Edge Blend procedure (continued)
7. Adjust uplift edges (optional).
This step is necessary if you 
have uplifted the black levels 
in the previous step.
During the black level uplift 
process, brighter lines appear on 
the edges of the uplifted regions. 
This is due to the inactive area 
around the periphery of the DMD, 
also known as 
pond of mirrors 1.
To remove these edges, use the Edge Blend > Reduce Black 
Level Uplift Width settings for 
each projector individually. Enter 
X and Y corrections for each part 
of the image to achieve this.
The edges of the uplift area are brighter due to light from the pond of \
mirrors

Edge Blend procedure (continued)
8. Blend the images.
Set Edge Blend > Blending to On for 
each projector to activate s-curves in the 
blend regions.
Once blending is activated, use test 
patterns to detect irregularities within the 
blend and to correct them.
What test patterns to use
• Use White Field (recommended) 
and/or Grey H Bars, if you are 
blending horizontally aligned images, 
and Grey V Bars, if the images are 
vertically aligned.
What irregularities to look for
• The blend region might be darker 
than the rest of the image 1.
How to correct
• Adjust the Edge Blend > S-Cur ve 
Value setting until the blend region 
is the same as the rest of the image.

Edge Blend procedure (continued)
9. Set up segmentation (optional).
If you are feeding the same source into all the projectors and aim to ha\
ve each projector reproduce a segment of the source, you can use 
the Edge Blend > Segmentation function, or you can use an external processor to control the segments.\
To use the Segmentation function:
1. On each projector, set Edge Blend > Segmentation to On.
2. Test with the source. If necessary, enter further corrections as described in steps 6, 7 and 8 above.
Bear in mind that using the Segmentation function brings a loss of resol\
ution, as shown below:
1 Whole image
This is a 1080p image and contains 2,073,600 pixels.
2 Top left segment in a 2x2 array
This segment contains 518,400 pixels, a quarter of the original image.
3 The segment projected with a 1080p DMD
The segment zoomed in to fill a 1080p DMD. The pixels are larger but not greater in number.

• Orientation
Depending on how the projector is mounted, select the appropriate settin\
g from the drop-down 
list.
• Latency
Affects interlaced sources only. For fastest response, the Lowest setting gives minimum frame 
delay. For improved performance with films involving motion sequences, the Best Video setting 
uses adaptive de-interlacing and interpolation, but takes longer to proc\
ess.
Reset Default Settings
When you press OK to restore the factory default settings, a warning message appears, asking you to confirm or cancel.
Once the process has begun, wait one minute and then power cycle the pro\
