How to do edge blending in propresenter 6
On one or two occasions, when I tried to switch the left side to the right side, I got a lot of flashing of the VGA, source, and it still wouldn’t stabilize after 30 seconds. I was using two sources, one was HDMI, and the other a standard computer “VGA” (analog), the HDMI source was 1080i, while the VGA was WUXGA, (the max output from my MacBook Pro). Typically it seems to take 6-12 seconds to get from single screen mode until your split screen is up. The only issue with the Split Screen viewing, is that it can take some time to “sync”, and it did have trouble once in a while but correctable.
I have not used the split screen capability with the G6550WU as of yet, but did work as described when I reviewed the G6900WU so here’s what I learned back then: Of course, 3LCD and LCoS projectors don’t put their best colors up, in brightest mode either, but most will have some good looking color, just 10-15% below maximum brightness. But if you only need white, (seriously – black and white presentations in this day and age?) those whites are bright. That’s good color if used in modes with names like movie, theater, and sRGB. Typically, with projectors that lack lots of color lumens, you have to surrender as much as 50% of total brightness to end up with reasonably good reds and yellows. For openers, that makes colors harder to see if there’s ambient light.Īs a result, many DLP projectors with such color wheels measure lots of white lumens in their brightest modes, but typically have a real problem producing a decent red or yellow in those brightest modes. Short version is that Epsons including this one, offer an equal amount of color and white lumens, while some projectors offer a lot of white, but can’t muster up as much color. The video is still fully current, three years later. We created this video shortly after the new color lumens standard was released in 2012. Click to check out our Color Lumens video. Why is this important? Well, if you don’t have as many color lumens as white lumens, things can never be fully right. No wonder that 3LCD and LCoS projector makers love to pick on single chip DLP projectors that use color wheels, especially those with clear slices on the color wheels. Both projectors were in their brightest modes. Most notably, in brightest modes, projectors with low color lumens tend to have pure reds that instead appear like dark red wine, and so on.Ĭheck out the image above where the projected image on the left is from a 3LCD projector (coincidentally a much less expensive Epson), the one on the right, from a single chip DLP projector (a Mitsubishi – they, BTW quit the projector business a couple years ago). When you don’t have as many color lumens as white ones, bright color images are not correct, in that white is often brighter than it should be compared to certain colors. It’s only about 3 years, however, since there’s been a standard for color lumens.
On our site I’ve discussed color lumens vs white lumens extensively, going back to an NEC projector review written back in 2003.
