| Title: |
Motorized Blend Alignment Tool |
| Abstract: |
A blending tool is described for blending sub-images of a multi-channel
projection system comprising a plurality of projectors. The blending
device typically has a number of adjustable optical blending means which
each are adapted to be mounted on a projector of said multi-channel
projection system. Using a removable controlling means allows automated
controlling of at least one of the adjustable optical blending means, or
a blending component thereof. The removable controlling means therefore
has engaging means for temporary engaging the removable controlling means
to the adjustable blending means. In a preferred version, the blending
tool allows remote control of the adjustable blending means such that
blending can be performed from the viewing side of the projection system,
even for rear-projection systems. Furthermore a method for blending and
projection systems adapted for being blended using the blending tool are
provided.
