1.3 Introduction

When available ?

ScenergiX is only available as an option, some menu items will be grayed out when this option is not installed.

Why ScenergiX ?

When working in a multichannel setup the Barco E LM R18 and its Soft E dge possibilities enable an image blending that gives the
appearance of a single view, thus achieving realistic immersion for the majority of wide screen applications.

What is the Basic Principal of ScenergiX ?

The principle of edge blending is archived 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.

1.4 Preparations

ScenergiX Preparations

To ensure proper ScenergiX adjustment, be sure that the following adjustments are done perfectly on all projectors:

• Convergence (E lectronic Convergence).

• Geometry

• Color Matching (Color Temperature, Input Balance, Gamma)

1.6 ScenergiX overlap zone (horizontal scenergix)

Definitions

Image 1-3
Scenergix set up

Overlap : n umber of pixels that overlap

Horizontal resolution of 1 projector : 1024 for Grap hics versions, 1280 for Reality versions.

Total horizontal screen resolution : [(horizontal resolution of 1 projector) x 2] minus overlap.

Horizontal Resolution source : number of a ctive pixels of the source.

1. ScenergiX

Adjustment of Active pixels (Pact) of the first projector

1. Go to File –> E dit menu of first projector.

2. Enter value for horizontal → active (= Pact) as follow :
Pact = [(Horz. res olution of 1 projector)/(Total horz. screen resolution)] x (horz. resolution source)

3. Horizontal → start (= Pstart) remains the sam e.

Adjustment of Active pixels (Pact) of second projector

1. Go to File –> Edit menu of second projector.

2. Enter value for horizontal → active (= Pact) as f ollow :
Pact = [(Horz. res olution of 1 projector)/(Total horz. screen resolution)] x (horz. resolution source)

3. Horizontal → start (= Pstart) = original start + [(Horz. resolution source) minus (newly calculated Pac t)]

Example

Horizontal resolution source : 1600 pixels

horizontal resolution projector 1 & 2 : 1024 pixels

Overlap : 100 pixels

Total horizontal screen size in pixels : 1948 pixels

Pact projector 1 = [(1024 / 1948)] x 1600 = 841 pixels

Pact projector 2 = [(1024 / 1948)] x 1600 = 841 pixels

Pstart projector 2 = P start projector 1 + (1600 – 841)

1.7 ScenergiX overlap zone (vertical scenergix)

Definitions

Image 1-4
Scenergix overlap zone vertical

Overlap : n umber of pixels that overlap

Vertical resolution of 1 projector : 768 for Graphics versions, 1024 for Re ality versions.

Total vertical screen resolution : [(Vertical resolution of

Vertical Resolution source : number of active lines of the source

1 projector) x 2] minus (overlap)

Adjustment of Active lines (Lact) of the first projector

1. Go to File –> E dit menu of first projector.

2. Enter value for vertical → act (= Lact) as follow :
Lact = [(vert.. resolution of 1 projector)/(Total Vert.. screen resolution)] x (Verti. resolution source)

3. Vertical → start (= Lstart) rem ains the same.

Adjustment of Active lines ( Lact) of second projec

1. Go to File –> Edit menu of second projector.

2. Enter value for vertical → act (= Lact) as follow :
Lact = [(Vert.. resolution of 1 projector)/(Total vert.. screen resolution)] x (vert. resolution source)

3. Vertical → start (= Lstart) = original start + [(Vert. resolution source) minus (newly calculated Lac t)]

tor

Example

Vertical resolution source : 1200 lines

Vertical resolution 1projector : 768 lines

Overlap : 50 lines

Total vertical screen size : 1486 lines

Lact projector 1 = (768 / 1486) x 1200 = 620 lines

Lact projector 2 = ( 768 / 1486/) x 1200 = 620 lines

Lstart projector 2 = Lstart projector 1 + (1200 – 620)

1.8 ScenergiX size adjustment

What can be done with the ScenergiX size menu?

Within this menu the w idth of the blending zone is set up.

How to adjust the size?

Only accessible when the status is in the O N position.

1. Push the cursor key ↑ or ↓ to highlight one of the four size adjustments, Top, Bottom, Left or Right. (menu 1-3)

2. Press ENTER to select.

A pattern with the different areas will be displayed. (image 1-5)

3. Use the cursor keys to move the border of the overlap ar ea to the d esired position (value betw een 0 and 255).
Set first the width of the f irst projector and repeat for the second one. (image 1-6, image 1-7)

1.9 Adjusting the black level of the images

Why

For dark images, the overlap zone will be brighter then the rest of the images. Therefore we can rise the black level of the remaining
image (excluding the overlap zone).
