    Question Beyond scan angle

    Hi all,

    Where and how can I alter the scan angle in Pangolin Beyond. Looked online and can't find anything.
    Searched the forum, but way to many hits without an answer.

    Danke schön!

    The maximum scan angle is determined by your scanners not the software.

    The size setting in Beyond (Settings > Projector Settings > Size) then affects how tall / wide the cue or show projects as a percentage of the maximum possible signal that can be sent to the scanners in the X / Y planes.

    Quick note here, beware setting 100% size by default without testing as many scanners cannot handle some projections at their maximum physical angle. The maximum angle the scanners can operate at will depend on the complexity of projection and scan speed. The safe way to approach setting scan angle is set a low projection size to start with eg 30% or lower and then bring the size up slowly to a point (whichever comes first) where either the projection size fulfils your needs or to the point where the scanners start to complain (at which point you back the size down a bit to where they're comfortable).
