Radiance Mini3D Auto-calibrate Bundle
the total auto-calibration solution
Comprehensive video calibration has never been so easy. With this package, all you have to do is setup a few initial options and then click a button and in less than 10 minutes your display will be full calibrated to professional standards. This package includes:
- Lumagen Radiance Mini3D Video Processor
- ChromaPure Standard w/Auto-Calibrate
- X-Rite Display 3 colorimeter
- USB-RS232 adapter
The Radiance Mini3D video processor is—like the DVDO Duo—a revolutionary product, a true game changer. Here's why. Until now there was always one weak link in the chain of video calibration. If your display lacked the proper set of calibration controls, it simply didn't matter if you had an extremely accurate meter and the world's greatest software. Without the means to adjust the image, you could not improve the display regardless of the calibration equipment you used.
The only solution to this problem was an external device that provided the necessary adjustments that you could place in between the source material (broadcast, DVD, or Blu-ray) and the display. Unfortunately, there were very few such devices available. There is a full-featured video processor that did the job, but it was enormously expensive, in all likelihood more expensive than the display you were trying to calibrate. There were also more affordable PC-based solutions, but these devices lacked a robust feature set and required adding a computer to your home entertainment system.
It is first and foremost a full-featured video processor designed from the ground up as an user-friendly adjunct to a quality home theater installation. It offers the following:
- 2 HDMI inputs
- 3D Output
- world-class scaling and deinterlacing for standard and high definition sources
- noise reduction
- detail enhancement
- aspect ratio control
- selectable output format, including up to 1080p
- remote control with on-screen display
With all of these features, the Radiance Mini3D provides much of what you get from a high-end home theater receiver without the amplification digital sound decoding. However, what makes the Mini3D truly special is the full set of video calibration controls it also offers. These include
- Comprehensive set of video test patterns all automatically controlled by ChromaPure—just click measure in ChromaPure and the Mini3D will automatically provide the necessary test pattern.
- 5% or 10% grayscale/gamma adjustment
- Full 3D color management, offering adjustments to the brightness, hue, and saturation of all of the primary and secondary colors
So how is the Mini3D different from the Duo? Well, in many ways not very different at all. They both provide world-class video processing and calibration controls. There are two main differences. The Mini3D is somewhat more powerful. It offers more test patterns and provides the option to perform grayscale and gamma calibration in 5% or 10% increments. It also can outputs true 3D signals, so it is ideal for calibrating displays in 3D mode. However, it has only two digital HDMI inputs, so installations are somewhat less flexible.
Add to this ChromaPure video calibration software with the auto-calibrate add-on and a high quality color analyzer, such as the Display 3 PRO and you have the ability to achieve professional-quality results with no training or expertise in video calibration. The package of tools does all the work for you.
