DL-2 Collage Image Size

Hi,
does anybody have any documents or experience of how big my image size would be using 3 x DL2 in a 1x3 horizontal collage with the standard lens at the moment.
I've looked at the single fixture document which outlines single fixture image size but am finding it hard to work out DL-2 collage image size.
I know i should subtract between 10/20 % of the image size per fixture for edge blending but is it that simple?
Anybody who has more detailed experience would be much appreciated.

Regards Cormac

    10% is a good "rule-of-thumb" as Scott has suggested.

    It will be more if you are projecting at an extreme angle and have to do massive keystone correction.

    I have found that using WYG is a great way to see image sizes if you have the time to build a quick model. It is accurate with the "zoom" tool as well.

    The only thing to watchout for here is that when you eventually keystone it will be to the "smallest" corners.....so line up the "smallest" corners and make sure that covers your projection surface, knowing that the extra bits on the "larger" corners will be keystoned out. Then factor in the 10% overlap for the collage.

    Hope this helps:)
