3D input video configurations
The stereo 3D input video stream may be supplied from the video server to the projector in two
configurations: Direct-Input 3D or Dual-Input 3D.
Set up a single Mirage 4K to display 3D content
The projector must be installed correctly to display 2D content (lamp installed, optically aligned,
focused, and so on) before completing the following steps to display the 3D content:
1. Confirm the emitter setup.
2. Configure the projector for the 3D source.
Confirm the emitter setup
1. To set the 3D output to emitter, tap
Main
>
3D Settings > 3D Sync Output
and select
To
Emitter
.
2. To enable the 3D test pattern, tap
Main
>
3D Settings
and select
3D Test Pattern
.
3. To configure the dark interval so the amount of dark time aligns with the amount of time
required for the glasses to switch, tap
Main
>
3D Settings
>
Dark Interval
and adjust the
dark interval as required.
4. View the displayed test pattern. If you can see both Ls and Rs with both eyes, increase the dark
interval until Ls are only visible to the left eye and Rs are only visible to the right eye.
5. Optionally, adjust the 3D Sync delay as necessary.
This adjusts the timing of the sync pulse in relation to the dark time transition on the DMDs.
Use the default value of 0 as a starting point.
Configure the projector for the 3D source
1. Select the channel (from the Home tab) best suited for the 3D source.
Configuration
Description
Direct-Input 3D
In this configuration a single video stream is provided by the video server, with the left
eye and right eye frames supplied as alternate frames within the video stream. A 3D
Input Sync may be used to identify the left eye frames.
The Direct-Input 3D video stream may be supplied by either a Four-Port input video
configuration (such as four cables each supplying one quadrant of the image) or an One-
Port input video configuration (such as one cable supplying the entire frame).
Dual-Input 3D
In this configuration two video streams are provided by the video server, with the left
eye supplied by one stream and the right eye supplied by the other. The video streams
are frame locked and supplied concurrently.
The Dual-Input 3D video streams may be supplied by either two Four-Port input video
configurations (such as four cables each supplying one quadrant of the image for each
eye, with a total of eight cables) or two One-Port input video configurations (such as one
cable supplying the entire frame for each eye, with a total of two cables).
