Modulo PI develops an advanced multi-projector self-calibration system

This system is now available on the market as an option for the manufacturer's Modulo Player and Modulo Kinetic media servers..

The new multi-projector self-calibration module that has been developed PI Module allows you to automatically align multiple video projectors on flat surfaces, curves and domes, so that it is possible to automatically handle multi-projector soft edge blending and geometry.

This development, now available on the market, Delivered as an option for Modulo Player and Modulo Kinetic media servers, ensuring a reliable and significantly simplified workflow, as the manufacturer points out.

Specifically, Working with Modulo Player you can support up to one server, that is to say, up to six outputs in WQXGA resolution or four 4K outputs. By doing it with Modulo Kinetic, Self-calibration option supports multiple server configuration, resulting in an unlimited number of outputs and resolution support.

Modulo PI autocalibration system can handle independent calibration groups, as well as stacked video projectors. Besides, A versatile masking function ensures perfectly adjusted projection.

Completely developed by Modulo PI, This new self-calibration module is based on Power over Ethernet cameras (PoE) to offer fast and simplified wiring.

Using the manufacturer's media servers, Equipped with self-calibration option, a mixture of edges is achieved, High-precision media warping and playback in minutes and with zero latency.

In the summer of 2019, the design and production company ECA2 worked with a preliminary version of the Modulo PI self-calibration module to The Legend of Pangu, an innovative show that was held at the Chinese Culture Exhibition Center, in Lanzhou (see attached video).

The self-calibration module was used to automatically align twenty projectors from the manufacturer Christie and deliver a 3D cartographic video of 2.800 m2 on the surface of a dome.

“This is a totally revolutionary technology,” explained Clément Rabréaud., technical director of The Legend of Pangu-. It only takes thirteen minutes of operation, which means that if a projector ever needs to be replaced, “The entire system quickly returns to focus”.
