1. System Design of Edge Blending and Cautions 

ƒ

 

In order to steadily project a large image or high-definition image using multiple units of 
projector without showing an image boundary such as a joint line or change in brightness 
and hue, attention should be paid to several points in the selection of projectors, screen and 
delivery equipment as well as the method of installation.

Full use of the pixels of the DMD element of 
each projector results in clearer and brighter 
images.

  Select a zoom lens other than a short-focus fixed lens (ET-D75LE5). 

*  Points to keep in mind 
  A short-focus fixed lens does not permit zooming or lens shift and the projector needs to 

be placed at the center of each image. The lens causes slight distortion of the projected 
image around the lens perimeter and does not permit accurate image overlapping at the 
joint part. 

 

~

  The screen should be selected from white mattes (screen gain 1.0 or less) with a wide view 

angle 

*  Points to keep in mind 
  Glass-beaded, pearl-surface or silver-surface screens have high screen gain and a 

narrow view angle. When a projected image is viewed from an oblique angle, a difference 
in brightness is visible at the joint line.
