screen. In this case, you want to see the entire alignment image, all the way to
its edges, to make sure that the image precisely covers the display area.
Another use for this feature is when playing a video that fits entirely within the
confines of a single display, but which may extend into the edge-blended
zones. While WATCHOUT is capable of handling this correctly (by playing the
video in all intersecting display computers) this may impair performance.
Particularly if you want to play other videos simultaneously on adjacent display
areas.
By placing such a video past the edge blend layer, it won’t be masked by the
edge blend gradient, allowing WATCHOUT to play it on a single display
computer only (assuming it fits entirely within this display).
◆ NOTE: Although the image is unaffected by the edge blend gradient of its
display computer, images shown by overlapping projectors may be superimposed
on it. In this case, you must manually add a black box behind the
video, on a layer included in the edge blend but past the image causing the
problem.
