i. Set up connection
1. Set up the static IP address on control PC
The default IP address of DS2 is 192.168.1.236. The control PC needs to be at the same
range of controller to connect to the DS2
•Open the ‘Ethernet Properties’ windows on the Control PC
•Highlight the TCP/IPv4 in Networking and click the Properties button to
open the TCP/IPv4 Properties window
•Change the ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’ to ‘Use the following IP
address to set up a static IP address
➢IP address: any address between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.253
except the address which has been taken by the DS2
➢Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
➢Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254.
2. Connect the control PC to powered up DS2 with network port. Ensure
the ‘LAN’ port on DS2is connected, not the ‘RS232’ port since both of them use
RJ45 connection.
3. Open the DS2 software and click ‘Player Connection Settings’ or ‘P’
button on toolbar to open the connection dialog box.
In this dialog box, all the
DS2 units connecting to
this control PC will be
shown in the list. Highlight
DS2 to be connected and
then press ‘Connect’
button to connect. A
‘connected’ message will
be shown once the
connection is established.
Note:
if the DS2 software can not be run on the control PC
Reason
VC++ redistribution not installed at current OS
Solution
Please download and install the ‘vcredist_x86.exe’ from Microsoft or contact
SEADA for support
If a ‘Please change your display scale to 100%’ message dialog box coming up, please
change scale back to 100% in control PC’s Display Settings

ii. Edge Blending Setup Procedures
Note: This manual used 1x2 edge blending as an example.
1. Set up your projectors
Make sure the projectors cover the whole screen evenly and proper overlap is formed.
2. Connect DS2 to projectors and other devices
Ensure the ‘LAN’ port on DS2 is connected, not the ‘RS232’ port
3. Find the edge blending overlap positions on screen
a. Calculate the overlap width using the equation is: 𝑊 = L∗P
T
W: Edge blending overlap width
L: Length of the projection screen
T: total pixels of the projection
P: edge blending area total pixels
b. So, the right edge of projector A is L
2+W
2 and the left edge of projector B is
L
2−W
2
c. Example:
i. L is 300cm
ii. Project A and B output resolution is 1920 x 1080,
iii. Edge blending area pixels is 240 pixels
iv. So T = (1920*2-240) =3600 pixels
v. W = (300*240)/3600 = 20cm
Therefore, the edge positions for project B A is 0 at left and 160cm at right. The
edge positions for projector B is 140cm and 300cm at right.

4. Edge Blending Configuration
Step1: Parameter Settings (see detail in chapter 4.2.1)
Users set up the edge blending projection screen configuration here:
•Layout of the edge blending e.g. 1x2, 1x3, 2x2 and so on
•Set up the overlap zone size, default is 240 pixels
Step2: Geometry Correction (see detail in chapter 4.2.2)
Geometry Correction (Image Warping) is the process of digitally manipulating image data such
that the image’s projection precisely matches a specific projection surface or shape. Image
geometry correction compensates for the distortion created by off-axis projector or screen
placement or non-flat screen surface, by applying a pre-compensating inverse distortion to
that image in the digital domain. Therefore, projection can be applied onto any non-flat
surfaces such as curve shape, corner walls and so on.
Step3: Gamma Correction (see detail in chapter 4.2.3)
Because the edge blending overlapping zone will have a brighter than normal image, Gamma
Correction is performed on the edges to allow seamless merging of the images together. The
gamma correction is basically an S-shaped curve that is applied to gradually reduce the
brightness of the image at the edge, so that they can overlap properly.
S-curves below are for left and right projectors in the edge blending zone. S-curves, when
properly overlapping, will add together to result in even brightness in the edge blending zone
same as the rest part of the projection screen

iii. UI
DS2 management software provides a GUI in ribbon style for the users and enables users to
interactively move, resize, position, and crop any input capture windows. The whole GUI
consists of four main parts:
1. Toolbar
Users can manage the DS2 units with the commands on the toolbar
2. Video Input List
It lists all the different shapes of the windows for HDMI capture input. Users can drag and
drop onto projection screen.
3. Projection Display Area
It shows the layout of current windows on projection screen and users can manage the
inputs windows here via mouse
4. DS2 Onboard Layout List
It shows the preset layouts on DS2. Users can load and delete the layouts here on DS2.

iv. Operation
1、Layout
Users can set up the layouts for the open
windows of input video from HDMI
capture on the wall. The layouts will be
saved onto control PC, not onto DS2 itself
and the amount of the layouts can be
saved are unlimited here.
1.1 New Layout
Create a new blank layout
1.2 Open Layout
Open an existing layout from the control PC
1.3 Save Layout
Save the changes to the current layout onto control PC
1.4 Save As
Save the current layout to as different layout onto control PC
1.5 Exit
Exit the software
1.6 Import Layouts onto DS2
Uses can load the layouts from control PC onto DS2 or delete the
layouts from DS2 in this section, therefore the 3rd party controller
can change the layouts using command lines. Right click on ‘DS2
Onboard Layout List’ area to open the dropdown menu.

2、Edit
Users can close single or all the opened windows of HDMI captured videos in
Projection Display Area
2.4 Close
Close the current highlighted on the Projection Display Area
2.5 Close All
Close all video input windows on the Projection Display Area
3、Connection Settings
3.1 Player Connection Settings
All DS2 units connecting to this control PC will be shown in the list. Highlight DS2 to be
connected and then press ‘Connect’ button to connect. A ‘connected’ message will be
shown once the connection is established.

3.2 Player Network Parameter Configuration
Users can change the network settings of the connected DS2 in this section.
3.3 Connection
Once being pressed, control PC will reconnect to the DS2 automatically.
4、Configuration
4.1 Output Resolution Setting
Users can set up the output resolution to match the projectors to be used in the edge
blending.
(1024X768@60Hz 、1280X720@60Hz 、1280X768@60Hz 、1280X800@60Hz 、
1280X1024@60Hz、1920X1080@60Hz、1920X1200@60Hz)
Only DS2-9H supports up to 1920 x 1200, DS2-3H only supports up to 1920 x 1080.
users are also able to customize the output resolution in this section.
