I am wondering if there is any projection mapping/warping software that could be pre-configured and just fed a video input and it would warp the image with no other interaction.
Pretty much what I am thinking is an install where they want to map a dome using 6 projectors. The projectors, the surface (the building), and most if not all obstructions would not change from show to show. So the idea was to place a small computer (NUC or Mac Mini) inline from the source computer to the projector. All the warping would be done in this computer and it would just be sent a standard video feed from the show computer. So is there any software out there that could be pre set (with minor changes needed on a show to show basis) that can take any input within spec and warp it?
Making the input source match a specific set of specifications is not a problem since the content would be created for each show. But I would like to offload the warping and merging from the show computer to something at the projectors.
I have seen something similar done before but the hardware, software, ect was all custom built. I am hoping for something that I can put together with 'off the shelf" equipment. I was thinking Mac Mini's with QLab running but was wondering if there was anything else out there, or anything designed specifically to do just this.
