SOL Server
The first fully automatic display calibration system in the marketplace just got better. SOL Server 2.0 sets a new standard in accuracy and ease of use and includes color correction, geometric alignment, and intensity blending. The system works with any set of projectors and delivers seamless alignment with the touch of a button.
Overview
Mersive’s SOL Server sets the standard in accurate, seamless alignment for complex multi-projector displays. The ground-breaking software corrects color differences, geometric misalignment, and intensity balancing while also providing exceptional image quality by minimizing resampling artifacts.
In addition to fully automatic alignment, SOL Server 2.0 also includes intuitive display management software for increased control over the display system. These display management tools include software-based projection masking and global field of view / orientation control.
The system works with any set of projectors supporting wide field of view displays and complex surface geometries including flat, curved, cylindrical, and spherical. SOL Server 2.0 is being used to deliver a seamless display experience on some of the most complex simulators in use today.
