MBOX ® REMOTE USER MANUAL 25
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 and Mbox Studio only.
Compatible functionality works the same way with all three versions of Mbox, although the reduced function set in
Mbox Studio and Mbox Mini will restrict options. Configuration requires compatible versions (v3.6.1 or better) of
Mbox, 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 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 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 (for now)
that the "Advanced Projection Settings" checkbox is not checked. Set any other sizing or layout
preferences that you would like and press [
 ,] again to close the Mbox Remote Preferences window.
