Multi-channel method for Cylindrical surface(R=2M, 3 projectors)

[buddy924]

Hi, John.



I am composed of 1 PC(Master) + 3PC(Slave) in conjunction with a cylindrical surface. The field of view(FOV) is 170 degree(H) * 44 degree(V). The ScreenSize is 5,934.12mm(H) * 1,616.1mm(V). The ScreenCenterFromEye is 2m because design point is eyepoint. but I don’t know what Orientation means, anyway.



I have tried to test 2 kind of SimIG.XML as follows.



<Test 1>

When I use one of the SimIG.XML files above mentioned, what kind of SimIG.XML do I use?



Thanks.

I'm not sure exactly what it is you are asking. Could you clarify the question? Also, what results are you getting when you test with these configuration files and how does that differ from your expected result?
