TECH TIPS

Improved Edge Blending with HIGHlite Pro Series

Digital Projection's capable HIGHlite Professional Series displays have already found homes in numerous major events and venues. In many cases, multiple HIGHlites are employed in projection arrays to create images of extraordinary aspect ratios and resolution. In most of these applications, soft-edge blends are carefully aligned to assure the transition from one projector's image to the next, is visually transparent.

Although external edge-blending systems can be utilized, all four products in our HIGHlite Pro Series lineup (8000/12000sx+, 10000/12000HD) include 4 side soft-edge blend as a standard feature. In the latest version of HIGHlite Pro firmware, the edge-blend capabilities have been improved in two notable ways.

1. The bit-depth resolution of the blend ramp (the area of the image where two units overlap) has been increased from 8 bits to 10 bits. This means that the soft-edge area of the image can now be ramped down in 1024 discreet steps.

2. A black level compensation adjustment has been added. Specifically, the black level (brightness) of the non-blend area can now be increased on each projector, such that the black level of the non-blend area matches the black level in the blend area. For clarification, the black level in the blend area is normally 2X the black level of the non-blend area, due to the fact that two projectors are displaying content in the blend zone. Employing this feature does reduce the contrast ratio of the blended display to 50% of the contrast ratio of the projectors being employed, however, with the non-blend black level now matching the blend black level, content producers are free to create and display any imagery they like - even fades to black - without worry that the magic of the soft-edge-blend will be revealed.

To carry the HIGHlite Pro series' blend capabilities even further in application creativity, DP's optional image warp card can be added to each projector. When so equipped, HIGHlite Pros can apply dynamic geometry correction to the input sources, making possible the accurate display of imagery on compound-curved and even multi-plane screens. When applying DP's LIGHTNING Pro series projectors (35HD, 35HD-T, 30sx+) in your venues and events, similar 4-sided blend and image warp capabilities are enabled through use of our amazing MMS 1000 multi-media switcher.
