The Keyer can take some time to master and below is a breakdown and series of simple steps to help you master the Keyer’s operation When adjusting the values, please bear in the mind the following: The Y value is the Luminance value, so 0 is black and 255 is very bright (white).

  • Page 83: Edge-Blending Setup

    This guide is intended to summarise how to setup such projectors when used with a suitable number of TV One’s CORIO®2 scaling engines. The C2-7000 series are dual processors and therefore require only a single unit to perform both tasks, whereas other units will generally require two units to be used together, with a distribution amplifier on the input so that both units receive an identical video source.

S-curves, when properly overlapping, will add together to result in full brightness. 11.2 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.

    C2-1000 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL 11.3 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 86: Initial Setup

    C2-1000 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL 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.

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

  • Page 92: Aspect Ratio Adjustment

    C2-1000 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’...
