-Projection zone name
The area toward the top of the General tab allows you to specify a Projection Zone Name . Since there
are 30 zones, you should give a descriptive name to each zone such as "Main Graphics" or "Scanner 2
Beam zone".
-Scanner (projector) Output section
The next section, labeled Output this zone to allows you to indicate the scanner (projector) that will be
used for that zone, and also to adjust the parameters for that scanner. This is how you indicate which
scanner will be used for each zone. Pressing the "Adjust scanner settings" button will display the
Projector Settings window.
-Test pattern control section
The bottom section allows you to display a test pattern if desired, and it is possible to project a test
pattern on multiple zones simultaneously in this mode. This allows you to adjust geometric correction
settings on overlapping scanners.
There are two different test patterns available for selection: a Simple test pattern and a Grid test pattern.
The simple test pattern has roughly 500 points, and the grid test pattern has roughly 1000 points. Using
the simple test pattern when you are projecting multiple test patterns from the same set of scanners will
help to reduce flicker.
In addition to the lines that make up the actual test pattern, each test pattern also has an identifying
number to help distinguish which test pattern is being projected from which zone.
-Geometric Correction section
The next section shows the Geometric Correction parameters for the selected zone, and allows you to
adjust it. The Geometric Correction settings allow you to adjust the geometric correction for each
scanner. Moreover, each scanner can actually have multiple geometric correction settings if desired
simply by directing more than one zone to the same scanner.
To adjust the geometric correction, click, on the different Correction Types and then move the sliders
that appear on the sides and top of the window, or you can click and drag the mouse in the window area.
