Projector Overlapping Solutions

[TuckerD]

A few years ago at USITT I saw some awesome projector overlapping / duplication solutions. The software seemed really powerful.

I'm not necessarily looking for that same company but if people could name off a few solutions in this vein I would appreciate it. I'm trying to build a list of things to research for a side project.

Thanks!

Do you mean overlapping as in edge blending? Or do you mean stacking multiple projectors on top of one another to increase the brightness of the image?
Either way, I really enjoy MadMapper as a solution to both; especially in the stacking / overlaying realm. Super easy to use. Super powerful.

Caveat, Mac only. But then you can use Syphon to pass video from your cueing software (i.e. Qlab) to MadMapper.

Edge Blending

You can download the demo if you want to try it out first. No saving. Has a watermark. Everything else is the same.

Most mid- to high-end projectors can handle edge blending in-the-box. You just have to provide unique, properly-formatted content to each one's input. Of course, physical alignment and the like is crucial for proper blending.
