About this chapter
In this chapter we further discuss the highest level features of the MCM-50.
In the geometry section we explain how the coordinate system can be changed to enable a different way of adjusting the geometry,
how the geometry data can be managed, how the image can be shifted on the F50 series projector and how we can manually set the
time that can be used for geometry adjustment processing. This turns out to be very important in multiple channel display systems.
In the soft edge section; electronic blend is explained in detail: in multiple channel display systems, we can make the images of
adjacent channels overlap in part. To correct for the doubled brightness in the overlap areas, electronic soft edge can be used. The
same feature can also be used to blank parts of the image. In the overlap area of multiple channel display systems, we can adjust
black color to make it meet the black of the non overlap areas in your display system.
Using Dynacolor, we can change the color temperature of the image or we can fi ne tune the image colors to match multiple channels
to each other.
Finally we discuss how we can align a set of gray levels amongst multiple channels in your display system.

• Transport delay
11.1.1 Setting the Axis link to ON or OFF
Description
Axis link can be set to On or Off. Default is Off :
• Off : the adjustment coordinate system is absolute.
• On : the adjustment coordinate system coincides with the edges of the distorted image. This setting is only used in very dedi-
cated display systems.
Example (2 x 2 mode) – Axis link set to Off
1. Start with a non-distorted image.
2. Set Axislink to Off .
3. Adjust the value of PixelsX (row 0; col 0) to +300 to move the top left corner to the right.
