About 3D

3D video files combine two slightly different images (frames) of the same scene representing the different views that the left and right eyes see.

When these frames are displayed fast enough and viewed with 3D glasses synchronized with the left and right frames, the viewer’s brain then assemble the separate images into a single 3D image.

The 3D Menu provides options to set up the 3D functions to correctly display 3D videos.

3D mode

Enable or disable the 3D functionality.

3D aspect ratio

When the input timing is a 3D timing, this function is provided to set the image.

• Auto:

  Keep the original ratio based on input timing.

• Full screen:

  Fill DMD regardless of the original ratio.

3D format

Select a proper 3D format for the 3D input signal.

The available options are:

• Auto
• Frame packing
• Side by side
• Top and bottom
• Frame sequential

3D tech

Select a proper 3D technology according to how the 3D sync signal is processed:

• DLP-Link:

  Select DLP-Link when the 3D sync signal is generated by the DLP Link technology built-in the projector. DLP-Link works only with the glasses that are compatible with DLP 3D technology and the 3D function is enabled.

• 3D sync:

  Select 3D sync when the 3D sync out signal is sent to an emitter or another projector through the 3D sync out port.

3D-2D

Transform the 3D content to 2D images.

• 3D:

  Play the 3D content normally.

• 2D-left:

  Play the left images of the 3D content.

• 2D-right:

  Play the right images of the 3D content.

3D sync in select

Specify the source of the 3D sync input signal:

• Auto:

  If an external 3D sync input is detected, the projector automatically uses the external sync input. If no external 3D sync input is detected, the projector uses the internal 3D sync to display the content.

• Internal:

  The projector generates the 3D sync internally to display the content.

• External:

  The projector uses an external 3D sync input to display the content.

3D sync out

Set up the transmission of the 3D sync output signal:

• To emitter:

  Send the 3D sync signal to the emitter connected to the 3D sync out port.

• To next projector:

  Send the 3D sync signal to the next projector when using multiple projectors.

3D invert

Use this function to invert the 3D left and right frames, when the 3D video does not appear correctly.

Frame delay

Set a frame delay value for the projector to correct the time difference between the 3D signal being given and the result being executed.

This function only works when L/R Reference is set to Field GPIO.

When performing 3D blending on multiple projectors, set the frame delay for each projector to correct the non-synchronous images.

Reset

Reset the 3D settings to their factory default values.
