New DL.2 Collage Software sneak preview
Hey all,
We wanted to give everyone a sneak peek at what new toys we've been working on in the DL.2 Software for the next release.
We're adding a Collage Generator feature that allows seamless blending of multiple DL.2 fixtures of various array formats into a single large image. For example, this allows you to put 4 fixtures together and make a single giant 20K lumen image and manipulate everything as if it was a single fixture at that point.
The blending system we are using for this goes way beyond the basic edge fade manipulation that we've had in the software up until now. You can truly create a seamless blend in a few minutes time.
The video we've just posted demonstrating how this works and what can be done with it speaks for itself: http://creative.highend.com/splash/collageGeneratorSplash.html
We also have some preliminary information on how the Collage Generator feature functions using the DMX protocol: http://www.highend.com/pub/products/digital_lighting/dl2/docs/Collage%20generator.pdf
We're still several weeks off from a software release, but it's something to whet the appetite for what's to come...

The precision and repeatability of the motion system is really good now so you can take the units move them around then have them all snap together nicely into a giant image....or move the giant image to another position or screen. You just need to adjust position and keystone to get a good blend at each point you stop it at.
I can't wait to play...I may have to come visit TX again soon to get into this b/c I've got a big DL-2 job coming up in August.:headbang:
Think it'll be ready by then?
A beta version with collage for exemple
Thank's

Oh yeah, we should have it out before then. We're working hard to get a Beta version out within the next week hopefully.
