Hog III profile for Cat 4.06 Beta

[ILCstaff]

Does anybody have the newest profile Cat 4.06 m67b? My current Cat 4 profile will not control this version.

The main Catalyst profile in the hog 3 DOES control M67 - I've been using it of for the last 2 weeks with no problems.... (although I dont personally like the way its implemented on the hog3 - but thats a different matter.....)

A Matrix and a mix window profile has not yet been written - but its easy enough to use dimmer channels if you dont know how to write a custom profile in the desk.

What problems, exactly, with the Hog profile are you experiencing?

There must have been a bug in the HOG3 I was using, I tried a different desk today and it worked.

New question: I am trying to demo image blending on DL1s using Cat4.06. I am adjusting the keystoning on the Mix 1 and Mix 2 Options, but it is not having an effect on the image I am projecting.

Assuming screen res of 1024x768...

- Go fullscreen (both)
- enable HUD (both)
- unlock mixes
- Mix 1 on output 1 - set to 1024x768, position 0,0
- Mix 2 on output 2 - set to 1024x768, position 0,0
- set layer 1 to Mix 1, Layer 2 to mix 2
- for this example - get the same bit of content on both layers.
- Ensure you can see content normally full screen (scales up if necessary)

Do the same on both mix windows:
- open mix options
- blending: edge blend ON
- for Mix 1 - belnd right ON (20%)
- for Mix 2 - blend left ON (20%)
you should see right and left edges blended

Keystone - on both mixes:
- Mix: top button, 'select keystone ON'
***the image will disappear to under the 'mix options' window***
- close the mix options window
- position the mix by the centre marker
- adjust the corners as necessary


Note - you may want to sort out your keystone first before applying blend - as the blend seems to scale with the keystone, when moving the points.... which makes sense, but you may end up with more blend than you want. - try it both ways, and you'll see what I mean....


when finished, lock mixes and turn off HUD

Good luck lining up the DL1's with keystone applied.... you're braver than me!

Make sure that in the setup screen both outputs are set as : NO OUTPUT
If you leave this at mix all layers or something like that it will not work!!

I just did setup with 6 screens wide, with triple heads. Its no problem, it works fine. Even with DL1's coming in from strange angles. You can fix it very easy with the keystone outputs from the submixes...
