System Care 

Monitors.

  Turn off the monitors before cleaning.  Use a dry, soft cloth, clean 

room wiper, or compressed air when cleaning the LCD panel surface.  A soft 
cloth moistened with water and/or mild detergent can be used to clean the 
display housing and stand.  Do not touch the LCD panel surfaces with sharp 
or hard objects.  Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents for your 
cleaning. 

Mirror.

  Use a dry, soft cloth, clean room wiper, or compressed air when 

cleaning the mirror surface.  A soft cloth moistened with glass cleaner, water, 
and/or mild detergent can also be used to clean the mirror.  Do not touch the 
half-mirror surfaces with sharp or hard objects.  Do not use abrasive cleaners, 
waxes, or solvents for your cleaning. 

Polarized glasses.

  Use a dry soft cloth, clean room wiper, or compressed  

air when cleaning the polarized glasses.  A soft cloth moistened with water 
and/or mild detergent can also be used to clean the glasses.  Do not touch  
the surfaces of the polarized glasses with sharp or hard objects.  Do not use 
abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents for your cleaning. 

Software Compatibility 

OpenGL

®

.

  The SD2020 unit is compatible with OpenGL stereo.  An 

appropriate graphics card is required to drive the two monitors with DVI 
signals.  For professional applications that use OpenGL stereo support, the 
graphics card should support OpenGL stereo as well.  Stereo viewing of 
professional applications is typically done in the so-called clone mode where 
most of the same information is duplicated on the left and right monitor, 
except for the stereo imagery.  In other words, the desktop, windows, and 
menus are identical, but the bottom monitor shows the left-eye image while 
the top monitor exhibits the right-eye image. 

DirectX

®

.

  The SD2020 unit is compatible with the DirectX

®

 application 

programming interface.   

Accessories 

For repetitive transportation of the SD2020 unit, a reusable, ruggedized 
shipping case is available from Planar Systems.  The case features a tough 
plastic shell, locks, customized foam inlay, and removable wheels. 

Additional polarized glasses are available from Planar in three styles:  
Captain, Terminator, and Spring-Clip (for attaching to prescription glasses).
