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.

  • Hi,
    hope it's ok if i continue with a few more questions in this thread.
    I am asking all questions here with the premise that i am using the latest software for DL-2 s which i think is v1.4 and have any necessary cable and hardware required to make it happen.

    If i have a 3(w) x 1(H) collage i would in theory need any of my custom content to be 1648 x 471 resolution or thereabouts,so if i want to use the same piece of custom content but as a single image from each DL-2 i would need a resolution of 640 x 480,
    Do i need to have two separate files in each fixture each with a different resolution to do this or can the fixtures use the higher resolution content and work with that.....2 types of content??

    I understand the idea of graphic syncing fixtures,is there anything to look out for when using this feature.
    I guess and stress guess that sync is quite important when using the collage functions of DL-2 fixtures to avoid any lag or shift in the display of the content or am i incorrect.

    I understand the cable routing of and display of the camera functions so out of one DL-2 and into another DL- 2 via lots of blue box's to oversimplify,is graphic sync important for this also ?
    Would i be recording it as a preset palette in my console and programming it with every cue-list...

    Any user experience about using collage and ways to handle it on a day to day basis when touring.
    Am i correct in saying that with a DL-2 this would be a ICBF palette so all masks included?

    Any tips on updating collage palette's day to day on a tour.

    Would be helpful if replies from users with experience of any or all of the above..that's you guys/girls from previous posts.

    again thanks C
