I/ITSEC -- Scalable Display Technologies, a leading provider of
software for multi-projector display systems, today announced that
partner VDC Display Systems, a division of Video Display
Corporation (NASDAQ: VIDE), has selected its EasyBlend(TM) software
for six visual systems awarded as part of a multi-year contract
involving the U.S. Marine Corps' Supporting Arms Virtual Training
(SAVT) program.
VDC, which specializes in the design and manufacture of
projector systems for the simulation and training community, was
awarded the multi-year contract in May. The systems are to be
installed in trainers that will be used to advance the training
capability, operational readiness, and tactical proficiency of
Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs), Joint Forward Observers
(JFOs), and Forward Air Controllers (FACs). The display systems are
being provided under the prime contract issued to TJ Drafting and
Design, Christmas, Florida by the Marine Corps System Command in
Orlando, Florida.
VDC will use Scalable's EasyBlend FX edge-blending software to
auto-calibrate the six 260-degree horizontal field of view by 60
degree vertical field of view display systems. The system will
incorporate ultra-high resolution projectors and a high-performance
screen, using EasyBlend FX to edge blend and correct geometry for
the spherical display. Scalable's advanced technology will support
VDC Display Systems' goal of achieving close to real-world
environments for the trainees. The display systems will be
installed at multiple Marine Corp bases worldwide.
"Scalable's MIT pedigree is evident in their world-class
engineering team," said Dave Rushton, vice president, business
development at VDC Display Systems. "We have been pleased with
their past performance and expect continued success on this
program. Scalable's industry leading technology and flexibility
make EasyBlend FX the industry leader in our experience."
EasyBlend offers the greatest level of technical precision in
the industry, making it the ideal auto-calibration technology for
military simulations. Using a patented camera-generated feedback
system to calculate pixel-perfect instructions, or warp meshes,
EasyBlend automatically calibrates the display and completes the
task of aligning multiple projector display systems within seconds
to achieve the highest quality edge-blended images with rich and
precise color. By using camera feedback of an image array to
correct for image warping, adjust color and blend images, EasyBlend
produces displays that are bright, high resolution, portable, and
self-calibrating. This purely digital approach enables display
systems that cannot be engineered by conventional means, either
mechanically or optically.
"We have enjoyed a strong working relationship with VDC DS on
past projects and look forward toward successful delivery on this
program," said Scalable CEO, Andrew Jamison. "VDC Display Systems
continues to prove itself as a leader in the military simulation
market and we are pleased to be partnered with such a fine
team."
