The Lumagen driver is a full two way Serial driver with feedback from the Lumagen. It provides switching of inputs for all radiance pro models including the new 5348. After initial programming it's expected that the customer would not need the IR remote further and rely upon automations configured in Control 4.
 
The preferred setup for Lumagen is to have all sources connected directly to the lumagen and then connect the lumagen to the projector and preamp/processor/reciever. This creates an issue that you don't get any volume or mute feedback on your screen because the preamp/receiver is out of path. The driver resolves this by providing access to a text overlay in the Radiance. By enabling "Auto Volume" and "Auto Mute" the control 4 driver will hook the volume level and mute state from the room the lumagen is located in and use them to trigger a message on the display. No programming required. If that doesn't work in the customer's configuration, there is a mute on/off command available in programming and a message can be written to the display to indicate the volume or mute state via variables. Arbitrary messages can be written to the display to signal doorbell rings or other events. Other variables (I.E. Surround mode etc) can also be written to the display. 
 
The driver allows modificaiton of the colors and transparency used in the overlay to match the customer's decor and taste.
 
Supports IR power on, this is only needed in some rare condition.
 
All remote commands can be fired from programming and almost all of the lumagen video attributes are exposed as variables. This allows you to alter Lumagen configuration based on something in your environment such as moving an anamorphic lens in and out or selecting a video game source that needs certain latency (game mode) or video configuration. You can also automate any aspect ratio, zoom etc changes. The state of video being displayed by the lumagen can also be used to trigger outside events. Every time the video changes aspect ratio, resolution, refresh rate, color space etc, the variables are updated and via standard C4 programming any type of automation can be triggered. Some customers that change color space settings on their Sony projector based on the input color space. When using the Lumagen for DTM they are putting the Sony in the proper HDR color space. This also allows for HDR to SDR mapping or HDR without triggering high lamp mode by not passing the HDR flag to the display but setting a HDR color space.  The aspect ratio variable can be used to trigger automatic masking systems and anamorphic lenses. Care must be taken that sources that change aspect ratio frequently do not cause mechanical malfunctions.

VARIABLES
 
All feedback is handled through the device variables. 
 
Note: These variables are all read-only, and changing the variables' values does not cause the Lumagen to change state.

These variables are writable. The specified action will occur immediately after updating the variable. The message feature could be used for several things. For example, if the customer has a soundproofed theater you may want to write a message when their doorbell rings or security alarm goes off. You can safely write to the variables at any time, if the lumagen is in an off state the commands are silently discarded (so you can use lazy programming and fire the dorbell message without regard for if the theater is in use for example).
 
 
VOLUME_DISPLAY integer will be immediately displayed as volume
QUICK_MESSAGE string will be immediately displayed as a 1 line message
DARBEE_ENHANCE integer value of 0 - 120 for darbee enhancement
MESSAGE1 string will be stored for displayed as line 1 of a 2 line message
MESSAGE2 string will be displayed as line 2 of a message. Writing to this will trigger display of line 1 and line 2
