    The ACK flag will be returned as 0 if the command is invalid for some reason – for example a bad FUNCTION, WINDOW, OUTPUT or PAYLOAD value. An ACK=0 message will be otherwise identical to the one you sent, so you know exactly which message has the error.
  • Page 90 Bit 6 = ACK bit. Should be set to 0 for messages to the unit. ACK=1 returned means message was okay. ACK=0 returned means an error was present in the message. Bit 5 = 0 Reserved for future use. Bit 4 = 0 Reserved for future use. Bit 3 = 0 Reserved for future use.

The command F0400410082000001C8 has the checksum of 04+00+41+00+82+00+00+01=C8, so the complete command to send is F0400410082000001C8. A short-cut for debugging allows the checksum to be replaced by 2 question marks, so in the previous example you could send F0400410082000001?? Instead.

    12.2 Creating a Macro On the 10-key front panel units, you can store up to 5 macros and associate them with 5 different buttons of your choosing. It is also a good idea to assign another button to the Restore function. This restore function allows the unit to be returned to it previously saved state, thus allowing you to toggle between a preset condition and this saved state.

     Press and hold the macro button (using SHIFT if needed) until the unit gives a short beep and the display says Info: Added to Macro. This has now added the Shrink position for window 1A to the macro  The macro is now complete. Pressing your RESTORE button will return the unit to the last saved state.

S-curves, when properly overlapping, will add together to result in full brightness. 13.2 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.

    13.3 Basic setup of the two projectors Basic video projector setup showing overlap. 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.

  • Page 118: Initial Setup

    For use with dual-channel scalers such as the C2-7000 series, connect your video source (e.g. a DVD player or computer) to an input on the C2-7000 unit. It is not necessary to feed two signals – the C2-7000 unit can use the same signal for both outputs.

    around 10% to 20% overlap are usually around 180%. In other words, not quite 2x zooming (since that would give no overlap at all). Figure ‘a’ shows the original image and ‘b’ shows the two zoomed images. Note that the two images are at different ‘Pan’ positions – i.e. they are zoomed into different areas of the image –...

  • Page 120: Edge-Blending Guide Lines

    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 –...
