MINI USER MANUAL
Shutter Fixture
The Mbox software includes shutters, much like a Leko, which can be used to mask off areas of the final composited
output image. The shutters can be thought of as sitting between that composited image and the virtual camera that
provides the view of the image. The shutters do not only affect one layer or a group of layers, they affect the overall
final image.
Shutter Color
The additive RGB color mixing on the shutter fixture may be used to apply a color other than black to the shutter
blades.
Shutter Edge
The edges of all four shutters can be simultaneously adjusted from a hard edge to a soft edge. The softened edge is
centered on the line of the original hard-edged shutter.
Shutter Scale
Adjustment of the scale makes it possible to create an arrangement of the shutter blades and then reduce the size of
the shutter arrangement. Essentially all four shutter blades are being moved equally towards the center of the screen,
while maintaining their relationship to each other.

Keystone Fixture
The Mbox software includes keystone correction functionality that is controllable via either an incoming control signal
(Art-Net or sACN) or directly from the Mbox Remote application. The descriptions below refer specifically to
parameters that can be adjusted using Art-Net/sACN. For keystone/warp setup using Mbox Remote, refer to the
separate Mbox Remote User manual.
Keystone correction may be used to remove the image distortion created when you project upon a surface that is not
perpendicular to the axis of projection. The controls act upon a virtual "Keystone Rendering Surface" and allow the
output image to be manipulated so as to correct the squareness of the image, its rotation, size, and linearity.
Mbox Mini provides one mode for keystone control: Corner Adjustment. In this mode, each of the four pairs of
controls can be used to move the X/Y position of one corner of the keystone surface towards the center.
Note: The Art-Net/sACN controllable keystoning does not include warp functionality.
