I have two Christie WX-10ks that I hope to edge blend vertically to obtain a 16x14 format screen (or so). Now, understand that I know very little about this, so please talk to me like I'm a five year old. From the '50s.
I believe I understand the basic setup - the WX-10ks have Twist cards, so I'll connect them via an Ethernet switch to a PC, and, after lots of headaches, I'll blend the edges and work out the brightness dropoff to get a seamless image. The software itself seems pretty straightforward, and although I know I'll sink a lot of time in finessing this, I think I can get it.
What then?
I hope to control this from Qlab as one composite display (1366 x 1200, let's say). Is that what I'm going to have once the displays are blended? Is that even how it works? Or, do I still need a Quartz Composer patch, or, worse, additional soft- or hardware in line to compile the displays together?
Before you recommend Watchout for this system, it's not an option for a variety of reasons. I have to use Qlab as the cuing software. I've looked into programs like Millumin (which is spectacular) as the output shell, but it only blends horizontally. And, if Isadora can do it, I'm not clever enough to make it or even understand the forums.
Anyway, I'm hoping that I'm misunderstanding the Christie tech support and Twist will make one display for me. If not, does anyone have any ideas where I should look?
