Moving An Incoming Signal In The Raster

Is it possible to shift an incoming video signal along the X and Y axis? Currently I'm moving the image by panning and tilting the entire head which changes my keystone and forces me to rewarp the signal. This makes even minor changes in position end up taking a decent amount of time. If I could just slide the image around like a signal from the Hippo or adjust the pixel map like on an actual projector life would be a little easier.

  • HI Dave,
    Yes it does very much. First, very impressive! It would be great to see some video of that!
    And second, there is no Layout/Timing adjust on the DML-1200.
    You can use the WARP to do smaller adjustments, but its quite limited in the sense that the adjustments can only be done INwards not really outwards...
    I am sorry for that, but we did not really anticipate that someone would put 6 x HighRes sources with out other imageprocessing equipment.
    I would go about it like:
    1. Evenly space the DMLs like normal projectors for the main image
    2. Zoom the units to a 200-300 pixel overlap
    3. Make a Alignment pattern for each Turbo
    4. Make a warp for this position from the middle outwards, adjust ing the pos of the units as i went
    5. Use the internal blend
    6. Have the Post Company produce the Material with 200 pixels overlap

    And the only reason not to use the EMP would be that the resolution is better with a HD signal rather than the MPEG2 in the EMP.
    Why is that the EMP can Frame synch perfectly to one master, just hook up the EMP Manager to the network and open the SynchManager, the icon is a Zinc :) to the left.

    Again, i would LOVE to play with 6 x Turbo over HD-SDI to the DMLs

    And i hope this helps!
