About this ProduCt
The newly designed system architecture and a powerful warp core
technology enable high quality image corrections. The innovative
“Resolution pass-through” - technology allows an easy integration of the
device into any environment without the necessity to configure the
resolution. Extensive possibilities for color and brightness correction
allow optimal alignment of multi-channel installations. Color-shading,
alpha masks, pixel-accurate blending complement the functionality and
make the system a perfect tool for the realization of multi-channel
projections. Like the previous version openWARP ² has also over an
extremely short processing time.
With openWARP² projections can be curved or bent to almost any surface
perfectly realized. For the set of distortion, different types and interfaces
are put at disposal. In addition to the built-in functions, external
calibrations are imported. Due to this open system structure camera-
based calibration systems or automatic color corrections can be easily
integrated.
The unit also offers a real-time mode to change distortions in real time.
With this feature highly dynamic applications can be realized in which
the distortion must be adapted in real time to changed projection
conditions.
The configuration is transferred via USB to the device. With the optional
communication board an additional serial or LAN interface is provided.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

stArtuP ProCedure
This section describes how to start up the openWARP². This includes athe
EDID Mode explanation and driver installation.
Visual Signal Inputs
The openWARP ² channels can be connected only via DVI-D with an
image source and a display (eg monitor or projector). To start up a PC an
EDID signal for automatically monitor resolution is usually necessary.
openWARP ² offers the possibility of this signal from the display loop
through (EDID pass throgh mode) or to use an EDID information to the
DID internal flash memory (internal EDID mode). The selection of the
EDID mode is done via the switch on the back of the case.
In internal mode, the EDID EDID information of the connected monitor is
not included. The hot-plug signal is generated by the device openWARP².
The EDID information has to be programmed directly with a DDC
programming device to the DVI input.

NOTE:
The EDID / DDC signal is also available in the off state.

STARTUP PROCEDURE

openWARP² designer software
Each channel can warp to control and configuration are connected
directly to a PC. Given the channel with a USB cable AB is to be
connected to the PC. Also, several channels are connected to a PC.
Driver installation
There is a special driver for the USB connection to install. The driver is
located in the subdirectory, USB device driver ‘of the software package.
Select the subdirectory as the source for the driver installation:
NOTE:
Occasionally, a problem can appear when using the software, because
Windows does not correctly detect software installation. To solve this
problem, the file vcredist_x86.exe ‘should be started from the Driver
subfolder.
After starting, the software automatically searches for connected
openWARP.² devices If none is found, it automatically creates two
simulated virtual devices, so the software can be sent.
Found devices are listed in the table in the left pane.

STARTUP PROCEDURE

Each device has a unique serial number. The devices will be identified by
each of these numbers. For multi-channel applications, the name of the
individual devices can be changed by registering a new name in the
name field, and actuating the “Set” button.
The openWARP ²-channel measures the exact timing of the video input
signal. This is always the starting signal. The exact timing can be found in
the Menu tab “Resolution “.

►Using the mouse, the individual grid points are used and moved.
Alternatively, selected grid points with the arrow keys on the

►Holding down the “Ctrl”key and move a grid point with the mouse
instead of a grid point can an entire grid area to be moved..
►With the “P”, “O, “ “I” and “L” you can toggle between the target grid to
