To configure an Encore system for vertical array blending, please note the following
important points:
• All cabling to the VP and VPx units is the same as a standard widescreen setup.
• When setting the ID of your VP and VPx units, the lowest ID maps to the top
screen in a vertical configuration. Subsequent IDs map down towards the last
screen on the bottom.
• In an “array” configuration, the lowest ID is the top/left screen. Subsequent IDs
map to the right and then down — starting with the left-most screen, and moving
over to the right.
Use the following steps to access vertical or array blending:
1. On the Destination Setup Menu, add your widescreen VP and VPx units to the
list as normal.
2. In the Dimensions field, configure the VP and VPx units as desired.
S Suppose VP IDs 1, 2, 3 and 4 were added to the list. The Dimensions field
enables you to select between the following arrays:
~ 4W x 1H (4 screens wide by 1 screen high). This is a standard horizontal
widescreen configuration.
~ 2W x 2H (2 screens wide by 2 screens high). This is a 2x2 screen array.
~ 1W x 4H (1 screen wide by 4 screens high). This is a vertical widescreen
configuration.
3. Once the Destination Menu has been configured, navigate to the Wide Screen
Settings Menu
(under the Output Menu) to set up widescreen parameters.
4. Adjust H Overlap and/or V Overlap as required. When making these
adjustments, turn on the
Alignment Test Pattern on the Test Pattern Menu
(
Output > Test Pattern).
~ For a horizontal widescreen, select Hor to display a test pattern of
horizontal lines.
~ For a vertical widescreen configuration, select Ver to display a test
pattern of vertical lines.
~ For an array, select Both to display a test pattern of both horizontal and
vertical lines.
5. Perform edge feathering adjustments in the Feather Setup Menu (Output >
Widescreen > Feather Setup
). Note that in the Test Pattern Menu, a new
pattern called
Gray Bars has been added to assist with vertical blending
configurations.
Note
Encore can create destinations with Processors that do not
have the same number of M/Es — in which case, the system
operates at the lowest common denominator of M/Es.
