3G Level B 3D Monitoring Modes

In addition to this Line by Line mode all FSI monitors with 3Gbps SDI inputs will have the following diagnostic modes for 

monitoring 3D signals without glasses:

3D Checkerboard: 

Checkerboard display of both signals with alternating blocks shown from Link A and Link B of the 

multiplexed 3Gbps SDI signal. The checkerboard size is adjustable using the Checkerboard Size menu option.

3D Disparity: 

This shows an overlay of Link and Link B with differences between the links highlighted.

Stream 1, Stream 2, PAP, Horizontal Split, and Vertical Split:

 As with all Level B 3Gbps SDI signals these 3G Level B 

viewing modes can be useful for analyzing and comparing Left and Right Eye streams.
