Bezel / Mullion compensation

[Matt H]

I am working off line and don’t have any way to test live, hence the question.

 

I have 4 LCDS in a row with a Watchpax on each, I can compensate for the mullions by spacing the display the required pixel count apart, this works when one media file is across all 4 displays.

 

Now if I want to use media files that are pre-split and I position them over the required displays, are there any tips for doing this, can I use the size of display setting to help?

 

Note this I am looking at doing this without proxy files so I can avoid pre sizing the content for the mullions.  

 

Thanks

The only way to do pre-split video is using a Video Proxy, so I'm not really sure what you're asking here. To use this, you need to create a separate video file for each display, spaced properly to match the distance between displays you set up in WATCHOUT.

Hi Mike,

 

If I use proxy video I understand that the content needs to be sized to compensate for the mullion area, this is due to proxy video playing back at the display resolution.

 

I was trying to cheat this and keep content equally slices up and not use proxy, compensating for the mullions in the stage window.

 

 

Now with a fresh look, I am realising that I need create the content correctly and use video proxy.
