From the start (mask) position, you can set blend zone size per edge (left, top, right, bottom). For each edge
there will be a drop-off curve for the blend zone.
Waiting period and blend maintenance period
The heating and cooling down of the lens in a projector startup and shutdown cycle can have a minor drifting
effect on the blending and masking areas. Due to this, it is advised to wait 15– 20 minutes after projector
startup before performing blending and masking actions. This to make sure the drift on the blend region is as
minimal as possible. For a similar reason, it is advised to wait 15– 20 minutes after projector startup before
starting any blending maintenance in your existing setup.
It is recommended to perform a blend maintenance after every 10–20 startup-shutdown cycles of
the projector.
