Activate the Stereoscopic Display
Verify that the stereo sync interface cable connects properly to the stereo port on the graphics board (in
the TDZ workstation base unit). Then, to view images in 3D, verify that the stereoscopic display is
activated as follows.
To activate the stereoscopic display:
1. From the Windows NT Start menu, select Settings/Control Panel.
2. Open Display in the Windows NT Control Panel.
3. Select Hardware Settings (tab).
4. Under Monitor Type, select the type for the monitor connected to the system.
5. Under Preferences, select Synchronized Buffer Swap to Vertical Sync.
6. Under Sceeen Options, select the appropriate monitor configuration.
7. Under Stereo, select Interlaced.
8. Select Settings (tab).
9. Under Desktop Area, select the appropriate monitor resolution. The recommended settings are
1280 x 1024 for a 21-inch monitor, 2560 x 1024 for a dual 21-inch monitor, and 1920 x 1080 for a
28-inch monitor.
10. Under Refresh Frequency, select 120 Hz.
11. Select OK.
12. Restart the system.
13. Use the two-handed controller and select “Reset” with any cursor button from the digitizer
command strip at the upper-left corner of tablet. This starts the two-handed controller data
tracking in Windows NT. Do this only the first time you are in Windows NT after installing the
Altek driver.
To view images in 3D:
NOTE You must be running a 3D software application to view images in 3D.
1. Activate the infrared glasses by opening the ear frames. The lenses turn black when they are on
and have a reddish-gold tint when they are off.
2. Put on the infrared glasses to view images in 3D.
When using the stereoscopic subsystem, combat the effects of stress on your eyes by periodically taking
a break. Stand up, stretch, and look away at something distant to change focal depth and to relax your
eyes.
NOTE For information on battery installation in the infrared gl asses, refer to the documentation delivered with
the glasses.
