Multi-projector autocalibration

Description

Achieve a perfectly warped and blended projection in minutes with Modulo Pi’s autocalibration solution.

Available as an option for the Modulo Player and Modulo Kinetic series of media servers, the autocalibration feature is designed to automatically align multiple video projectors on planar, curved, and dome surfaces for a pixel-perfect projection.

Developed by Modulo Pi, and available directly within the software the autocalibration module relies on a PoE camera and a series of automatically generated pattern to calculate unique warp and soft-edge parameters for each concerned output.

Supported PoE cameras

Supported cameras are :

• Flir BlackFly GigE
• Lucid Triton GigE 200S
  

Currently, the autocalibration module supports the use of one camera at a time.

Licensing

Licensing of the autocalibration module is output-specific. You will need as many licenses as you have outputs concerned by autocalibration.

If you have ordered your product with the autocalibration license included at the time of your purchase, the product’s internal license can include the autocalibration module for your outputs if you wish so The license can also be distributed on a stand-alone dongle.

*Info: This dongle must be connected to your V-Node on a Modulo Kinetic setup, and to your server on a Modulo Player setup.

The dongle should be connected to the server(s) whose outputs are being setup with autocalibration.

Autocalibration on a Kinetic Designer setup is not limited to a number of outputs and can be run on as many VNodes and outputs as your license allows. Dongles containing the appropriate license must be present on all concerned VNodes.

If you would like to add the autocalibration module to an existing setup, please contact our customer service and a specific license dongle can be sent to be added to your system.

!Warning: If the license is not present when launching autocalibration, the wizard will launch but will not complete successfully.

If the license is removed after performing autocalibration, the concerned outputs will be reset to manual.

The configuration(s), however, is not lost and can be reactivated if the license is plugged back to the server.
