There is a formula for calculating the edge blend size (E) from the zoom value
(Z) and horizontal pixel width of the output (H):
E = 2 * H * (1 – Z/200) [pixels]
For example, with zoom (Z) at 190%, output resolution of 1024x768 (H=1024),
we can calculate E as:
E = 2 * 1024 * (1 – 190/200) = 102.4 [pixels]
There is also a formula for calculating the zoom value (Z) from the edge blend
size (E) and horizontal pixel width of the output (H):
Z = (1 – E / (2 * H)) * 200
For example, with E at 150 pixels, an output resolution of 1920 x 1080i
(H=1920), we can calculate Z as:
Z = (1 – 150 / (2 * 1920)) * 200 = 192 [%]
For the recommended zoom value of 190%, the following edge blend
horizontal sizes should be used for various output resolutions:
Zoom % Output
resolution
Edge
blend
H size
190 640 x 480 64
190 800 x 600 80
190 1024 x 768 102
190 1280 x 720 128
190 1280 x 1024 128
190 1600 x 1200 160
190 1920 x 1080i 192
To set these edge-blend widths, perform the following:
1. Go into the ‘Adjust keyers’ menu.
2. For Output 1 (1A), change ‘E.blnd size’ (the first number) to the H size
recommended above.
3. For Output 2 (2B), change ‘E.blnd size’ (the first number) to the H size
recommended above.
It is very important for Outputs 1 and 2 to use the same blend width, or you
will not be able to accurately blend your images. However, should your
projectors be mismatched, changing the blend width on one or both of them
can sometimes help – but this should be done as a last resort.
13.8 Edge-blending guide lines
These lines, as mentioned earlier, are used to aid the alignment of your
projectors. They show the area to overlap – the red lines indicate the inside
edge of the output resolution, whilst the green lines indicate the edge of
