Frame Sequential
Consists of individual frames of left eye and right eye images that are transmitted sequentially. Some 2D
CRT and other 2D digital displays can be driven with this 3D type in order to display 3D images. An external
IR Glass Driver is needed to drive the 3D active glasses.
Separate Left and Right
The Radiance can accept HDMI 1.4 “3D” video and output either the left-eye or right-eye image for a dual
projector 3D system that uses passive 3D glasses. This 3D system configuration uses two Radiance video
processors.
3D Output Settings
The Radiance has support for all of the commonly used 3D video sources. If you connect a HDMI 1.4a
compliant 3D video source and compliant 3D display, to the Radiance, you should automatically get a 3D
image, using the Radiance default settings.
The Radiance has settings that you can use to display 3D video, using non-compliant 3D video sources and
displays. The Radiance has settings to optimize the video on your 3D display. The Radiance also has
settings to display 3D video on some 2D displays (See section titled “3D Support for 2D Displays” for further
details).
3D Output Setup Menu
You can select the 3D output settings based on the input number, input memory, and input video mode. For
any of the three input conditions you can select ‘All” to apply the output setup to multiple input conditions.
When making settings that apply to multiple input conditions you can leave any of the output settings
unchanged by selecting the ‘-‘ option for that output setting. Press “4” for ‘All’ and press “5” to see the
current settings. The command is:

3D Output Mode = Auto
By default the output is set to “Auto 2,1.” The selection “Auto 2,1” means the Radiance
automatically reads the EDID for the devices connected to both outputs, giving priority to Output
2, and automatically selects the appropriate output resolution. That is, if an active device is
connected to output 2, the EDID from that device is read to determine the optimal video output
resolution and the Radiance automatically selects the specified resolution. If no device is connected
to output 2, or the device connected to output 2 is turned off, the Radiance uses the EDID from
the device connected to Output 1 and sets the output resolution appropriately. Output 1 can have
priority by selecting “Auto 1,2” from the
Video Output Select Menu
.
For “Auto” modes the output vertical rate is selected based on the input vertical rate. For example,
input formats 480i60, 720p60, 1080i60 automatically select a vertical output rate of 60 Hertz. Input
formats 576i50, 720p50, and 1080i50 automatically select a vertical output rate of 50 Hz. For a
1080p24 input format a 24 Hz output vertical rate is selected if the display supports a 24 Hz output
vertical rate, otherwise a 60 Hz rate is selected.
For analog displays and digital displays, that do not properly support EDID, the output mode must
be selected.
3D Output Mode = Specific Format
The Radiance will convert all 3D input formats to the specified 3D output format. i.e. All 3D input
modes can be converted to a 1080p60 output mode.
3D Output Type = Auto
The Radiance has support for all of the commonly used 3D Types (Frame Packed, Side-by-Side,
Top-Bottom, and Frame Sequential). When the output ‘Type’ is set to ‘Auto’ the Radiance will
convert all 3D modes and types to HDMI 1.4a mandatory 3D types.
