69 ❸ Displaying a Picture Using [EDGE BLENDING] A high resolution video can be projected on an even bigger screen by combining multiple projectors on the left, right, top and bottom.This projector is equipped with an “EDGE BLENDING Function” that makes th\ e edges (boundaries) of the projection screen indistinguishable. NOTE: • For projector throw distances, refer to “Throw distance and screen size” on page 231. • Before performing the Edge Blending function, place the projector in the correct position so that the image becomes square in the appropriate size, and then make optical adjustments (lens shift, focus, and zoom). • Adjust the brightness of each projector using [LAMP ADJUST] under [LAMP MODE]. In addition, use [REF. WHITE BALANCE] to adjust the [CONTRAST], [BRIGHTNESS] and [UNIFORMITY]. Before explaining use of the Edge Blending function This section explains the case for “Example: Placing two projectors side by side”. As shown, the projected image on the left is referred to as “Projector A” and the projected image on the right is referred to “Projector B”. Unless otherwise specified hereinafter, the “projector” is used to mean both A and B. Example: Placing two projectors side by side Edge Blending area Projected area Projected area Projector A Projector B 4. Multi-Screen Projection
70 Preparation: • Turn on the projector and display a signal. • When performing settings or adjustments using the remote control, enable the [CONTROL ID] so as not to activate the other projectors.

71 4 Select [CONTROL] → [ON] and press the ENTER button. Each [TOP], [BOTTOM], [LEFT], [RIGHT], and [BLACK LEVEL] has its own [CO\ NTROL], [MARKER], [RANGE], and [POSITION]. • For Projector A, set the [CONTROL] for the [TOP], [LEFT] and[BOTTOM] to [OFF]. Similarly for Projector B, set the [CONTROL] for the [TOP], [RIGHT] and [BOTTOM] to [OFF]. ② Adjust [RANGE] and [POSITION] to determine an area of overlapped edges of images \ projected from each projector. Turning on [MARKER] will display markers in magenta and green. The magenta marker is used for [RANGE] and green one for [POSITION]. [RANGE] (Determine an area of overlapped edges of images.) [POSITION] (Determine the position of overlapped edges of images.) Green marker Turn on [RIGHT] Magenta marker Turn on [LEFT] Magenta marker * The 2 screens are separated in the diagram for explanatory purposes. 4. Multi-Screen Projection
72 1 Adjust [RANGE]. Use the ◀ or ▶ button to adjust the overlapped area. TIP: • Adjust to overlap one projector’ marker with the other projector’s marker. 2 Adjust [POSITION]. Use the ◀ or ▶ button to align one edge with the other edge of overlapped images. TIP: • When displaying a signal with a different resolution, perform the Edge Blending function from the start. • Setting of [MARKER] will not be saved and return to [OFF] when the projector is turned off. • To display or hide the marker while the projector is running, turn on or off [MARKER] from the menu. 4. Multi-Screen Projection
73 Black Level Adjustment This adjusts the black level of the overlapping area and the non-overlapping area of the multi-screen (EDGE BLENDING). Adjust the brightness level if you feel the difference is too large. NOTE: This function is enabled only when [MODE] is turned on. Adjustable area varies depending on what combination of [TOP], [BOTTOM], [LEFT] and [RIGHT] are turned on. Example: Adjusting the Black Level when placing two projectors side by s\ ide Width of overlap Adjust [CENTER] Adjust [CENTER] Projector A’s image Projector B’s image Adjust [CENTER-RIGHT] Adjust [CENTER-LEFT] 1. Turn on [MODE] 2. Select [BLACK LEVEL] and press the ENTER button. The screen will switch to the black level adjustment screen. 3.
