11. Multichannel installations

11.1 Synchronization best practice

Projector requirements

• Use projectors and lenses that are of the same make, age and model
• Make sure lamps are the same age, and that lamp settings are identical across all projectors
• Ensure that all projector settings, including current software version, are identical

Physical setup

• Always align the projectors precisely
• Allow an overlap of 10% of the total image size
General
Wherever possible, synchronization in multi-channel installations should be done at the image generator (IG) level rather than at the
projector level.
Consider the setup shown in . This is a typical dual head setup where each projector channel is driven by two individual Image
Generators (IG). The problem is that the IG are not in sync with each other. Each projector will synchronize its projected image with
the DP1 input. Frame rate conversion will be applied to the other input as necessary, but the two projectors will not be in sync with
each other.
