7.5.2 Introduction
When available ?
ScenergiX is only available as an option, some menu items will be grayed out when this option is not installed.
Why ScenergiX ?
When working in a multichannel setup the SLM R12+ and its Soft Edge possibilities enable an image blending that gives the ap-
pearance of a single view, thus achieving realistic immersion for the majority of wide screen applications.

Why Soft Edge?
What is the Basic Principal of ScenergiX ?
The principle of edge blending is archived by linear modulation of the light output in the overlap zone so that the light output in that
zone equals the light output of the rest of the image.

Overlap : number of pixels that overlap
Horizontal resolution of 1 projector : 1024 for Graphics versions, 1280 for Reality versions, 1400 for SXGA projectors.
To t a lhorizontal screen resolution : [(horizontal resolution of 1 projector) x 2] minus overlap.
Horizontal Resolution source : number of active pixels of the source.
Adjustment of Active pixels (Pact) of the first projector
1. Go to File –> Edit menu of first projector.
2. Enter value for horizontal active (= Pact) as follows :
Pact = [(Horz. resolution of 1 projector)/(Total horz. screen resolution)] x (horz. resolution source)
3. Horizontal start (= Pstart) remains the same.
Adjustment of Active pixels (Pact) of second projector
1. Go to File –> Edit menu of second projector.
2. Enter value for horizontal active (= Pact) as follows :
Pact = [(Horz. resolution of 1 projector)/(Total horz. screen resolution)] x (horz. resolution source)
3. Horizontal start (= Pstart) = original start + [(Horz. resolution source) minus (newly calculated Pact)]
