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.
Thanks Abbe, What you're describing is pretty much what we did, just treating it like any other more traditional projection blend. I finished the set up last week, show closes today and it came out looking great. I didn't have to touch color at all, brightness could have been better but was totally reasonable for what we were doing, and they banged in really quickly even without the timings adjustment. They even held their position well so morning re-tweaks on the blend were really mellow. We had 2 more DMLs on curved vertical awnings that needed a much more complex warp, but even those weren't too bad. I have a few pics I'll post soonish, just have to get clearance from the client. I'm mostly trying to find easier ways to do this next time. I may try using the sync manager in the shop but for this one the client wanted to use their own playback devices so we skipped the EMP entirely.
