7.4.1 Introduction
What can be done ?
With the geometry corrections, this projector can be used in a wide variety of curved and fl at-screen applications, ranging from fl at
or straightforward cylindrical displays to the wildest shapes that can be imagined: by pre-distorting the image inside the projector, a
correct geometry can be achieved on curved screens, without requiring additional computational power on the IG’s side.
7.4.2 Geometry fi les
Description
A geometry fi le contains the geometry corrections. The projector’s memory contains a list of fi les created for demo purposes e.g. to
demonstrate the warping capabilities of the projector. These fi les are called standard fi les.
The active fi le can always be edited in order to fi t exactly the screen shape. Editing a standard fi le will automatically create a custom
fi le.
The fi le notation in the Geometry fi les menu describes a fi le path.
For example : /Standard/Dist_ fi le1.xml
/Standard/Dist_file1.xml
Type of file : standard or custom
file name
file extension = xml
