Warp and Blend Images

The digital image warp and blend functionality combines multiple projector images into a single
image. Use the Christie’s Twist

and AutoCal applications to adjust the image so it fits different

screen shapes. Adjustments can be made to correct keystone on flat screens or fit an image to
spherical, cylindrical, curved, or arbitrary screen shapes.

Digital blend definitions allow images from multiple projectors to be overlapped to create a single

image.

For information about creating and managing warps and blends, please refer to the Twist

User

Manual (P/N: 020-100143-xx) or the AutoCal 3.0 User Manual (P/N: 020-100985-xx).

Adjust Geometry Correction Settings

1. Select Configuration > Geometry Correction.

2. In the Geometry Correction list select the warp file previously uploaded to the projector from

Twist

or AutoCal.

It can take several seconds to load a warp file.

3. In the Edge Blending list, select the edge blending file.

4. In the Black Blend Enable list, select the black blend file (supported with Twist

2.0).

5. To visualize the effect of the selected warp or blend file, select a projector test pattern from the

Test Pattern list.

If the Upgrade button is greyed out the projector may not be in Standby mode. Select the

Main tab and look under the Power field to verify the current mode. If the projector is not in

Standby mode, power the project Off and try again.

If the message, Main update failed xxx, see log for details is displayed copy the upgrade log

and send it to Christie technical support.
