NAM2-1 Image alignment module installation guide

2 November 2015

How it works The image alignment module (NAM2-1) takes the video signal from the PCs connected to the projectors

and allows you to control the geometry of each image separately to bring them together in a single

seamless projected image. The adjustment of the image is done using the image alignment software

which is downloaded onto a configuration PC (see page 3). The configuration PC is wirelessly connected

to a router that is connected to the NAM2-1 via the Ethernet jacks.

NOTE: The NAM2-1 will not expand or enlarge the images.

Before you begin

Before you install the NAM2-1 image alignment module, ensure you have

Installed the projectors and wall mounts

Adjusted the projected images using the dials on the wall mounts to get the images level, squared

and overlapping by a minimum of 2 inches

Installed the surfaces (flexible roll mat HPL or hardboard)

Installed and laser-aligned the touch modules

Step 1: Connect the NAM2-1 Figure 1

We recommend using the Wi-Fi router configuration as it allows you to readjust the image whenever

necessary without having to access wiring.

Once you have connected the NAM2-1 per Figure 1, you will see two separate desktops projected on the

surfaces.

The full desktop image may not be visible at this point because the display resolution for the NAM2-1 and

the PCs has not been set. This will be done in step 5.

Direct connect

The configuration PC can also be connected directly to the NAM2-1 via an Ethernet cable. This

configuration will require you to manually switch the single Ethernet cable between the two

Ethernet jacks to adjust the two images sequentially. It also requires the configuration of the

Ethernet adapter on the control PC.

Step 2: Set up communication between the configuration PC, the

wireless router and the NAM2-1 Ensure the wireless router is set up to use the IP address range 192.168.0.xx. This is the typical

default setting for wireless routers.

Connect the control PC wirelessly to the wireless router. If you need to configure the SSID,

security or IP address range, contact your IT department for assistance.

The image alignment module has factory setting IP addresses:

Channel A – 192.168.0.11 Channel B – 192.168.0.12

Step 3: Download and install the NAM2-1 software

Step 4: Create two channels on the NAM2-1 software Launch the NAM2-1 software on your configuration PC

To create Channel 011 (Ch A), Click File New Multi-Function. An icon will appear at the bottom panel.

To create Channel 012 (Ch B), repeat

There will now be two icons with a red “x” on the bottom panel

Step 5: Synchronize the two channels

Click Synchronize All

Wait until both the icons on the bottom channel have green checkmarks instead of a red “x”

Step 6: Set the display resolution for the PC(s) connected to the

projectors At this point, the NAM2-1’s resolution has been synchronized to 1920 x 720. The projector PC(s) must be set to match this resolution. NOTE: A magenta screen may flash every 20 seconds. You will not be able to see the full display when the resolution settings on the image alignment module and the projector PCs do not match. Right-click on the desktop of one of the projected images and navigate to the menu for screen resolution.

8 November 2015

If your system has one PC:

NAM2-1 (CH A) will automatically be selected as the Display option. Select 1920 x 720 from the Resolution drop-down menu.

Click on the image of the second display. NAM2-1 (CH B) will automatically be selected as the Display option. Select 1920 x 720 from the Resolution drop-down menu again.

NOTE: Windows® may provide a warning that some application might not display correctly. This does not affect the behavior of the Span ideation software.

9 November 2015

If your system has two PCs:

Select 1920 x 720 from the Resolution drop-down menu

Move over to the second display and repeat the steps to set the resolution

10 November 2015

Step 7: Image alignment Select the channel from the bottom panel for whichever projector has the larger image, either

011 (CH A) or 012 (CH B)

Click the Warp tab. This will overlay a grid on each projected image.

Move Pitch: The slider adjusts how many pixels the grid point moves each time you make an adjustment.

The default setting is 1.0 pixels. We suggest moving the slider to a larger number initially to make larger

adjustments first, then move the slider to a smaller number for precise adjustments to bring the images

together.

Start by selecting the alignment grid square in the top left corner. Use the arrow control on the

keyboard to move the grid point.

Select each of the remaining three grid points one at a time and adjust the image horizontally and

vertically

If necessary, repeat the process for the other channel by clicking the icon on the bottom panel

The screen will refresh every time a grid point position is moved. It is important to wait after a each adjustment for the screen to refresh before making the next adjustment.

Step 8: Save the settings Once the two images are aligned, you must save the settings as a file on the configuration PC. If you do

not save the settings, the warp settings you have applied will be lost the next time the NAM2-1 goes

through the power cycle.

You will also need to access the saved files for any future adjustments.

To save the settings

Click Open Config File and choose the file you saved previously

Click Synchronize All at the bottom of the panel to apply the saved settings to both channels
