7.8.5.1 Introduction
What can be done?
When working in a multichannel setup the Soft edge feature enables an image blending that gives the appearance of a single image,
thus achieving realistic immersion for the majority of simulation and virtual reality applications.

Soft edge : purpose

What is the Basic Principal of (electronic) Soft Edge ?
The principle of edge blending is achieved by linear modulation of the light output in the overlap zone so that the light output in that
zone equals the light output of the rest of the image.
