Edge blending explained
Some applications call for an image that is brighter and higher resolution than can be provided by one projector. In this situation a single image canbe created from multiple projectors but unless done well the image will show visible bands where the projected images overlap
Edge-blending technology solves this problem by eliminating the visible banding and creating a single bright, high resolution image across the screen.
Single image, two blended projectors - A bright, high resolution image with no band
Single projector, single image
Single image, two projectors - image is bright but has a band because the image is not blended

Single projector, single image
Edge blending multiple projectors in an array makes it possible to create very bright, high-resolution very wide projection displays. By using theHQView320 or HQView520 you can precisely control multiple, edge-blended images seamlessly, quickly and easily.
Designed with the end-user applications in mind, the HQView320/520 let you expertly edge-blend multiple, curved images seamlessly, on all four sides,for an unlimited number of projectors. Precisely control edge-blended images and warp displays to fit almost any projection surface flat or curved.
The Optoma Advantage
Traditionally blending solutions are time-consuming and complicated to set up with many incompatibilities between blending solutions and projectors.The Optoma blending solution removes this issue. Each Optoma ProAV projector model has been painstakingly tested with the HQView320/520 and a series ofoptimised presets developed that greatly reduces the complexity and time required to setup blending projects.
If you do require help with your blending project, uniquely, the industry leading Optoma ProAv support team is on hand to support your completeblending project the blending boxes and the projectors as a single system. This greatly simplifies the support process for you and enables us toassist you get your blending projects back on track quickly and efficiently.
For more than ten years Optoma has been one of the worlds foremost projector designers and manufacturers - amongst the very few companies that focusexclusively on projectors.
Today the Optoma range represents the evolution of projection expertise, honed and refined by manufacturing and supporting millions of projectors theworld over. This knowledge and skill has been distilled into our products and support services which are designed specifically for demandingprofessional applications.

Harnessing the power of the Reon video processor from IDT, running state of the art HQV algorithms with expertly designed hardware and firmware fromCalibre, HQView320 is a compact yet high performance image scaler with HDMI/DVI/Component/VGA input capability and HDMI/DVI output which providesstunning image quality for professional, broadcast and corporate AV users.
HQView320 includes 4-sided soft edge blend for seamless blending of multiple projectors and flexible geometry correction functions able to correctimage shape and projector misalignment by dragging and dropping each image corner, or by pin, barrel, rotation, or by keystone and rotation.
Full warp mapping is also supported by HQView320. A flexible and intuitive PC application is included for easy warp map creation, or third-partygenerated warp maps can also be processed from automatic image alignment systems making HQView320 ideal for dual overlaid projector alignment in 3Dprojection systems.
