Black Level Blending Procedure
Adjust white levels before adjusting black levels.
NOTES: 1)
Blend zones. If a given Edge Blend zone width is set to 0 (i.e. no blend on that side) then the corresponding
BLB zone is disabled. It only becomes accessible when that Edge Blend zone is active.
1. Start with two projectors. Select the black test pattern for both projectors from the Geometry and Color
submenu.
2. In the Black Level Blending submenu, enable black blending by putting a checkmark in the check box for
each projector.
3. Working with one projector at a time, use the center brightness slide bar to adjust the center brightness
(brightness of the non-blended region) so that the center intensity matches that of the brightest blended
region (the center of all images when blending a 2 x 2 display is the target area).
4. Use the following three color slide bars, Black Red Level, Black Green Level and Black Blue Level, so
the black hue of each projector matches.
5. You can choose which of the next four options, Top, Bottom, Left, Right, to use depending on which edge
of the projector you are working with has been edge blended. The blend width can be adjusted to line up
properly but by default it corresponds to the edge blending setting determined for that edge.
6. The brightness and black hues of the blended region can be adjusted in more detail in case fine-tuning is
needed (may be only necessary for blending a 2 x 2 projector display because of blending differs for the
sides and center).
The menu options vary depending on the edge blending parameters.
