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
menu system.

4.15.1 Edge Blending Procedure

Before working with edge blending software functions, you must:

• Physically align the projectors/images by correctly overlapping the displays from your intended external

source

• Match colors and Brightness Uniformity.

IMPORTANT:

For a shared edge, all Blend procedures and settings must be identical on

BOTH projectors.

1. Start with 2 projectors. Display full white field test pattern from both.
2. In the

Edge Blending

submenu, enter a checkmark in the top checkbox to enable

Edge Blending

3. Set Starting points for adjustment.

a. Set all blend widths to 0.
b. Go to “More” and set everything in the Edge Blending (2) menu to 50.

4. Set Blend Width. On one projector, increase the Blend Width for an overlapping edge. For example, if the

projector’s image is on left, its right edge overlaps the adjacent image—adjust Right Blend Width. Use the
same setting on the second projector for this shared edge.
