CompactControl is a mandatory set-up and support
tool for all 3D perception's projection products. It allows the
user to define a model of the actual theatre scenario and to place
projectors, screens and eye-points into the theatre model at the
correct physical locations.
Allows for automatic and/or manual geometry
adjustment, soft edge blending, gamma correction and colour balancing
to create a continuous
picture with evenly distributed light intensity and to download
the parameters derived to the projectors or CompactUTM zer0.
The following characteristics highlight some of the special features:
Image Warping
- Automatic from actual data relating to the projection
theatre
- Manual
for fine-tuning (up to 100 control points)
- From file
(a user specified data file of the coordinates)
Image Source FOV
Soft Edge Blending
- Multisided
soft edge blending
Colour Balance Adjustment
- To create a uniform distribution of colour.
Mirrors
- Add mirrors to a projection theatre
Scaling
- Control and define scaling (for CompactUTM zer0 only)
Stereo
- Control active stereo shutter glasses
Scenarios
- Create scenarios with different settings for various
light intensities in order to interpolate appropriate settings
from specific requirements
fed in during live running
Interfaces
When installed on a PC, CompactControl communicates with projectors
via a serial line, whereas communication to the CompactUTM
zer0 requires an Ethernet connection.
CompactLink
The CompactLink protocol supports a permanent real time communication
between the CompactControl software package and the host
simulator. This communication can be used to control various
projector
functions, such as Projector On/Off, Scenario dependent
colour and gamma
settings and System monitoring
Graphic User Interface
The GUI is based on normal Windows principles
including a complete Help function.
System Requirements
CompactControl is normally installed on a PC running Windows
NT4.0, 98, 2000 or XP. A processor speed of 600 MHz and 64 Mbytes
of RAM is recommended.
