Edge-blending

When a very large seamless image is required. Typical uses/markets:

  • Control Rooms-transport/security/military/services
  • Large conference/meeting rooms
  • Exhibitions
  • Reception/lobby display
  • Retail
  • Sports bars

How does edge-blending work? The original signal is split into individual components to match the number of projectors being used. Where the images are to be blended, the brightness at the edge of the image is graded (reduced) so that when the images are overlapped, it is almost impossible to see the join. This enables very large seamless images to be created.

Stereo 3D - what is Stereo 3D and how is it achieved?

  • Passive Stereo

    Passive Stereo 3D means you can see two 3D images put together as one. Cyviz convert an incoming stereo 3D signal to two monitor signals, one for the right eye and the other for the left eye. The signals are then routed to two projectors, which are stacked and project images in register. To obtain a 3D effect, or polarised filter is fitted in front of the lens on each projector, the combined image must then be viewed through polarised 3D glasses.

    The projectors provide two slightly different projections of the 3D software model. The light from one projector is polarised 45 degrees and the other by 135 degrees. By using the special glasses, a stereo sco-pic image is created. The effect is similar to the one created by ‘active stereo’, though there is no flickering experienced on these glasses.

  • Active Stereo - What is an active stereo system?

    The term ‘active stereo’ refers to the use of the glasses with liquid-crystal shutter lenses. In conjunction with compatible software, these glasses ensure that the frames specified for the left and right eye respectively, are correctly displayed. To achieve flicker-free viewing, the frequency must be above 96Hz or rather 43fps (frames per second). This solution is expensive to use due to the high cost of the shutter glasses.
