Show Blending Overlap
turns your
defined blend width area to solid
gray so that two adjacent images
can be seamlessly aligned simply
by overlapping their gray bars, if
needed. Toggle the
Show Blending
Overlap off to reactivate the blend
effect. NOTE: Show Blending
Overlap appears as Reserved when
ChristieTWIST is installed.
Other Functions
For convenience, the Edge Blending
submenu also includes related options for
enabling a specific color and/or test pattern,
or for working with colors or the lamp.
Such functions duplicate those provided
elsewhere in the
Cine-IPM 2K menu
system.
Edge Blending Procedure
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Make sure your source hardware
and/or software can supply a tiled image for the
number of projectors in use, and that the tiling
includes overlapping data of approximately 12.5-25%
along shared edges (see
Figure 3.37
). Tiling not a
Cine-IPM 2K or CP2000 feature.
Physically align the projectors and images from your
intended external source, then match colors and
Brightness Uniformity.
IMPORTANT
For a shared edge, all Blend procedures and settings
should be identical on BOTH projectors.
1. Start with 2 projectors. Display full white field test pattern from both.
2. In the Edge Blending submenu, enable the top checkbox to activate all controls.
NOTE:
If the
optional
ChristieTWIST
module is
installed, a pull-
down list
replaces this
checkbox (see right). Select the desired user-defined blend created for your
current warp; no further blending at the projector is required. Or, to simply edge
blending a non-warped flat image, select “Standard” and continue with Step 3.
