GUI – Installation Image 8–17 Example of the scaling mode menu In the Scaling menu, select the desired scaling mode and confirm. 8.9 Warping About warping Image warping is the process of digitally manipulating an image to compensate for the distortion of the screen. Consequently, it can also be used to generate an image with irregular shape.
GUI – Installation Image 8–19 Example of the Warp menu In the Warp menu, click Warp to toggle between On and Off. Image 8–20 Image 8–21 8.9.2 Warping – Screen Size About (Warp) Screen Size adjustment If the used source aspect ratio is different than the projector aspect ratio, e.g. source is 16:9 and projector is 16:10, then black bars will be projected.
Page 81
GUI – Installation Image 8–23 Warp menu, screen size The Screen Size menu is displayed. Image 8–24 Example of the screen size menu Select either Screen width or Screen height. Set the new value to shrink either the width or height of the warp outline so that the outline is equal with the active source.
GUI – Installation 8.9.3 Warping – 4 corners adjustment About 4 Corners adjustment 4 corner adjustment is typically used when the mechanical installation of the projector prevents it from pointing perpendicularly at the screen. For example, you can overshoot the screen and use 4 corner adjustment to pull your projected image corners back into the screen.
GUI – Installation Image 8–29 Example of 4 corners warping menu, with helper lines active on the edges of the screen To set warping on one of the four corners, select one of the four corners and confirm. Set the desired X and Y coordinates for this corner, using the arrow keys, and confirm. After confirming, the helper lines for that corner will jump to the entered XY coordinate (if helper lines were enabled).

Page 86
GUI – Installation The correction will occur symmetrically on each side of the center of the highlighted side. Repeat this step for all sides of the picture that has to be corrected, until the desired transformation has been achieved. Image 8–37 Example of a symmetric bow correction Asymmetric bow correction In the Bow menu, enable the Bow slider and disable the symmetric slider.
Page 87
GUI – Installation Image 8–39 Select the desired slider and confirm. Image 8–40 Adjust angle and linearity (length) individually to obtain the correct correction. Press enter to confirm and to switch between angle and length. Tip: Adjust the angle by using the up and down arrow keys. Adjust the linearity by using the left and right arrow keys.
GUI – Installation To reset the bow adjustments, select Reset and confirm. 8.9.5 Warping – Warp files About custom Warp Files Next to setting your specific warp configuration in the GUI, you can also upload or download a custom warp grid in XML format to/from the projector.

GUI – Installation Click “Apply” to confirm the value. Repeat this process for every projector in the setup. 8.10 Blending & masking About blending Blending is used in multi channel installation to have a seamless transition between the channels. Image blending gives the appearance of a single view, thus achieving realistic immersion for the majority of wide screen applications.
Page 92
GUI – Installation Image 8–52 Example of the basic blend menu To enable blending, put the Enable switch to the right. The color of the switch becomes blue when enabled. To project masking lines on the screen, put the Show lines switch to the right. The color of the switch becomes blue when enabled.
GUI – Installation Do not forget to disable the Show lines button after you achieved the desired blend zone. 8.10.2 Blend & Blend mask About masking and blending width or height Offset is used to clip the image on one or multiple sides (masking). This is used to hide parts of the picture that should not be shown on the screen.
Page 94
GUI – Installation Image 8–56 Start position (mask) Blending width Select one of the four starting positions values with the arrow keys and confirm. Use the arrow keys or remote digits to change the value of the mask and confirm. Repeat this process for all other desired sides.
GUI – Installation Image 8–57 Set up for projector 1 Image 8–58 Set up for projector 2 8.10.3 Blend Files About custom Blend Files Next to setting your specific Blending configuration in the GUI, you can also upload or download a custom Blend configuration file in png, jpg or tiff format to/from the projector.
GUI – Installation Image 8–59 Blend and mask menu, Blend files The Blend Files menu is displayed. Image 8–60 Example of the blend files menu If any custom Blend files are available, select the desired file. Image 8–61 To enable the selected blend file, make sure the Enable slider is set to the right. The color of the slider becomes blue when enabled.
Page 97
GUI – Installation You can also specify the offsets manually by turning off the automatic calculation. The black level value is adjusted in a 16–bit resolution from 0 to 65535. The following figure shows how this occurs in a side by side configuration without any correction of the black level.
GUI – Installation Move the cursor to Level, press enter and adjust this level until the black level equals the level in the blend zone. This value can also be entered by the numeric keys on the remote control. Repeat the same procedure for any other projector connected to this projector, but on the opposite side. Note: Do not forget to disable the Show lines button after you achieved the desired blend zone.
GUI – Installation Image 8–67 Example of the default black level menu Select one of the three sliders on the bottom of the menu (Red, Green or Blue). Use the left and right arrow keys to modify the gain of the chosen color. Repeat for every slider until the desired result is achieved on screen.
GUI – Installation Image 8–69 Example of the black level files menu If any custom Black Level adjustment files are available, select the desired file. Image 8–70 Example of custom black level files selected Make sure the Enable slider is set to the right to activate the selected black level file 8.11 Illumination What can be done? Within a certain percentage, the light output of the light source can be reduced by reducing the power slider.
GUI – Installation How to reduce the power In the main menu, select Installation → Illumination. Image 8–71 Installation menu, illumination The Illumination menu is displayed. Image 8–72 Example of the Illumination menu Use the Slider to change the power value. Enable the Constant light output slider if you want to enable CLO mode.
GUI – Installation The viewer wears glasses which contain a pair of opposite polarizing filters. As each filter only passes light which is similarly polarized and blocks the opposite polarized light, each eye only sees one of the images, and the effect is achieved.
Why change the 3D setup? While Barco can provide a 3D emitter and active shutter glasses as options to this projector, you are also free to use a 3D emitter and active shutter glasses of your own choice. Since glasses and emitter can have various specifications compared to the ones Barco can provide, the 3D setup menu allows you to configure the output image to the specifications of your glasses and emitter.
