Can I blend two projectors together?
Blending two projectors together to create a single, larger projection was a very popular solution a couple of years ago. Many theaters had restrictive budgets and many high-quality projectors were prohibitively expensive which resulted in using two pieces of equipment to create an image the size that worked best with theatre stages. Broadway Media recommends that you rethink a double-projector system because of the possibility of system failure and video latency, and use a single, short-throw projector or LED wall to achieve an immersive experience for your digital scenery.
If you decide that blending two projectors is the best or only option to make your setup work, there is an external multi-display adapter that allows you to connect multiple external outputs and run StagePlayer across multiple projectors. Broadway Media does not sell or rent this hardware, but it is available for purchase at the following retailer:
