Internal soft edge: to enable the Soft Edge or Blanking
area created through the OSD;
Alpha plane: to enable an external Alpha plane that
has been uploaded to the projector.
Image: to display the image of the selected source(s)
while adjusting the Soft Edge;
Full white: to display full white while adjusting the Soft
Edge.
Notes
Both Internal and Alpha plane can be selected
at the same time.
The procedures in this manual are explained
using a full white background.
Disabled edges are hard edges. Adjusting a
hard edge results in creating a blanked area
without Soft Edge blending on that edge.
The four bars coincide with the grid as
explained in "Soft Edge area shape", page
127.
For more details, see "Soft Edge area shape",
page 127.
If starting to adjust Soft Edge from scratch, it is
a good practice to click Reset before clicking
Adjust. Then you are sure that the Soft Edge
follows the active geometry settings.
