System Overview

The XPAND Passive 3D Polarization Modulator Gen2 allows 3D DLP Ready projectors to project stereoscopic video in combination with 
circular polarized passive 3D glasses. This product uses the latest in LC shutter glass technology to give the best possible 3D experience 
with high brightness and contrast and no fl ickering. 
If you want to use your projector as a regular 2D DLP projector, you can move the XPAND Passive 3D Polarization Modulator out of the way 
of the projector lens allowing for a 2D projection at the projector’s original brightness.
Main features of the XPAND Passive 3D Polarization Modulator Gen2 are:

 

»

High brightness and contrast ratio

 

»

Control via string macros sent by a digital cinema server or projector

 

»

Confi gurable operation using a dedicated PC-based confi guration utility

 

»

Service upgradable fi rmware

 

»

Integrated LC shutter cooling fan

 

»

Easy air fi lter cleaning and replacement

What’s Included

 

»

(1) XPAND Passive 3D Polarization Modulator

 

»

»

(1) Ethernet Crossover Cable

 

»

(1) User Manual

WARNING:

 The supplied Ethernet Crossover Cable should not be used as a regular network cable. It is intended primarily for direct connec-

tion of the modulator to a PC when performing network settings confi guration if needed.

Connector Panel

(1) Motion Control - Typically used for controlling a motorized mount, if the modulator is attached to one. See section 

Motion Control Output 

for more information.
(2) GPIO - Connector for connecting the modulator to the projector. With use of special cables this connector can also be used for connecting 
the projector’s or the digital cinema server’s GPIO ports to the modulator.
(3) SYNC / 3D MODE LED - Amber LED for indicating which mode the modulator is currently operating in.
(4) ETHERNET - RJ45 / Ethernet port used for connecting the modulator to the local network. Two square LEDs are integrated in the con-
nector, showing network activity of the unit.
(5) STATUS LED - Green LED for indicating current status of the modulator.
(6) DC12V 1A - Power in.
