SOFT EDGE BLENDING 8-1. SOFT EDGE BLENDING If you want to create a Soft Edge setup using only one unit, you need to set the unit in “Embedded SEB” mode and connect your Left projector to “Output 1” (Main) and your Right Projector to “Output 2” (Preview). In this “Embedded SEB” mode type of setup, your unit does not have a Preview anymore, unless the unit is equipped with an Optional Video Output Board. In this case, you can use the Optional Video Outputs for your Preview purposes.
You can also use the “Grid” test pattern in the “Output” – “Test Pattern” menu to help you properly align the projectors together. WARNING: Do not use the projectors’ Keystone function to correct image parallelism problems. Using the Keystone will make it impossible to use the Soft Edge Curves. Too small covering area. ☺ Projectors well aligned. Edges not paralleled Top and bottom not aligned.
12/ In the “Soft Edge” – “Test Pattern” menu, select “OFF” to remove the test pattern. 13/ In the “Soft Edge” – “Black Levels” – “Level Tint” menu, adjust the “Left” and “Right” menus to get the luminance in the left and right areas of the projection to match the luminance of the overlapping area. This adjustment must be done on a black projection (no sources). This adjustment will be made easier if you are in the darkest environment possible.
