Barco Folsom Research VMS-100 Screen Shaper Video Mapping System. Pulled from working production facility

This device processes an input image to correct geometry errors.  It accepts high resolution video in digital DVI format, automatically locking to the input video and processing it in real time.  The operator can process the entire input image or select an input area of interest to be scaled and processed.  It can also perform scan conversion in addition to specified re-mapping functions, with output format-selectable to match the output device's native resolution, ensuring optimal image fidelity.  

In warp mode, Screen Shaper can be used to correct geometry errors introduced by an optical system.  Typical applications include correction for distortion when an image is projected off-axis or onto surfaces that are not flat.  Warp mode can also be used for non-curved applications to adjust overlap region aberrations caused by lens distortion or imperfect projector placement.

In rotation mode, it can rotate or flip a high-resolution image.  Typical applications include conversion of vertically-scanned images to standard raster format, rotation to support displays in portrait mode (rather than in the typical landscape mode) and mirroring to correct for image flips introduced by optical systems.
