DigitalSpot 5000 DT The mirrored image configurations bring 2 advantages: 1. Resolution of the source image and merged images on the wall is the same in comparison with non-mirrored configuration (if you use suitable mirrored configuration – see example 3 below). 2. By using the picture merging with mirrored configuration you can cover any size of projection area. The total number of used projectors is unlimited. Examples: 4 DigitalSpots 5000DT are used in the picture merging.
DigitalSpot 5000 DT Global effect 1- Parameter 2 The DMX values from the range of 0-255 are used to step segment by segment throw the image grid. The DMX value of 0 corresponds to the upper left segment of the image grid. The stepping runs from the left to the right and down from top (see example for field 8x3 segments bellow). Global effect 1- Parameter 3 This channel enables to transform displaying of the segment edges-sharp or blended edges.
DigitalSpot 5000 DT Global effect 2 A DMX value of 20 enables fine adjusting of the red, green and blue gamma curve at overlaping edges to achieve consistent colour (brightness) of these parts of image. Note. After selecting desired image segment for the gamma correction (by means of the Global effect 1 Parameter 2), set the channel Global effect 1 - Parameter 3 to 0 in order to display blended edges of the picture segment.
DigitalSpot 5000 DT 8. To execute the picture merging ,run the same gobo/video on all six fixtures and set the channels Global Effect 1Parameter 3 to a DMX value of 0-130. Note: In order to assure a correct playback of videos sequences , all fixtures in the picture merging system should be synchronized to the one (master) fixture - see the chapter bellow. 24.
DigitalSpot 5000 DT Size of segments in X-axis: LpartX = LtotalX/[x-(b/100)*(x-1)] LpartX =1024/ [3-(10/100)*(3-1)] the size of overlapping edges was selected 10% (b=10) LpartX = 366 pixels Since the size of the segments in Y-axis is the same as at the source picture, each of the 3 fixtures will project picture with resolution of 366x768 pixels. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Note.
DigitalSpot 5000 DT 25. Effect video synchronization The synchronization option can be set separately for each gobo layer (channels Synchronization to ID). The fixture synchronization acts with the fixture ID which is defined as the last number of fixture´s IP address. This fixture ID is shown on the fixture´s display. The fixtures are synchronized to the one fixture - named a master fixture.
DigitalSpot 5000 DT 26. Projection onto angular, cylindric or spheric surfaces If a projection on curved surface is required a correction of the shape distortions is necessary. The DigitalSpot 5000 DT supports projection onto angular screens, cylinders and spheres. 26.1 Curved surface support channels Global effect 2 This channel enables you to select desired shape of the surface: To simplify a correction process, there is a gobo with a net pattern (DMX value = 2) in a factory folder No.
DigitalSpot 5000 DT Global effect 2- parameter 2 This parameter enables to adjust the horizontal length of the edge. A DMX Value of 128 = no adjustment, values below 128 move the edge to the left, values above 128 move the edge to the right. Global effect 2- parameter 3 This parameter enables to adjust the vertical length of the edge. A DMX Value of 128 = no adjustment, values below 128 move the edge downwards, values above 128 move the edge upwards.
DigitalSpot 5000 DT Note: If a projection of rectangle (square) on a circle (sphere) is selected on the channel Global Effect 2 (DMX value of 10 or 11), the meaning of the Keystone parameters in a DMX chart will be changed as follows: Channel Type of control DMX value Function 0 -127 128 129-255 Image moving in an X-direction Moving the image from left to center Center Moving the image from center to right proportional step proportional 0 -127 128 129-255 Image moving in a Y-direction Moving the imag
