User's Guide
Select a graphics card
The SD2320W unit requires a dual-output graphics card to drive the two
monitors with a DVI signal. For professional applications that use OpenGL
quad-buffered stereo, the graphics card should support OpenGL stereo as
well. Typically, the two monitors should be in clone mode for these
applications.
There are several compatible graphics card families. The Matrox® Parhelia™
line, the nVidia® Quadro™ FX line, and the 3Dlabs® Wildcat Realizm™ line have
all been tested and are compatible. Matrox® offers the Parhelia Precision SDT
card which incorporates the image inversion functionality of the mirror-flip
PCI card. The nVidia® GeForce® line offers several dual-DVI output graphics
cards that work well for PC gaming and DirectX® applications.
Install the mirror-flip PCI card
Proper ESD (electro static discharge) handling precautions should
be exercised when installing the mirror-flip PCI card. Consult the
computer manual for the installation procedure on graphics cards.
Because the viewer will see a reflection of
the top monitor, this image needs to be
flipped on the horizontal axis. A mirror-
flip PCI card is included with the SD2320W
unit. Plug this card into a free PCI slot in
your computer. There are no drivers to
load with the card.
