Frame Remapping

Frame Remapping allows the user to interleave different areas of the incoming video raster or solid colours into the output displayed on the LED panels.

At its most simple Frame Remapping allows the output frame rate to be doubled so that a black frame can be inserted between every frame of actual content – a useful technique for reducing motion blur. Enabling Frame Rate Multiplication will now enable each of the (up to x10) output frames to be configured to display either video content or a solid colour.

For example; to interleave a black frame with each frame of the incoming video, set the Multiplier to 2, and set the relevant output frame to Colour. By default this is black.

Example of the Multiplier set to 2.

Clicking on the colour chip opens a colour picker that allows any 24-bit colour to be chosen, either using the colour picker itself, which can be set to RGB or CMY modes or by entering the desired RGB (or CMY) or HSI values.

Example of how to select alternative colours.

For example; if you wanted to interleave a video input with two different points of view, and a green field for green screen in a virtual production application, you could use a x3 multiplier with the first two frames of the sequence using different parts of the incoming raster, and the third frame of the sequence being a green field. In this example we are using a 3840 x 1080 video input at 60Hz. The first frame is using a 1920 x 1080 section from the incoming raster from x = 0, y = 0. The second frame is using a 1920 x 1080 section from x = 1920, y = 0. With the third frame, we select the colour tab and select the correct shade of green from the colour picker.

The frame in the sequence of three frames is appearing 60 times a second, and having three frames in sequence gives us an output frame rate of 180Hz, which is shown in the Frame Multiplication user interface.

Example of the Multiplier set to 3.
IMPORTANT: Frame Remapping could be used to create flashing or flickering effects, with potential to cause disorientation or discomfort, or to be a risk factor for photosensitive epilepsy.
