Introduction
Introduction
Advanced & Screen Manager is the image editing software to project images on the
spherical or curved screens by installing Warp & Blending Board on the projector. By
editing images with this software, you can project images on the spherical or curved
screen with minimum distortion. When using several projectors to project one image
on a multiscreen, the Blending function adjust image levels of overlapped parts.
These advanced functions enable you to use projected images more effectively at
various events or visual presentation.
