Motion Control Setup Wizard

The process below should be carried out when installing the XPAND Passive 3D Polarization Modulator Gen2, if it is mounted on a motor-
ized mount unit. Such setup is crucial to ensure that the modulator is moved away from the projector automatically by the mount when 
the projector is used for 2D viewing. Likewise the mount automatically moves the modulator in front of the projector when in 3D mode. 
Keeping the modulator in front of the projector when viewing in 2D degrades image quality and may cause heat damage to the lens which 
is not cooled in 2D mode.

It is strongly recommended that XPAND’s Passive 3D Polarization Modulator Motorized Mount is used in combination with the 
modulator. The use of XPAND’s motorized mount is assumed in below setup steps.

To ensure the mount always moves the modulator out of the way of the projector’s light path when in 2D mode, first complete steps 1 
through 5 above 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 

modulator accessible on the network.

6a. 

Disconnect power from both the modulator and the motorized mount unit. 

6b. 

Connect the modulator’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. 

Block the light path from the projector so that the light from its lamp cannot reach the modulator by placing a non-transparent 
light barrier between the projector and the modulator. Alternatively the lamp on the projector can be turned off or if the projector 
allows it, its shutter (aka dowser) can be closed.

6e. 

Turn on the projector and start showing 3D content.

6f. 

Both the green and yellow LED on the modulator need to be turned ON. If the mount starts moving, wait for it to stop. 

6g. 

At this point the modulator must be located in front of the projector and its cooling fan must be operating! 

The modulator 

is in 3D mode and a 3D image can be seen if using passive 3D glasses and unblocking the light from the projector.

If the modulator is not located in front of the projector, its 3D position needs to be inverted either on the modulator OR on 
the motorized mount unit. Not on both!

a. 

To invert the positions on the modulator first connect to it using the PC based configuration utility. For this the 
unit must be connected to a local network (LAN). See section 

Modulator Configuration Using the PC Based 

Configuration Utility

 for more information on how to connect to the modulator. Once connected, invert the 2D and 

3D positions by selecting “Inverted” next to the “Motion Control Polarity” parameter. At that point the modulator 
should start moving in front of the projector.

b. 

To invert 3D and 2D positions on the motorized mount consult its user manual.

6h. 

Stop the 3D content on the projector and start showing 2D content.

6i. 

At this point the modulator should start moving away from the projector.

 The modulator is in 2D mode and its cooling fan 

is turned off. 

To prevent damage to the modulator it is imperative that it is not located in front of the projector when its 

cooling fan is off!

Unit’s Initial Network Settings Configuration

This section describes how to configure the network settings on a new XPAND Passive 3D Polarization Modulator Gen2 unit so that it is 
accessible on a local area network. If more modulators 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 modulator according to the 

below described procedure is compatible with your local network structure and organization.
