<p dir="auto">I'm trying to take a single image, send it to 6 projectors (through (2) Matrox Triple Head to Go units), to create a full blended image on an RP screen. I expected with the new edge blending output that this would be easier to achieve than what I've cobbled together in the past, but I'm getting odd outputs.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm sending a single picture player with a 3072 x 1536 resolution to (6) 1024x 768 projectors (stacked 3 across x 2 high), and would imaging that it should give me enough pixels to spread across the projectors.  In "Stage" preferences I've assigned stages 1-3 to Display 2; 4-6 to Display 3, and divided each group as Left/Center/Right thirds.  The (6) projector actors are assigned to Stages 1-6.  Each projector was double clicked and the Izzy Map set for an output of 1024 x 768.</p>
<p dir="auto">When I plug from the picture player to the projector (leaving all values as default), I get a full picture image in each stage, so 6 individual images. Zooming out spreads the image across the 6 projectors, but seems arbitrary...what value do you choose, where do you position each portion of the image so the image will line up?</p>
<p dir="auto">Is there a way to tell Isadora that I'm taking this one image and want to split it up among 6 projectors, and have Isadora do the math to spread it out? I would assume that then entering Output/Stage Setup would allow me to work with the edge blending to help the six projectors blend together.</p>
<p dir="auto">Somewhere I'm making a logistical error, so any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks.</p>

<div>This is all really helpful as I mostly produce on large background for our productions.  Is there a way to use the CI actors to accomplish the same thing?</div>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/post/14178</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://community.troikatronix.com/post/14178</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[djprovost]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 08 Jan 2015 06:27:48 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to I am missing something in blending projectors on Mon, 05 Jan 2015 20:12:09 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">I wouldn't use the panner. i'd use the chopper (for pictures) or chopper fast for video</p>

Here is one solution. Next step would be to add the feathering in the Stage Setup window (v2.0) if you need it.<br />

<p dir="auto">Have you tried the newly released Early Bird version (b16 i think)?<br />
Also, I am curious what happens if you replace the projectors with new ones, set the stage number and Do Not activate the mapping feature.</p>
<p dir="auto">It sounds like you have the triple heads setup correctly in the preferences. Being 2 displays set across the 6 stages, and split into 3rds.</p>
<div>  
can you attach a screen grab of your patch?</div>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/post/13978</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://community.troikatronix.com/post/13978</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[DusX]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 17 Dec 2014 08:09:02 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to I am missing something in blending projectors on Wed, 17 Dec 2014 05:22:02 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">I tried your suggestion Bodo--no luck.  If anyone has a flow chart of a successful blend of multiple projectors--which actors might I use, and what kind of zoom is needed, I'd certainly appreciate your thoughts.</p>
