R5906151 /02 XDL 99What is Active Stereo?Field sequential 3D (also known as active 3D or “Active Stereo”) is a technique of displaying stereoscopic 3Dimages. It works by only presenting the image intended for the left eye while blocking the right eye's view, thenpresenting the right-eye image while blocking the left eye, and repeating this so rapidly that the interruptionsdo not interfere with the perceived fusion of the two images into a single 3D image.This system setup uses liquid crystal shutter glasses (also known as active shutter glasses). Each eye's glasscontains a liquid crystal layer which has the property of becoming opaque when voltage is applied, beingotherwise transparent. The glasses are controlled by a timing signal that allows the glasses to alternatelyblock one eye, and then the other, in synchronization with the refresh rate of the screen. The timingsynchronization to the video equipment may be achieved via a wired signal or via wireless communication,this by using either an infrared or radio frequency (e.g. Bluetooth, DLP link) transmitter.Projection method usedThis projector can only show active 3D images, used in combination with a 3D emitter and active shutterglasses. While it is allowed to connect passive stereo source signals, the image processing of the projectorwill convert those signals to an active 3D compatible image.The options on the projector software allow you to fine-tune the 3D settings accordingly to the specifications ofthe 3D emitter.If a 3D emitter is used that radiates IR beams, the IR beams may interfere with the IRcommunication between projector and the RCU. If such interference occurs, connect the RCU tothe projector using the remote cable. It is also advised to turn the IR receivers on the projector off toavoid the 3D emitter interference. To turn off the IR receivers, see “Remote control, on/off button”,page 23.8.8.2 Setup process 3D projectionHow to setup 3D projection?1. Connect the proper source cables to the projector. For more info, see “Connection possibilities”, page 99.2. Set up and connect your 3D emitter to the projector. For more info, refer to the user manual of your 3D emitter.3. Power on the projector completely.4. Select the correct stitched source Input in the Source menu. See “Displaying multiple sources: Stitchedlayouts”, page 58.5. Select the desired Display format. For more info, see “Choosing the desired Display Setup”, page 100.6. Depending on the chosen 3D emitter, correct the 3D setup. For more info, see “”, .8.8.3 Connection possibilitiesAt this moment, the only inputs supporting 3D on the Pulse input boards are the DisplayPort inputsand HDMI input. More inputs may support 3D in a future release.Connecting with the quad combo input cardThere is only one way of projecting Active stereoscopic 3D with the Combo input card, using the followingsetup:• Source: Active Stereo (sequential L/R)• Layout mode: Standard layout (1x1 layout)• Video Timing: 2560 x 1600 (WQXGA) @120 Hz• Color depth: 30 bpp• Connector: DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMIConnecting with the quad DP 1.2 Input cardYou can use one of the following methods. The resulting image will always be an Active Stereo image.GUI – Installation
