Multi-Monitor & Projection Rendering With SpiderVision Plugin

The SpiderVision plugin allows creating various display and projection configurations including the following:

• Projections and multi-projector setups

  

• Configurable number of windows that can be arranged into multi-screen walls

  2×2 configuration

  4×1 configuration

• Syncker projections

• Multi-projector setups that are stored in the EasyBlend calibration files created via Scalable Display Manager and set up via EasyBlend SDK

The plugin provides:

• Tools for edge blending, non-linear image mapping, and color correction for each projection
• Full customization of each viewport by using a required view frustum
• Compensation for display borders by setting a custom offset view frustum for monitors
• Unlimited number of monitors and projections (limited by performance only)

• The plugin runs on Windows and Linux and supports DirectX 11, DirectX 12, and Vulkan graphic API.
• The supported version of EasyBlend is Scalable 7.0.
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package x64 is required.
• DPI scaling is not supported.
• This plugin cannot be used in a Qt-based application.

1. Add the plugin to your project by configuring it in SDK Browser (Configure Project -> Plugins -> SpiderVision Plugin):

   

2. Run the project runtime.
3. Launch the plugin.
4. Open the plugin interface with a hotkey (F10 by default, or as reconfigured via the config file).

5. Create and save a new configuration.The projection/display rendering is initiated after you load a configuration (select File -> Load in the SpiderVision setup window). The subsequent changes in the configuration will be applied on the fly.

   Notice

   You can import configuration files from outdated plugins (Projection plugin, Wall plugin) to continue using them.
6. Now you can configure viewports and projections, adjust the projection colors, warping, and other rendering features, as well as align the projected images using the calibration grid.
