HQV Scaler–Switcher Warp Mapping and Edge Blend

Harnessing the power of the Reon™ video processor running state of the art HQV™ algorithms with expertly designed hardware and firmware from Calibre, HQView420 is a highly flexible image scaler which provides stunning image quality for professional, broadcast and corporate AV users. HQView420 includes 4-sided soft edge blend for seamless blending of multiple projectors and includes flexible geometry correction functions able to correct image shape and projector misalignment by dragging and dropping each image corner, or by pin, barrel, rotation or by keystone and rotation.Full warp mapping is also supported by HQView420. A flexible and intuitive PC application is included for easy warp map creation, or third-party generated warp maps can also be processed form automatic image alignment systems.
