S-curves, when properly overlapping, will add together to result in full brightness. 10.2 Edge-blending requirements To obtain the best edge-blending results, you will need: 1. A perfectly flat projection screen. This is vital, or it will not be possible to perfectly align your two projected images with each other.

The above diagram shows how the two projects should be placed to create a wider than normal image. The amount by which they overlap is very important, as this will also relate to the zooming values to be used for each of the CORIO®2 scaling engines.

    C2-8000 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL For use with dual-channel, connect your video source (e.g. a DVD player or computer) to an input on the unit. It is not necessary to feed two signals – the unit can use the same signal for both outputs. For 2 single-channel scalers, you can either use a distribution amplifier so that a single video source is split into 2 signals, or use the ‘loop’...

    C2-8000 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL 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 –...

This is most probably because a projector’s luminance is not perfectly linear and therefore will need to have what’s called ‘gamma correction’...

    C2-8000 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL The compensation is needed because most projectors cannot output pure black – there’s always some light ‘leaking’ to the projection screen. Thus when you’re trying to output black, there will be a ‘hot area’ where the two projectors are now overlapping, of twice the projector’s ‘black level’...
