until the last one is pulled out of service/ (That will be my own two 909s on my ceiling!). I still have test chassis, and still do many repairs of boards every month.
