MBOX ® STUDIO USER MANUAL 139
PROJECTION MAPPING
Projection Mapping is an advanced Mbox feature. If you are unsure about its operation, contact PRG support for
assistance.
Overview
The Mbox Remote application can used to configure output settings for simple keystone, warp, and multihead output.
Beyond those settings, projection surfaces (Topography files) and more complex projection mapping settings can be
created, applied, and adjusted for use with Mbox Designer only.
Compatible functionality works in much the same way with both Mbox Designer and Mbox Studio, although the
reduced function set in Mbox Studio will restrict options. Configuration requires compatible versions (v3.6.1 or better)
of Mbox Studio/Designer, Mbox Daemon, and Mbox Remote.
Important Notes:
+ Some or all of the functionality will affect or even disable the default Keystone and Camera fixture controls.
+ On your controller (console or Mbox Director), the Keystone Mode (a.k.a. Edge Mode) must be set to a value of
000 for any of this functionality to work. Other values will disable the output and projection settings, and revert to
the default Keystone and Camera controls.
Getting Started
To begin with, launch all three applications. Mbox Studio and Mbox Daemon must be running on the same computer
(the Mbox server), but Mbox Remote can be used on a second computer, if desired. In this situation, make sure that
the network settings (Management / CITP port) for the Mbox server and Mbox Daemon are set correctly to
communicate with the second computer.
To configure preferences:
Step 1. Open the Mbox Remote Preferences window by clicking the Edit Servers button on the main window or
pressing [  ,] on the keyboard.
Step 2. The Mbox server should be visible. Double-click on it to add it to the browser window. Make sure that the
"Advanced Projection Mode" checkbox is not checked (it does not apply to Mbox Studio). Set any other
sizing or layout preferences that you would like and press [
 ,] again to close the Mbox Remote
Preferences window.
