Resolume Forum

Hi all,
I'm having a bit of a mare trying to set this up (I'm sure there is a very simple solution, but as yet I havent stumbled on it!)
I am using Arena 4 with just my laptop screen + 1 other output. this output is split into 2 projectors, and projected symmetrically (one projector is in rear projection mode)
All I need to do is blend the edge where the 2 projections overlap, to avoid a "block" look between the 2.
I tried to do it in the output but all i get is a fully opaque mask without the ability to fade gently. I also tried zooming in on part of a vignette, didnt work. then i tried making a mask in photoshop to put on the master (composition) - couldnt get it going.

Surely someone else out there has done this, whats the trick?!

Many thanks in advance

how is your output split?
maybe you could upload the screen setup file.

Hey Bob the builder, by symmetrically, you mean your two screens are the same (you're using a splitter) but facing in opposite direction (mirror), correct?

Here is how you can achieve the soft edge look with one image mirrored on two projectors with a central overlap:

• - create a new screen & slice in advanced output that won't be connected to any display
  - position and size the new slice to cover twice the area you want to "blend" on your old slice
  - enable edge blend for the two slices (your original slice and the new mock slice)
  - adjust the blend parameters (gamma, luminance, power) until you get your desired effect on stage.

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks very much, Oaktown, but I can't see an option to "enable edge blend" anywhere here is what I've got:

The option is in the [input selection] not the [output transformation]

Yes found it, got it all set up. just what I was looking for. Many thanks Oaktown, You're a star
Thanks ravensc too

Glad it worked out
