3. Hardware Installation Program and Source Link Connections sáÇÉç=mêçÅÉëëáåÖ The purpose of the edge-blending process is to provide a smooth transition for the eye over the blending region. To provide a smooth transition, identical image data from two different projectors must be superimposed and the output from each projector must be edge feathered to provide seamless optical mixing of the two source images.
3. Hardware Installation Program and Source Link Connections • Edge Feathering The overlapping image data in the blend region must be edge-feathered to support a seamless optical blend. The transfer function must be programmable to support blend regions of different widths and adjust to different video characteristics. A typical blend function is illustrated below.
