Once you have adjusted the crosshairs to a desired position, press set/enter to capture the color value at that instant.
- Soft Edge Blending configuration To make an image as seamless as possible, the first element you need to consider is the configuration of your projection. You will also have to know which video projectors you plan to use. The quality of your projectors will have a direct impact on the end result of the Soft Edge. The video projectors must be physically aligned to provide an image on the screen within one pixel precision, with no distortion.
- Soft Edge Blending Adjustments The principle of Soft Edge Blending lies in projecting an image on a wide screen thanks to two or more video projectors displaying the same content. Overlapping or covering areas are created on the screen where two adjacent projectors meet. Basically, each overlap zone receives the light of two video projectors and receives the content projected twice. The art of Soft Edge Blending is to harmonize, or blend the overlapping area with the rest of the image.
- Soft Edge Blending Adjustments (continued) Finally, since the overlapping zone receives the same image from the video projectors twice, adjustments have to be done inside the overlapping area. Making a perfect blend entails gradually decreasing the light provided by the video projector on the left side of the overlapping zone, while gradually increasing the light provided by the video projector on the right side, at the same time.
To help you calculate the correct screen/picture ratio, Analog Way offer free software to faciltate the calculation of key parameters. By entering basic information, such as your projector matrix size and your image size, you can automatically obtain all the essential variables (Projector image size, distance between projectors, etc.) to make your Soft Edge. It is also recommended to use a Hi-Res DVI computer source for this background.

REMOTE CONTROL SOFTWARE 5-1. THE STE200 RCS RCS presentation The RCS is a powerful tool to exploit all the features of your STE200 at distance. By LAN or RS-232, you will be able to do exactly the same manipulation as you could do from the front panel. User-Friendly and easy-to use, you will very quickly be able to manipulate the RCS tool. How to use the RCS ? You have to install the software on a Computer and have a LAN board or RS-232 link to use the RCS.
Software overview The RCS software for your STE200 is composed of several easily identified sections. The tabs menu (1) allows you to navigate through the equivalent of the STE200 front panel menu items (see also “The STE200 Menu” p.28). The green window of the RCS (2) represents your Preview window and can be used to parameter sources, frames, layers and logos directly by clicking on the corresponding button, then navigating through the different available tabs.
Serial connection 1. Connect a RS-232 cable between the STE200 and your PC, then power on your devices. 2. Click on the RCS program file on your PC to run the software. 3. Click on the “Connections” tab and select RS-232 as the connection type. In the dropdown menu, select the COM port number corresponding to the connected device (default is Port Com 1). 4. Click apply, and wait for devices to synchronize. The RCS will display the following connection message: “Device Connected”. 5.
5-2. WORKING WITH THE RCS Source input configuration Once your STE200 is wired up to your PC, the first step in properly configuring your machine is to individually select and parameter your inputs. 1. Click on the “Inputs” tab of the RCS. 2. In the Plug column of the “Input” page, select the plug type by clicking the appropriate field. 3. Activate the input in the Enabled column if it is not. 4. In the scroll-down menu of the Type column, select the signal type connected to that plug. 5.
Embedded Edge Blending Mode In Edge Blending mode, Smart Edge FX can drive 2 video-projectors for horizontal or vertical Soft Edge. Used as an 12 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...).
6) Adjust and size each input so that they are full screen in the test pattern. - For computer sources: click on the Centering button in the Image main tab. As required, adjust the position with the H & V position adjustments. - For video sources: Select the Image main tab and adjust the position with the H & V position adjustments. 7) Select the Horizontal or Vertical edge blending mode by clicking on the horizontal or vertical button.
10) Select the Black tab to display the following windows: 10-A) Turn OFF the test pattern (Pattern > No Pattern). 10-B) The covering area will appear brighter than the non-covering areas. With the Black level function adjust the 2 non-covering areas (Left and right) to obtain a uniform dark grey on all the screen: Select the 3 colors and adjust the black level. As required, you can also separately adjust the colors of each projector with the Red, Green & Blue adjustments.
11) Soft Edge curve explanations & adjustments: • EXPLANATIONS: --> The operation consist of attenuate progressively the light diffused of one projector and in the same time increase symmetrically the light of the other one. Thus, at any point (X) of the covering area, the sum of light (Y1+Y2) provided by each projector must be equal to the light that would be provided by one projector alone.
* NOTE *: • To ease the adjustment, one Soft Edge curve is available. Then according to your observation, keep the best curve. • Most of the time, Bezier curves gives a good and easy to get adjustment. Nevertheless experienced user can try adjustments. Click on the line to have access to more adjustments (11-C).
