By Gary Reber

Flexible Picture Systems (FPS) announced today that it has appointed SpectraCal Sales Inc. as a distributor for its Image AnyPlace-200 high performance video and graphics scaler with Geometry Correction and Edge Blending. 

AnyPlace-200 provides AV professionals an unprecedented ability to correct off-axis projector placement of up to +/- 40 degrees horizontally and/or vertically, including projection onto curved, cylindrical, spherical and irregular surfaces.

SpectraCal Sales is a rapidly growing sales organization that provides everything needed for optimizing video displays:  the award-winning software CalMAN, a wide range of colorimeters and spectrophotometers for accurate color measurement, the best available test pattern sources, and a comprehensive education program.

“SpectraCal is the perfect distributor for Image AnyPlace-200,” said Mr. Steve Wood, President and CEO of Flexible Picture Systems.  “They have established trusted relationships with integrators and installers who turn to them for solutions.”

“Our clients rely on us to recommend reliable solutions that will deliver the best image for their customers,” said Jeff Murray, President of SpectraCal Sales.  “With Image AnyPlace-200, we’re not just bringing them a best-in-class solution, we’re bringing them a solution they can’t get anywhere else.”

Image AnyPlace-200 combines best-in-class image processing with features that provide AV professionals and home theater enthusiasts with unparalleled flexibility in projector setup and location. Its unique 4 corner Keystone Correction enables precise fitting (accuracy of 0.25 of a pixel) to real-world screens, and its superior Edge Blending capabilities, make Image AnyPlace-200 the product of choice in 3D and projector stacking situations.

Image AnyPlace-200 offers an extensive set of input and output formats, including HD-SDI, as well as multiple control options for installers. 

SpectraCal’s CalMAN Professional makes Image AnyPlace-200’s full power available for video calibration.  Using CalMAN, installers in Home Theater and Pro AV markets, can quickly and effectively perform compensation for luminance and color temperature variation in projectors, enabling invisible image blending from multiple projectors onto any surface shape and size.   

CalMAN’s unique Interactive Charts allow automated adaptive control of Image AnyPlace-200. In CalMAN you can simply adjust the levels of the measurement bars in an RGB graph and CalMAN automatically writes the adjustment into the Image AnyPlace-200. 

CalMAN’s Dynamic Device Control also exposes all the individual controls in the Image AnyPlace-200 on-screen so calibrators can manipulate them directly from the software.
