Analog Way Smart Edge - Manual (Page 52)

In Edge Blending mode, Smart Edge can drive 2 video-projectors for horizontal or vertical Soft Edge. Used
as an 10 input switcher.
IMPORTANT: Before doing the following adjustments, make sure the 2 projectors are the same (mark,
model, type) with same lenses. The projector matrices should be imperatively at the
same resolution. The parameters of the 2 projectors should be homogenous (color,
gamma, lamp lifetime...). The screen projection should be vertical and perpendicular to
the projectors to avoid geometric distortion like bow or keystone. Use only mechanical
lens shifts, and avoid using them in their maximal values. Don’t use wide-angle lenses.
1) Connect your Computer & Video sources to the inputs of the Smart Edge and connect the two projectors to
the output #1 and output #2.
- Output #1 = Left projector in horizontal SEB configuration & Top projector in vertical SEB configuration.
- Output #2 = Right projector in horizontal SEB configuration & Bottom projector in vertical SEB configuration.
2) Select the input signal type.
3) Select the output format corresponding to the native matrix of the projectors.
4) Display the centering pattern (Output tab > test pattern > centering).
5) Adjust the test pattern in full screen (matrix) of each projector, with the Auto adjust, position or size adjustment
of the projector. Then align mechanically the projectors to have a covering area between 10 and 20% (of
each matrix) and to have the test pattern well aligned one on top of the other. As required, you can use the
burst pattern available in the output tab to adjust your projector.
• Example: Test pattern in horizontal SE configuration.

Projectors well aligned.
Top and bottom not aligned.
Edges not paralleled.
Too small covering area.
