Picked up a Radiance Pro recently. It's an older 2U chasis which is a minor shame, but at the price paid i felt worth it.
Sold as a 4446, it has 8 inputs and 4 outputs, no triggers or switched outputs. It only mentioned 9Ghz, however it appears to have 4 inputs at 18Ghz and 2 outputs at 18Ghz, so a bit of a win there.
Was running 010317 in terms of firmware which seems old and now upgraded and factory reset, as it was displaying in a strange window mode, but now filling the screen.
I've got it hooked up "wrong" in a quick and dirty after my processor way to test and get a feel for how things work and what it does before reworking my system. I've got a new audio processor to install too and getting covid has meant that Christmas will be delayed for when the GF comes over giving me some time to play with the new toys, so that's kinda a plus!
Got an Epson TW9400, 16:9 screen, so pretty basic there - I've done various manual calibrations on it in the past (HCFR) and have an OLD eecolour box that i use for 3D LUT (displaycal) for Bluray - Also got a Vertex for the Dolby Vision hack using an Apple TV / Sony x800 player
A Lumagen seemed the next logical step, mainly for DTM but also 3D LUT for Rec709 & BT2020
I know lots may have gone for a new PJ, but I really like the Epson and when something comes along to nudge me into that upgrade, the Lumagen will help get the best of that too!
So i've been playing with the DTM and i found a
Long Youtube video which gives some hints and tips for starting off on this journey - It's basically Jim Peterson talking through some slides - I can certainly get an image improvement with DTM, though I'm still quite confused on a LOT of the settings.
Seems to suggest 4K BT2020 HDR -> 4K BT2020 SDR, though quite what projector calibration I use there I don't know, also seems to come out 8bit RGB, did look pretty good though!
I'm also curious if I should still keep the Vertex in the mix, I'm guessing i'd loose Dolby vision compatibility if I don't (The vertex basically enables the EDID, which allows DV to show up on the Apple TV)
Lots of reading ahead & maybe new calibration software!
