Programming AMX Controllers for a Kaleidescape System
case 3: { call 'MASK'('1.78') } //image is 1.78 (16x9)
case 4: { call 'MASK'('1.85') } //image is 1.85
case 5: { call 'MASK'('2.35') } //image is 2.35
}
}
With this logic (and an appropriately written 'MASK' system call), an automated
screen masking system is truly automated — the masking system changes
dynamically to fit whatever content is played.
CinemaScape Mode
When CinemaScape is active in any mode, Level 33 is used to report the aspect ratio
of the current video. CinemaScape Mask is a zero-padded 3 digit number in
hundredths representing the image ratio of width to height. The sample level event
can also be written to handle values that fall between those currently listed in the
switch case. This will allow the control system to react to values that are not
currently supported, but may be added in the future without the need for additional
programming.
When CinemaScape Native mode is enabled, Level 32 can be used to trigger an
anamorphic lens or the zoom mode of a native 2.35 projector.
