    Edge Blending -- Isadora

    Probably too late, but fyi that actor is not available in the regular version of Isadora. You can achieve similar results using a black-to-transparent gradient (e.g. made in Photoshop) and placing it on a layer above (higher than) your content layer. You will need to set the blending mode of...

    Balun question - KanexPro

    Thanks for the info. Yes I have now abandoned the pass-through option - I tested a simplified version and it was shocking how much the image degraded. Thanks for the tip on the Cat5!

    Balun question - KanexPro

    Hi All, has anyone used this balun and if so is it any good? KanexPro VGA Extender over CAT5/6 with Audio VGAEXTX1 B&H Photo Also, I have had skew problems with cat5 before and wondered if this Geffen cable will be OK or if I should try to find some 'low-skew' cat5? My run will be only...

    How to control multiple projectors (power on/off)

    Most of the projectors I work with let you assign a specific ID # to the remote and to the projector through the menu...this means that you can configure projector-specific remote controls. The Epson EX7200 does list "ID" under remote control features in the spec sheet so it might be worth...

    Chromatic aberration / video over Cat5

    Chromatic aberration / video over Cat5

    Hi Everyone, I'm getting serious chromatic aberation in a video over Cat5 run to a Sanyo XF-47 projector. Tweaking the level and peak dials on the unit change it somewhat but don't eliminate it. It's an Extron MTP unit (sorry don't have the exact model number to hand right now) and the Cat5...
