Each corner has an x and a y

value that adjust and correct scale of the projection from any corner toward the image center on that axis.

Setting all Keystone X and Y parameters DMX values to zero will place the four corners of the image at the four corners of the projector output. Adjusting keystone x values toward 255 (100%) moves the respective corner x positions horizontally toward the center of that image edge. Adjusting keystone y values toward 255 (100%) causes the respective corner y positions to be moved vertically toward the center of that edge of the image.

Tip: These parameters can also be used to create interesting skewing as a design effect.

Keystone Top Left X DMX value = 85 Keystone Top Left Y DMX value = 85 Keystone Top Right X DMX value = 85 Keystone Top Right Y DMX value = 85

Keystone Top Right Y DMX value = 170

All other Keystone parameter DMX values = 255
