GeoBox - M802EX - Edge blending processor

M800Ex is curved screen edge blending and digital mapping processor with the ability to provide multiple processing modules to control from 1 to 4 projectors based on user’s requirements. M801EX is designed with one processing module to control one projector, M802EX for 2 projectors, M803EX for 3 projectors and M804EX for 4 projectors. It was designed for sophisticated edge blending as well as image warping, stacking and projection mapping…etc. One M804EX can execute 4 projector edge blending without any additional equipment or splitter. Two M804EX can control up to 8 projectors. More M800EX can be cascaded for large scale display.

4 input ports (2x HDMI, 1x DP, 1x VGA) and 1x HDMI outputs are designed in each processing module. Digital input supports up to 7680*1200 @30Hz / 4096*2160 @60Hz with 4:4:4 full color sampling. Output supports up to 2048*1080 @60Hz. It is integrated with 10-bit high end processor, motion adaptive deinterlace, low angle smooth algorithm, 3:2/2:2 pull-down and supports non-VESA standard input timing. Programmable EDID can optimize input timing to get the best video result.

Advanced warp technology is embedded in M800EX. User can use IR controller, USB, WebGui and Ethernet to perform edge blending and sophisticated geometry alignment up to 17x17 control points. Linearity Grid Line Adjustment and Corner Wall image adjustment for mapping image at 90 degrees corner is a new function in geometry alignment. Separate R, G, B gamma correction for edge blending region color fine-tune, individual color correction for each output and 9 regions non-edge blending area black level uplift are also standard functions in M800EX. Users can see real time geometry and color adjustment to get optimized result. It is designed with Digital Mapping function and no need to mask source image for easy to prepare video content for projection mapping.

Image 90/180/270 degrees rotation and flip with 4k/60 input from various input sources are embedded in M800EX. It provides more flexible system configuration. HDMI loop out supports daisy chain connection up to 7680*1200 @30Hz / 4096x2160 @60Hz and allows large display with multiple M800EX cascaded. Video wall function in M800EX is to crop and allocate source image for each projector and set overlap pixels for edge blending. Complete curved edge blending can be achieved through remote controller and Ethernet without PC software, video distributor and splitter.

PIP (picture in picture) and POP (side by side) are standard functions in M800EX. PIP image size is from 320*180 up to 1920*1200. In one M804EX, user can display up to 8 different input contents on the screen. M800EX is an ideal solution for simulation. It can connect with inputs from multiple PCs and combine them into one seamless image. It also provides flexible displays in edge blending system. For a 3x projector edge blending system, user can configure as 1+1+1 independent display, 1+2 (two projectors blended) and all-in-one (three projectors blended). User can also execute edge blending with projector at portrait position without rotating source image to increase image height. It is a good fit with laser projector without the limitation in installation angle.

Using M800EX, users can replace high end projector with low cost projector without lens shift, warp, digital mapping and edge blending. It provides easy configuration, low entry barrier, cost effective, reliable and flexible solution.
