Projecting from Multiple Projectors at Once 
(Edge Blending)
> [Install settings] > [Professional settings] > 
[Edge blending]
Overlapping edges of images from 
multiple projectors used together 
can be blended to make the overall 
image more seamless.
■ Basic Instructions
Follow these steps when using  two projectors side by side.
1In the [Install settings] menu, select [Professional settings] > [Edge 
blending].
2Select [Adjust].
The edge blending window is displayed.

Here, you can use the following settings in the edge blending menu.
3Select the position where the images overlap.
When you are adjusting the left image, this area is along the right edge of the 
image. In the edge blending window, select [Right] > [Adjust].
4Set [Marker] to [On].Marker lines are projected on the images. The red marker indicates the start 
position for adjustment, and the green marker, the end position.
Off Does not blend overlapping areas.
Adjust Displays the menu for blending overlapping 
areas.
Left, Right, Top, Bottom Off Projects an image with no correction.
Adjust Marker Off Hides the markers.
On Displays markers showing the adjustable blending area, with one line indicating the start 
position (in red) and another, the end position (in 
green).
Start position Moves the marker for the start position.
Width Specifies the width between the start and end  markers.
Reset Resets the marker settings.
Black level adjustment Adjusts the black level of non-overlapping image 
areas. (P158)
Reset Resets any adjustments you have made.
• If you have already completed edge blending settings, selecting [Adjust] will apply 
them.
• To restore the default settings before adjustment, select [Reset].
By default, the green and red markers are displayed in the same position, so only the red 
marker is visible.

5Select [Start position] and use the remote’s [ ] [ ] buttons to move the 
markers to the right edge where the images overlap.
6Select [Width], and use the remote’s [ ] [ ] buttons to move the markers 
to the overlapping area.The area between the starting and ending  markers is called the blending area. 
Brightness of this area is automatically adjusted to match the brightness of 
other image areas. After you complete settings for the left image, do the same 
thing for the right image, to specify the  blending area along the left edge. Adjust 
the area so that the blending area for the left and right images is the same.
7Set [Marker] to [Off].
Edge Blending with  Four Projectors
Specifying a large blending area may cause dialog boxes for input signal selection or 
status to be covered by the blending area. In this case, momentarily switch edge blending 
from [Adjust] to [Off], check the display, and then return the setting to [Adjust].
Although the starting marker is normally aligned with the image edge, it can also be 
aligned more toward the center of the image. In this case, the black ble\
nding area will lie 
outside of the starting marker.
Example: When specifying the blending area for the 
lower-right image, configure the settings for 
blending areas along the top and left image 
edges.
Complete the settings for the other three 
images the same way for the edges that 
overlap.
Images from four projectors can also be blended, as 
shown at left.
Specify the blending area where each image overlaps 
with others.

■Advanced Instructions:  Black Level Adjustment
In overlapping projection, dark colors are projected with less intensity than other 
colors in the overlapping area. For this  reason, overlapping image areas might be 
more noticeable when the images themse lves are dark. You can make this 
overlapping area less distracting by ad justing the black level of non-overlapping 
image areas.
Here, the non-overlapping image area (from the end marker toward the center of 
the image) is called area “D.”
Normally, three areas are identified in the context of end markers: A, B, and C.
In the following instructions, only area D is adjusted, and the widths of A, B, and C 
are left at the default value of 0.
1On the edge blending screen of step 2 in Basic Instructions, select [Black
level adjustment] > [Adjust].
The black level adjustment  window is projected.
• To prepare for adjustment, set [No signal screen] to [Black], start projection with no input 
signal, and turn off the room lights, so that you can check dark image areas. ( P107)
• Set [Marker] to [Off].

■Advanced Instructions: Smoo ther Overlapping Areas
Adjustments to areas A, B, and C may make the black level along the right edge of 
area D (that is, the edge bordering the blending area) more noticeable than that of 
surrounding areas.
To compensate, adjust each area as follows.
When there are multiple blending areas relative to the projected image (on all 
edges), you must adjust the width of areas A, B, and C.
In this example, instructions are given for adjusting area B.

Adjustment”,  select [Adjustment type] > [Area] > [Side] > [Right].
