Setup Wizard (coming soon..)
The Setup Wizard generates a complete, ready-to-use multi-projector scene from a handful of inputs. Instead of placing projectors one by one, the wizard calculates the correct number of projectors, their positions, and the optimal lens choice in seconds.
Opening the wizard
- Click Setup Wizard in the top toolbar, or
- Go to the toolbar menu and choose Setup Wizard.
A modal dialog appears guiding you through the process.
Step 1 — Screen configuration
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Screen type | Flat, Curved, Cylindrical, or Dome |
| Width | Screen width in metres |
| Height | Screen height in metres |
For curved, cylindrical, or dome surfaces, additional parameters (radius, arc angle) appear.
Step 2 — Projector settings
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Projector model | Choose from the library or use the currently selected projector |
| Projector distance | Throw distance from the projectors to the screen (metres) |
| Overlap % | Percentage of horizontal overlap between adjacent projectors (used for edge blending) |
| Allow short-throw | Whether to include short-throw lenses in the automatic lens selection |
| Projector orientation | Front, rear, overhead, or floor |
| Two-page / mirror mode | Mirror the layout for symmetric left/right configurations |
Step 3 — Optional camera
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Create camera | Automatically place an observation camera at the optimal viewing position |
| Camera distance | Distance from the screen to the auto-placed camera |
Step 4 — Review & build
The wizard displays a live summary:
- Projector count calculated from screen width, throw distance, and overlap
- Recommended lens for the configured throw distance
- Estimated total lumens across all projectors
Click Build Scene to generate the layout. All projectors, truss, screen, and (if requested) camera are added to the scene at once.
Tip: The Setup Wizard is non-destructive — it adds objects to the current scene. Run it multiple times to experiment with different layouts before committing to one.
