Motion Control Setup Wizard
The process below should be carried out when installing the XPAND Trinity 3D Superlight Polarizer, if it is mounted on a motorized mount
unit. Such setup is crucial to ensure that the Trinity Polarizer is moved away from the projector automatically by the mount when the projec-
tor is used for 2D viewing. Likewise the mount automatically moves the unit in front of the projector when in 3D mode. Keeping the Trinity
Polarizer in front of the projector when viewing in 2D degrades image quality.
It is strongly recommended that XPAND’s Motorized Mount MK3 is used in combination with XPAND Trinity 3D Superlight Polarizer.
Its use is assumed in below setup steps.
To ensure the mount always moves the unit out of the way of the projector’s light path when in 2D mode, first complete steps 1 through 5
described in section
Installation
and then continue with steps listed below before proceeding to step 7.
Warning: This process is valid only when installing a new unit which has not yet been re-configured and is still set to factory
default settings. If the unit has already been re-configured and is moved to another projector, it should first be set to its factory
default state before proceeding with below steps. Factory default settings can be set by using the PC configuration utility or by
performing a factory reset - see the
Factory Reset
section for more information. Note however, that when performing a full factory
reset as described in section
Factory Reset
, network settings are reset as well and will have to be reconfigured again to make the
Trinity Polarizer accessible on the network.
6a. Disconnect power from both the Trinity Polarizer and the motorized mount unit.
6b. Connect the polarizer’s Motion Control Output to the mount by using a mono or stereo cable supplied with the motorized
mount.
6c. Apply power to both units and wait for both to stop moving.
6d. Turn on the projector and start showing 3D content.
6e. Both the green and yellow LED on the Trinity Polarizer need to be turned ON. If the mount starts moving, wait for it to stop.
6f.
At this point the unit must be located in front of the projector and the light from the projector should be entering the
unit’s input window!
The unit is in 3D mode and a 3D image can be seen if using passive 3D glasses. Note that the image may
not yet be aligned properly. See section
Adjusting the Image Position
for information on how that is done.
If the unit is not located in front of the projector, its 3D position needs to be inverted either on the polarizer unit OR on the
motorized mount unit. Not on both!
a.
To invert the positions on the Trinity Polarizer first connect to it using the PC based configuration utility. For this
the unit must be connected to a local network (LAN). See section
Unit’s Initial Network Settings Configuration
for more information on how to connect to the Trinity Polarizer. Once connected, invert the 2D and 3D positions by
selecting “Inverted” next to the
Motion Control Polarity
parameter. At that point the unit should start moving in
front of the projector.
b.
To invert 3D and 2D positions on the motorized mount consult its user manual.
6g. Stop the 3D content on the projector and start showing 2D content.
6h.
At this point the unit should start moving away from the projector.
The unit is in 2D mode. If required, adjust the
position of the stand, mount and/or unit to ensure that the Trinity Polarizer is completely out of the way of projector light path
when in 2D mode.
6i. Firmly screw and fix everything in place to avoid the whole setup being moved with time.
Unit’s Initial Network Settings Configuration
This section describes how to configure the network settings on a new XPAND Trinity 3D Superlight Polarizer unit so that it is accessible
on a local area network. If more units are to be connected to the same network only one should be connected at a time while performing
network configuration.
It is suggested you consult your IT department and verify if configuring the Trinity Polarizer according to
the below described procedure is compatible with your local network structure and organization.
