Nureva Span ideation system

Image alignment module NAM2-1 installation guide

2 Sept 2015

Getting started Use the steps provided in this guide to set up the image alignment module as part of your WM220i Nureva Span ideation system installation.

Before you begin:

• Ensure the two projected images are overlapping. Following the Nureva Span ideation system - WM220i Installation guide should produce a two inch overlap of the images.

Materials Provided

• Two-channel image alignment module NAM2-1 • Image alignment module software • Power supply

You must supply (in addition to the items listed in the WM220i installation guide):

• Two 2-m Ethernet cables to connect Wi-Fi router to NAM2-1 • Two 2-m HMDI cables to connect the two PCs to NAM2-1 • Configuration PC – A PC separate from the PCs connected to the WM220i projectors. This PC

must be Windows 8 or higher. • Wireless router

How it works The image alignment module takes the video signal from each of the two PCs and lets you control the geometry of each image separately to bring them together to a single seamless projected image. The adjustment of the image is done using a configuration PC wirelessly connected to a router that is connected to the module via the Ethernet jacks. The images start with an overlap, then you use the configuration PC to shrink and adjust the images until they are completely flush and edge touching. The image alignment module does not expand or enlarge the images.

Wiring configuration

NOTE: The two 10-m HDMI cables connecting the projector to the image alignment module were fed through the projector mount during the wall mount installation.

NOTE: The configuration PC with the image alignment software can also be connected directly to the image alignment module via an Ethernet cable. This configuration will require you to manually switch the single Ethernet cable between the two Ethernet jacks to adjust the two images sequentially. It also requires the configuration of the dedicated IP addresses of the image alignment module with your IT department. We recommend using the Wi-Fi router as it allows you to readjust the image whenever necessary without having to access the image alignment module’s wiring.

1. Set up PC, wireless router and image alignment module communication

• Use the two Ethernet cables to connect the wireless router to the image alignment module • Ensure the wireless router is set up to use the IP address range 192.168.0.xx . This is the typical

default setting for wireless routers. • Connect the control PC wirelessly to the wireless router. If you need to configure the SSID,

security or IP address range contact your IT department for assistance.

The image alignment module has factory setting IP addresses:

Channel A – 192.168.0.11 Channel B – 192.168.0.12

The configuration PC with the image alignment software can also be connected directly to the image alignment module via an Ethernet cable. This configuration will require you to manually switch the single Ethernet cable between the two Ethernet jacks to adjust the two images sequentially. It also requires the configuration of the Ethernet adapter on the control PC. We recommend using the Wi-Fi router configuration as it allows you to readjust the image whenever necessary without having to access the image alignment module’s wiring.

2. Use the image alignment software to align the two images Ensure the two HMDI cables from the projector PCs and the two HDMI cables that were previously fed through the wall mount to the projectors are connected to the image alignment module. Once they have been connected you will see two separate desktops on the screen. At this stage the images should have a

slight overlap along the middle edge.

NOTE: The resolution setting for the image alignment module and the PC have not been setup. This will be done in step C.

Next, download, install and launch the configuration software onto your configuration PC.

A. Create two new channels Click File and select New Multi-Function. The new channel will appear at the bottom of the panel

• Repeat to create a second channel. There should now be two channels at the bottom of your panel

B. Populate the channel settings Start with the first channel you created by selecting from the panel at the bottom Click the Generic tab

• Set the resolution to 1920 x 720 60Hz • Select HDMI for Input Source Port • Fill in the IP address for that channel and click synchronize. The default factory settings for the IP

addresses are: o Channel A: 192.168.0.11 IP-A / HDMI Out-A o Channel B: 192.168.0.12 IP-B / HDMI Out-B

• Once the connection has been made the channel icon at the bottom of the panel will get a green

checkmark • Repeat the process for the second channel

C. Set the correct resolution on the projector PCs At this point, the image alignment module’s resolution has been set to 1920 x 720 60Hz. The projector PCs must be set to match this resolution. On PCs connected to the projectors:

• Right click on the desktop and select Screen resolution from the menu • Select GB-102 from the Display drop-down menu • Select 1920 x 720 from the Resolution drop-down menu. Ignore the low-resolution warning that

this setting generates. • Click Ok to apply the settings • Repeat with the second projector PC

NOTE: A magenta screen will flash every 20 seconds and you will not be able to see the full display when the resolution settings on the image alignment module and the projector PCs do not match.

D. Use the Warp tab to bring the two projected images together • Using the control PC • Select the channel from the bottom panel for whichever projector has the larger image • Click the Warp tab • Select Linear • Under Pattern, select Enable. Do not adjust any of the other settings under Pattern • Use the slider at the bottom of the panel to select a 2x2 grid

• Use the slider at the top to move to a larger number initially by sliding it to the right. This adjusts how much the control point moves. It is best to start with a larger number to move the points quickly at the beginning, then move to a smaller number to make more precise adjustments.

• Use the arrow control on the keyboard to move the grid points.

The screen will refresh every time a point position is moved. It is important to wait after each a adjustment for the screen to refresh before making the next adjustment.

E. Save the settings

Once the two images are aligned, save the files on the configuration PC. There will be a configuration save file for each channel. We recommend naming them to match your setup to make it easy to remember which file is for which channel. Once the alignment settings are entered, they are preserved in the NAM2-1. If you need to re-adjust the images for any reason, open this file and select Synchronize to use the file as a starting point.
