    Multi, image mirror

    by sadcrew » Mon Sep 27, 2010 5:43 pm

    Hi!

    I'm preparing a multiprojection under a road bridge. The roof and both sides will be illuminated. Here comes a problem, I don't have image flip option able on my beamers, so I can't reverse the image on the "C" side. I could flip the image on M8, you would say, right but I want my projections to be one whole big countinuous image. Is there any way to reverse the last image to have something continuous?

    an easy fix is to use a triplehead2go and have the two wall projectors on their sides.
    you will overshoot on the height but it will work.
    a bigger problem is covering the roof with one projector and not enough throw.

    Thanx for tour answer Deepvisual,
    I'll use my tower for this projeckt, so I'll have 3 output from it. In the advanced output panel I couldn't find a flip option. I'm wondering if somebody had the same problem and found a solution to fix that. Thanx for your help!

    The only solution I have now is to put the projector up side down... or a scan converter, right, the question is we are already in the red with the budget..
    To make directly the flips in Module 8 would be so much easier, it would be a great help for this kind of projections

    . can you just change the x,y or z rotation for the layer 180 degrees ?

    Yes, as said before, I could just rotate the concerned layer. But I have 1 big animated layer, running on the 3 beamers.. That's the reason why I'm trying to flip the image without touching the layers

    I understand your problem and as I see it you can't flip the screen in the Advanced output (but I could be wrong of course). It would have been practical if there was such a button or if you could set the width and height to negative values.

    Have your researched if you can do it either in the screen settings in OSX preferences? (can you access each screen there?) or if there is a 3rd party program that lets you do this?

    You have this setting: System Pref | Screen | Rotate - select 180 degrees, but I'm not sure you can access your screens separately there, can you?

    It works like a charm! in the preferences screen setting, right! You can individually reverse the image and solve definitely the problem! Thanx, I never noticed that option, you save a lot of wasting in energy and money.

    Cheers,
