Displaying test pictures

To align a number of projectors for split pictures Wings Vioso RX features a function which calls up prepared test pictures and displays them on all displays or projectors, respectively. Please bear in mind that this function is not suitable for aligning the overlapping projection areas for softedge projection. In such a case you'd better proceed as explained in workshop Creating a multidisplay show.

Close all open multidisplay screens by pressing Shift and Esc. In the main menu, click Presentation – Test pictures and the corresponding dialog box will appear.
Click on Select directory and enter the folder holding your prepared test pictures.

If Wings Vioso RX was installed from the DVD, you will find a few test pictures in the Wings Vioso RX program folder, which is usually located at drive:\....My Documents\AV Stumpfl\Media Samples/Test charts.

Following this, all pictures contained in this folder will be displayed in the list of test pictures. It is also possible to display only pictures of a certain size. To do so, click on next to Picture size and select the corresponding size.
Under Mode the type of display can be selected:
Top left corner, original size, i.e. exactly 1 : 1
Fullscreen with correct aspect ratio (picture may be changed in size)
Fullscreen (picture may be distorted and changed in size)

Highlight the corresponding test picture, click on Display picture and this picture will be displayed on all displays. Use buttons and to jump from one picture in your sequence of test pictures to another. Click on to make the test picture disappear again.

In Dual Monitor Mode the test pictures are only displayed on the first monitor.
For the test pictures to be displayed by the client as well, button Enable network must be depressed. The pictures only need to be available on the master.
When using test images for a show, please note that a margin with a width of about one pixel cannot be displayed on the screen. This means that the effective width and height of a texture is reduced by two pixels. This has no relevance for the function Displaying test pictures.
