ABSTRACT

While traditional video engineers and projectionists have been managing the organization and blending of multiple projectors into one image for years, lighting and media server programmers are beginning to take on this task because of the evolution of features in many media servers today. This chapter looks at some of the software and hardware options in DMX controlled media servers that allow a single image to be blended across multiple display devices. One of the first steps to any type of project using projection is choosing the type and number of projectors needed to cover the projection area. Lens size is also critical to make sure the image utilizes the maximum number of available pixels in the image. Disguise is a complete integrated system of show visualization and playback. The internal 3D visualizer of the Ai is configured via a node-based system called the Salvation Engine.
