Prepare Modulo Player for the calibration

!Before moving forward, be sure the SpinView software is closed, otherwise Modulo Player will not be able to communicate properly with the camera.

In this chapter we will prepare Modulo Player for the calibration.

• You can now start the Modulo Player Remote application.

Configure the Outputs of the server:

• On the Control page, click on Settings and go to the AMD tab
• Then force the EDID and create the EYEFINITY

*For the following steps, we will assume we have 5 video projectors supporting a 1920×1080 definition.

Create a new Show and transfer media pattern:

• Be sure the Modulo Player is stopped
• In the Control page, go to Settings and define a new Project Folder

• On the Transfer page, transfer the Dome_pattern_polar_4096×4096.jpg media from your Modulo Player Remote (left part) to the Modulo Player server (right part).

Define the Workspace dimension and add Outputs:

• Go to the General page and define the workspace with the same size of our media, which is 4096×4096

*Because a dome is circular, media content is circular as well and holds in a square file of 4096×4096.
We defined this particular resolution considering the size of the dome and the quantity of video projectors.

• Go to the Output page
• You can use the Wizard tool to create the five outputs we need
• On each output, change the MAP dimensions from its default value 1920×1080 to 4096×4096

Indeed, each video projector needs to MAP all the workspace content to perform the calibration.

!Before operating the autocalibration, each output needs to be free of any warping/columns/raws.
For this reason, creating the outputs from scratch is a good way to have it proper.
Columns/raws values need to bet at 2×2 and set to Curve.

• Add the pattern media on a Cue into the Playlist:

The projectors should now project the pattern picture.

We are now ready to start the autocalibration.
