About StarScan™
StarScan™ is the ideal solution for precision automatic image alignment for display systems where Northstar Aurora screen-embedded sensors are impractical. Whether it’s soft-screens, collimated theaters, rear-projection, or display upgrades, StarScan devices can be mounted virtually anywhere in the display system. StarScan™ provides detailed measurements of display system geometry using high precision gimbal pointing and laser rangefinding. It measures both the exact 3D screen geometry and the projected image geometry, resulting in the industry’s most accurate warp and blend – down to 1 arc minute.
StarScan devices automatically align themselves using reference points on the screen, enabling repeatable, high-accuracy performance, even from off-center locations. With precision gimbal pointing, StarScan™ operates up to a 360° azimuth and 135° elevation range, with options for eye-limiting resolution accuracy. StarScan™ requires no special software to be loaded onto the user’s IG, nor does it require the 1.5-2 ms of IG render time required by software and camera-based solutions.
Compatible with both Northstar and non-Northstar (or 3D perception) branded screens and displays, StarScan is a versatile choice for system upgrades and various display setups.
