Destination Setup

This completes the procedure for defining “standard” and “stack” destinations. The selected buttons on the Destination Bus are now active.

Note

Encore can create destinations with Processors that do not have the same number of M/Es — in which case, the system operates at the lowest common denominator of M/Es.

To configure an Encore system for vertical array blending, please note the following important points:

•All cabling to the VP and VPx units is the same as a standard widescreen setup.

•When setting the ID of your VP and VPx units, the lowest ID maps to the top screen in a vertical configuration. Subsequent IDs map down towards the last screen on the bottom.

•In an “array” configuration, the lowest ID is the top/left screen. Subsequent IDs map to the right and then down — starting with the left-most screen, and moving over to the right.

„Use the following steps to access vertical or array blending:

1.On the Destination Setup Menu, add your widescreen VP and VPx units to the list as normal.

2.In the Dimensions field, configure the VP and VPx units as desired.

S Suppose VP IDs 1, 2, 3 and 4 were added to the list. The Dimensions field enables you to select between the following arrays:

~4W x 1H (4 screens wide by 1 screen high). This is a standard horizontal widescreen configuration.

~2W x 2H (2 screens wide by 2 screens high). This is a 2x2 screen array.

~1W x 4H (1 screen wide by 4 screens high). This is a vertical widescreen configuration.

3.Once the Destination Menu has been configured, navigate to the Wide Screen Settings Menu (under the Output Menu) to set up widescreen parameters.

4.Adjust H Overlap and/or V Overlap as required. When making these adjustments, turn on the Alignment Test Pattern on the Test Pattern Menu (Output > Test Pattern).

~For a horizontal widescreen, select Hor to display a test pattern of horizontal lines.

~For a vertical widescreen configuration, select Ver to display a test pattern of vertical lines.

~For an array, select Both to display a test pattern of both horizontal and vertical lines.

5.Perform edge feathering adjustments in the Feather Setup Menu (Output > Widescreen > Feather Setup). Note that in the Test Pattern Menu, a new pattern called Gray Bars has been added to assist with vertical blending configurations.
