    10.6 Universal DVI Output Modules   It is important to select the correct output resolutions for each of the devices connected to the unit at this stage. Changes of resolution later in the process of generating good quality results can be compromised by setting different resolutions later. For each output click on the output resolution line and from the pop up select the correct resolution for the monitor or projector connected.

    10.8 SDI Output Modules   The SDI output modules should be configured for the desired output resolution no other adjustment is possible.     10.9 Genlock Function   Each output will normally free run at the chosen output resolution. In many situations the user may want to have these outputs co-timed.

    The left hand side shows the current layout, currently the because of hardware constraints the CORIOmaster mini unit restricts the user to one layout in the system. Click on a layout to select and this can be named on the current layout box. Names must start with a letter and contain no spaces  ...
  • Page 39   The output then appears on the layout with its centre at point 0,0. The user can now move the output in a number of ways. For more accurate positioning the user may enter accurate numbers into the Layout Centre of the Output Properties field. For fine tuning the arrows provide a nudge facility for actual alignment.

    11.2 Layout Aids To help the user construct layouts a number of extra tools have has been added to the software. The Zoom All button sizes the layout screen to show all placed outputs. The Centre Layout Origin places the 0,0 point in the centre of the screen, where new outputs are placed.
  • Page 41: Base Size

    11.2.1 Base Size     On the left hand side is a user defined value called Base Size, by default this is zero which turns off this function. If the user is using identical monitors on a layout then the Base Size has no function.
  • Page 42: Projector Alignment

      11.3 Projector Alignment     The layout grid can also be used for setting up projectors for edge blending. This time however the gridlines should be spaced smaller than the projector resolution so that the outputs overlap on the layout. The maximum overlap is 500 pixels.
  • Page 43   CORIOmaster mini can blend horizontally, vertically or a combination of both to create complex video walls using projectors.   Once all the projectors have been aligned the next stage is to correct for and brightness non linearity at the blends.
  • Page 44   Linearity Correction allows us to control the overlap between the two projectors.   The overlap is defined in the overlap area in the line-up graphic (not the amount of the projectors).           With the control slid to the right the overlay has a strong gradient applied to both images which will result in a black edge in the centre of the image.
  • Page 45 that output should be selected on the software (make it the only one red) and then adjust the appropriate gamma to remove any visible difference.       When the Gamma correction has been completed a black source should be used to adjust the ‘Black Level Boost’. In very low light conditions it may be possible to see a lighter area on the blended edges.

    Appendix A: Framelock vs. Genlock What is Genlock? When you run a variety of outputs, you want to make sure they don’t get out of sync with each other. The CORIOmaster provides the ability to lock certain outputs to the reference signals taken from a specified input, in order to make sure they stay synchronised.
