VIOSO software can export warp and blend files in the Norxe Unify format. It consists of an MPCDI file generated for each calibrated projector, which contains a PFM file (Geometry), PNJ image(s) (blend + blacklevel maps ) and an XML (parameter definition).
Table of Contents
VIOSO 6 (Project Mode)
- Create a new project with the “Norxe” template
- In the Design step, replace the name of each projector with its IP address
- Proceed with the regular calibration steps, and at the end your export button will automatically transfer the warp and blend files over network to the projectors.
VIOSO 6 (Free mode) & VIOSO 5
Manual export – upload
From the main VIOSO window, go to File > Export Mapping
Choose the format Norxe Unify from the list and export.
Next, you can upload the files using the Unify interface.
Scripted export – upload
You can use VIOSO export scripts to automatically generate the files and transfer them on the network. Optionally you can also add conversion tasks and temporary files. Example:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <VIOSO> <File version="1.0.0" /> <CalibCommerceTask Typ="export" Format="Norxe" > <CommonParam bSilent="0" bNoVC="0" bNoGeomCorr="0" bNoBlending="0" bNoMask="0" bSeparatedSplitDisp="1" bAllToMaster="1" bBlankUnusedSplitDispParts="0" bExactFileName="0" FileName="tempFile" /> <Task Typ="convert" Format="observer conversion"> <SpecialParam customCntSpaceName="*" /> </Task> <TransferTask Format="Norxe" Device="PJ1" Core="192.168.1.100" > <Destination Core="192.168.1.130" /> </TransferTask> <TransferTask Format="Norxe" Device="PJ2" Core="192.168.1.100" > <Destination Core="192.168.1.131" /> </TransferTask> <TransferTask Format="Norxe" Device="PJ3" Core="192.168.1.100" > <Destination Core="192.168.1.132" /> </TransferTask> </CalibCommerceTask> </VIOSO>
Troubleshooting
You can debug the exported geometry from the PFM file with an image viewer like XnView and inspect any anomalities such as blank areas, cropped borders, folds..etc
