Simulation 3D — 

SUBMENU OF ADVANCED IMAGE SETTINGS 

Use the options in the 

Simulation 3D

 

menu to make the timing adjustments 
necessary for realistic simulation and 
3D images. Figure 3.17. 

NOTES:

 

1) 

Available in Mirage 

projectors only. 

2)

 For complete 3D 

application notes, refer to the separate

 

Using 3D in Mirage

 

manual provided 

with the Mirage projector. 

FRAME DELAY MONITOR 

 

This slidebar monitors the latency between input and 

output. For best results, the bar width and value should remain fairly constant, 
indicating that timing of input and output frames is locked; the Frame Delay Monitor 
value should stay within 5-10 lines or so of the Frame Delay setting. If a frame is lost 
or “dropped”, the bar will move suddenly and the values will change, indicating that 
the frame input is no longer equal to the output. 

NOTE:

 See separate Using 3D in Mirage manual provided for more information. 

FRAME DELAY — 

Set the number of lines delayed between the input signal and its 

appearance on screen, keeping in mind that projector processing always 

adds one 

frame of delay

 to the frame delay setting. For applications such as simulation, where 

the feeling of “real time” image response is a priority, a minimum setting is usually 
preferable. For projectors capable of 3D (stereographic) applications where 
alternating left-right frames must be synchronized with the corresponding L/R 
shutters in 3D glasses, a total frame delay setting of two (or multiple of two) may be 
more useful. If set too high or low, frame locking will not be possible—most sources 
require approximately 50 lines of delay to ensure frame locking. 

NOTE:

 See separate Using 3D in Mirage manual provided for more information.  

DARK INTERVAL

 

Adjust Dark Interval to artificially increase the amount of dark 

time between displayed frames for stereographic 3D images. Higher settings provide 
more time for shutters in 3D glasses to open/close, ensuring that each eye sees the 
full display intended for it. Symptoms of cross-talk and/or color artifacts can indicate 
need for adjustment. The Dark Interval range of adjustment depends on the vertical 
frequency of your source—the higher the frequency, the smaller the range. 

NOTE:

 See separate

 

Using 3D in Mirage

 

manual provided for more information. 

3D STEREO SYNC LOCKING — 

This option defines 1) whether or not the incoming 

stereographic 3D signal locks to the vertical sync output so that signals are 
synchronized, and 2) whether or not the 3D frames must be inverted, i.e. swapped 
left-with-right. The correct setting ensures that the projector’s 3D display of left/right 
frames is synchronized with the rest of the 3D system components so that the 
intended eye sees left/right image data. Select the option corresponding to your 3D 
source connections and timing, and use only if the 

Mirage 3D Stereo Sync Cable

 is 

connected between the projector’s GPIO port and a server. Keep this adjustment OFF 
(default) when you are not using the 

Mirage

 

3D Stereo Sync Cable.
