GeoBox M810 series
The M810 is an improvement from the M800 series. The main distinction is that the IR controller and PC Tool now offer 179 geometry alignments and 12068 control point fine-tuning. A brand-new GCT PC tool is used. It increases precision and provides a more user-friendly interface for PC tool use. The user can switch between GCT and IR control operations at any time. Without any additional adjustments, it offers input resolutions of up to 7680*2160/30Hz.
M810 has advanced warp technology built in. To execute edge blending and complex geometric alignment up to 120×68 control points, the user can use an IR controller, USB, WebPage, and Ethernet.
There are two new functions in geometry alignment: “W” type Corner Wall image adjustment and Linearity Grid Line Adjustment for complete line moved up to the 17×9 control point. Individual color correction for each output, separate R, G, and B gamma correction for edge blending region color fine-tuning, and 9 regions black level elevation to other standard features of the M810 include the ability to correct light leakage in the projector. Users can view real-time geometry and color alterations to obtain the best results.

Features
Variable grid patterns for geometry alignment
Users have access to a transparent grid pattern, which they can utilize to apply an external test pattern in order to align geometry.
Selectable grid pattern size for geometry alignment
To suit the requirements of high-end simulation systems for geometry alignment, the pixel size in the grid pattern is adjustable. The grid size can be changed from 8 to 120 pixels in both the horizontal and vertical directions by adding 1 pixel. The H&V grid will be the same size. The [Edge Blend] menu allows the user to choose the grid size.
High-resolution daisy chain connection
The blending of edges on both a flat and a curved screen
Creating a large-scale, high-resolution edge blending system can be accomplished by cascading multiple units of GeoBox together. There is no need for a personal computer or specialized software; all that is required is a signal source, projectors, and HDMI cables.
Image warping and alignment of the geometry
Corner Wall Alignment & Display
The corner wall alignment function works both horizontally and vertically. Corner Wall geometry alignment ranges up to 1200 pixels in four corner positions and at the edge center in H&V directions. The position of the curvature point can be moved by +/-1200 pixels. For example, when adjusting the horizontal line, the control point can be moved down to 1200 pixels and the curve point can be +/-1200 pixels from the center point. With Corner Wall adjustment, it’s easy to map images and set up the system because you can still align the 4 corners and use the Edge Blend function.
Display that immerses the user
An integrated environment consisting of three walls and one ceiling, along with a bright floor
Image Flip & Rotation
Image rotation of 90/180/270 degrees, as well as flip, at a resolution of up to 4k/60Hz. After rotating or flipping an image, the user has the option of adjusting the aspect ratio.
Adjusting the white balance and the colors
The RGB Gain and Offset values each have their own independent range of adjustment for each channel.
The Black level was raised in nine regions.
It can make up for the light leakage in projectors, especially those with a low contrast ratio that are used in dark rooms. The native contrast ratio has to do with how much light gets through the projector and can’t be changed with signal processing. There will be less light leakage if the native contrast ratio is higher. The best choice for an edge blending system is a laser projector with a high contrast ratio. Separate RGB precise black level uplift can be done in up to nine different regions on each output channel at a position that can be chosen. 9 black Level uplift regions can be used to set up a 2×2 edge blending system with black level uplift.
PIP/POP function
Each processing module in the M810 is made with a PIP/POP function. Each processing module can show two contents in PIP (Picture in Picture) or POP (Picture outside Picture) styles. For PIP/POP display, the user can choose two contents from HDMI, DP, or VGA, but they can’t choose two HDMI input signals at the same time. The resolution of a PIP image can range from 320180 to 19201200. The location can be changed in each projector’s whole display area. The POP images can be Side by Side, Top/Bottom, or keep the original aspect ratio and be full screen.
Change the image’s proportions by stretching it.
With the geometry adjustment and Video wall cropping functions, you can change the aspect ratio or adjust the size of an image. Depending on the resolution of the signal source, the range for adjusting is up to 1800 pixels on each edge.
M810 is the best way to simulate. It can connect to inputs from more than one PC and put them all together into a single image. Images that are not needed can be masked out. It also has a flexible display system with edge blending. For a 3x projector edge blending system, the user can set it up as 1+1+1 independent display, 1+2 (two projectors blended), and all-in-one (three projectors blended). The user can also blend edges with the projector in portrait mode without having to rotate the source image to make the image taller. M810 is made to work 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Users can replace a high-end projector with a low-cost one that doesn’t have lens shift, warp, or edge blending functions by using the M810. It is easy to set up, has a low barrier to entry, is cost-effective, reliable, and flexible.
