•Edge Feathering

The overlapping image data in the blend region must be edge-feathered to

support a seamless optical blend. The transfer function must be programmable to

support blend regions of different widths and adjust to different video

characteristics. A typical blend function is illustrated below.

Accurate projector setup is essential for creating seamless images. Please note the

following important guidelines:

•The projectors must be precisely aligned to overlap the adjacent blending regions.

•The brightness, contrast and color balance of the projectors must be adjusted to

provide a uniform appearance across the entire screen.

•Custom test patterns and an alignment procedure are used to simplify this

process and provide an optimal result.

•Mixing and matching projectors is not recommended as it makes the adjustment

process much more difficult.
