[SML] [CudaMailTagged] Masking Projector Black

[Bryan Manternach]

Best way to "mask" is to do it in software on a laptop.  Using a tool like MADMAPPER  or Media Master Pro.  You can create blackout zones in any shape anywhere on the raster.  Then no concerns over black wrap and air flow or lens damage at all.
