Yes, the X102 glasses work with the 120 Hz 3D DLP projectors such as the Optoma HD66. Concerning DirectTV connectivity, we have not yet recieved an answer from the cable companies regarding support for 120 Hz HDMI 1.3a 3D DLP projectors. Please note that the complication is due to the 3D DLP Projector requiring a 120 Hz page-flipped (frame sequential) 3D input signal and not a checkerboard signal such as the Samsung or Mitsubishi 3D DLP HDTVs. This is the case with most all consumer grade 3D DLP Projectors.
|
|
The XpanD X102 glasses will work with 3D DLP Projectors and 3D DLP HDTVs such as the 65 inch Mitsubishi 3D DLP HDTV. If you would like to use a Desktop LCD Monitor you may either purchase a 120Hz 3D LCD + the Nvidia 3D Vision Kit or you may purchase a POLARIZED 3D LCD such as the Zalman or Hyundai and use any circular polarized glasses, such as the Real-D glasses that you recieve in the theater. For the best universal media and gaming support, we recommend Zalman or Hyundai Polarized 3D LCDs. For the most affordable 3D Gaming experience, we recommend the iZ3D 3D LCD. Please note that the iZ3D is NOT THE SAME type of polarization as the Zalman or Hyundai, which is why the iZ3D costs less. |

Exact Question: I have purchassed a computer with a GTS 250 nividia video card for 3d games I intend to use a 3d link DLP projector to display the 3d content via a HDMI 1.3a feed. I will also be utilizing a PS3 with HDMI. Will the XpanD 102 work with both feeds. For the Computer feed will i need the IR sender for the Nivida/computer source. Note: Certain 3D DLP Link projectors may have limited OEM support with Nvidia and Sony. Please make sure that your 3D DLP Link enabled projector is officially supported by any hardware mentioned in this post as we were not provided your exact model number. Answer: Yes, you will be able to use the 3D DLP Link glasses from XpanD for your solution. The XpanD X102 glasses will plug and play with your PS3 if your PS3 supports your 3D DLP projector. Additionally, you have the option of either using the Nvidia 3D Vision IR Emitter or not for media and games. However, the Nvidia 3D Vision IR emitter will unlock hardware accelleration of 3D media playback and it will unlock Nvidia 3D Vision Geforce game drivers. Lastly, the Nvidia 3D Vision glasses and XpanD X102 glasses can work concurrently on the same 3D DLP projector without interference. Concerning PC Media and Games support using Nvidia 3D Vision and XpanD X102 together:

Exact Question as posted: I have an Acer H5360 projector. It does work with nVidio 3D Vision, in fact it works if the 3D mode is set up as Off, nVidia 3D Vision, or DLP 3D. Have you tested the H5360 with your DLP Link (x102) glasses or received confirmation from others that all is compatible and works? Answer Part 1: The Acer H5360 projector supports the XpanD X102 glasses according to other users and specifications. We have not yet directly tested this model. XpanD X102 glasses can work alongside the Nvidia 3D Vision IR Emitter without interference since the X102 glasses sync directly with the light being released from the 3D DLP Chip between left and right refreshes. For use with XpanD X102 glasses, we recommend selecting DLP 3D in the projector menu, this should not actually interfere with Nvidia 3D Vision, but will enhance DLP Link glasses functionality. Answer Part 2: As far as we know, the H5360 is not checkerboard compatible. The Acer H5360 can recieve a full 720p 120 Hz 3D video signal, making it currently a great home theater 3D projection choice. You will need to provide the Acer H5360 a 720p @ 120 Hz, 1024x768 @ 120 Hz signal for it to operate in 3D mode. We recommend the following 3D video sources:
|
| Yes, we ship to Russia. Shipment can take 5-10 days, depending upon the size of your order, shipment method requested (standard or express) and payment method. |
| Yes, you may use any device that is compatible with your 3D DLP product such as a 3D BluRay Player, PS3, XBOX 360, Wii. You may also use special formatted media in standard BluRay players and 1080p Media Appliances. Please see the TRU3D recommended configurations for the XpanD X102 glasses in our FAQ area. |
| There is a reset hidden button on the right side of the glassess. If push below the letter D in the XpanD logo on the right had side (the side with the battery) you will cause the glasses to reset. |
|
| If you buy a 3D BluRay player make sure that it has a 3D output format that is compatible with your 3D DLP product. Almost all 3D DLP HDTVs require a "checker-board" 3D Format. Almost all 3D DLP Projectors require a 120 Hz Shutter (page-flipped) signal. High end 3D BluRay player models from manufactures such as Samsung, Sony and Panasonic will work with almost every 3D DLP product. For an exact answer concerning your specific setup, please submit a support question or check our FAQ area. |
| No. The Xpand X102 glasses syncronize based on the release of light directly from the 3D DLP product and DO NO require an IR emitter or any any other syncronization signal. EVEN IF YOUR 3D DLP PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION states that an IR emitter is required, this is due to the documentation not being up to date and the statement should be ingnored when considering the XpanD X102 glasses. |

TriDef Media Player supports 2-D, 3Di and side by side DVDs. Your existing 2-D DVDs can be viewed in stereoscopic 3-D by pressing 'D' several times until "DVD Input Type: 2D" is displayed. 3Di DVDs can be viewed by setting the "DVD Input Type" to "3Di (Left)" or "3Di (Right)". TriDef Media Player also supports side by side format DVDs. Press 'D' until "Side By Side (Left-Right)" or "Side By Side (Right-Left)" is shown. 3-D anaglyph DVDs can be viewed by pressing '2' and using your anaglyph glasses as normal. IMAX3D DVDs are presented in either 3Di or anaglyph format. If red and blue fringes are visible around objects, then the DVD is in anaglyph format, otherwise try "3Di (Left)" or "3Di (Right)" |
|
In order to playback a DVD using TriDef Media Player, a DVD decoder is required. DVD decoders are available from third party software providers. The following decoders are supported. Please note: it is possible that you may already have a supported DVD decoder pre-installed on your PC.
If you are installing the MPV or MPA DVD decoder on Windows Vista or Windows 7, please read our FAQ regarding installation. |

If you have a left-right side-by-side or above-below .avi, you should be able to play these in TriDef Media Player by simply naming the file according to the TriDef naming conventions. If, however, you have separate left and right video files, TriDef Media Player cannot play these directly. You will need to combine the media into a single file. To create a single left-right or above-below .avi file from indivdual left and right videos or image sequences, you need to use a tool, such as Avisynth. Avisynth is a scripting language that provides support for several video input modes and has many processing options. One you have installed the AVISynth program, open up a text editor (eg, Start->Run, enter "notepad.exe"), copy and paste the following 3 lines of AVISynth script, then save the file as "test-ab.avs": left = ImageSource("left/%03d.png",0,99,24.0) The first two lines of the script load the individual left and right frames from a sequence of png files, assuming they are arranged in subdirectories named "left" and "right", with 3 digits specifying the frame number, ie: left/000.png and right/000.png The "0,99,24.0" parameters specify that it starts at frame 0, finishes at frame 99 and is to be played back at 24 frames per second (you should change these parameters as appropriate). Then the StackVertical command places the left and right images together in a single frame (with the left above the right). You can then test whether this .avs file works by right-clicking on it and choosing "Play with TriDef Media Player". The file should now play and you should see the desired 3-D effect. If the 3-D effect is reversed (ie, objects that should appear far away instead look close), then the images have been generated or labelled incorrectly. Either re-generate the image sequences from the correct viewpoints, or move the files from the "left" directory to the "right" directory, and vice versa. If you started with left and right video files instead of image sequences, the lines in the .avs script that contained "ImageSource" should be changed to "DirectShowSource" or "AVISource". ie: left = DirectShowSource("left.mpg") When you have a working .avs file that provides the desired 3-D effect, you should now create a new stand-alone, compressed version of this video. The reason for this is that the .avs solution may require too much CPU power to play back the video at full speed. It also requires that the original left and right image/video files (.png, .mpg, etc) remain available, so you can't just copy the .avs file to another computer. To create this stand-alone video, you can use any video compression tool that accepts .avs files. One such tool is VirtualDub. With VirtualDub, you can open the .avs file, choose compression settings and save the video as "test-ab.avi". Detailed guides on how to use VirtualDub to save XviD AVI files are available on many websites. The resultant .avi file can then be played with TriDef Media Player on any computer that has XviD is installed. |

In most DDD applications there are two major 3-D settings that you can use to modify the 3-D effect. These are '3-D Scene Depth' and '3-D Focal Point'. The 3-D Scene Depth setting allows you to modify the extent of the 3-D effect. That is, the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in the scene. The 3-D Focal Point setting allows you to position the entire 3-D scene in front of the screen, or behind the screen, or somewhere in between. In effect, as you modify this setting you are choosing which object appears at the screen level (all objects behind this one will appear to be behind the screen). |

Ignition is a next generation game driver which replaced TriDef Launchpad and includes the following features:
|
| To run a DirectX9 game in 3-D simple drag-and-drop a shortcut to the game, or the executable (.exe) on to the TriDef Ignition interface. Alternatively, you can select File/Add Game (Ctrl-N). Fill in the "add game" properties including a game name, which is used in the TriDef Ignition interface; a game profile (see below) and the location of the executable file, if this has not already been filled in. |
|
Game profiles are used to configure the core 3-D game driver to work optimally with a specific game. If there is no specific profile for your game simply select the "Generic (DDD)" profile. A number of DDD certified profiles come pre-packaged with the TriDef Ignition, these include the string "(DDD)" in the profile name. In addition, there are also a number of Beta game profiles "(BETA)", which have undergone less rigorous testing. When adding a new game, please check to see if a specific profile already exists for this game. Users can modify game profiles through the in-game on-screen-display (see below). Once the user has modified the game profile it will be saved. TriDef Game Profiles are designed to be modified and shared by users. You can find a bulk package of additional pre-set Tridef Game Profiles that have been configured fully by TRU3D on the TRU3D website listing for the Tridef 3D Experience. In future releases of TriDef Ignition, advanced tools will be provided to those users who want to fine tune the 3-D appearance and performance of their favourite games. |
|
To see/edit the list of hot keys available within TriDef Ignition refer to Tools/Options in the Ignition interface. It is now also possible to configure a different set of hot keys for each game. Please refer to the game properties menu in the TriDef Launchpad interface Within the game a number of settings can be modified using the on-screen-displays (OSD). By default the OSD is opened/closed using the Numpad-0 button (ensuring that Num Lock is on). The numpad arrow keys can be used to navigate and change settings within the OSD. |
| Please note that DDD does not recommend installing our products or provide any support in relation to using TriDef software in an Operating System Emulator/Virtual Machine (for example, Boot Camp, Virtual PC, etc). |

In OpenGL, active stereo is explicitly supported through quad buffered stereo as part of the OpenGL API. Quad buffered stereo has the added advantage of enabling stereo-in-a-window while Direct3D APIs do not explicitly support quad buffered stereo. The GeForce driver is specially tuned to deliver active stereo for Direct 3D-based full screen games and 3D movies using the NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Movie player software. |
| Quad Buffer Stereo support has been integrated in many professional applications and has broad support. Nearly every major solid modeling/prototyping, molecular modeling, industrial VR and GIS software application supports 3D stereo. |

| Generally speaking, YES. If you have a 3D DLP HDTV from Samsung or Mitsubishi, or if you have a 3D DLP projector that is not listed on the official list, it is probably supported. One exception is the 3D DLP projector from Projection Design that requires Dual HEAD 3D DVI input. If you have a 3D DLP HDTV that uses checker-board that is not on the official list, then you will select Generic 3D DLP during Nvidia 3D Vision setup. If you ahve a 3D DLP projector that uses 120 Hz that is not on the official list, then you will select Generic 120 Hz during Nvidia 3D Vision setup. |

There are LCD HDTVs that are on the market that claim to display at 120 to 240 Hz refresh rate. These LCD HDTVs do not claim to be 3D Ready. These type of displays enhance 2D High Definition viewing by using framerate conversion or backlight flashing to convert 60 Hz signals to 120 Hz or above. This technology is incompatible and Not 3D Vision Ready. Shutter-based 3D stereocopy relies on two completely different images (one for each eye) being displayed in alternating order, which requires a PURE 120Hz signal input option that is compatible with the NVIDIA 3D Vision kit. For a list of displays officially supported by Nvidia 3D Vision, consult our FAQ database. |
| NO. The NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Movie player can not convert 2D video content into Stereo 3D Video content. TRU3D recommends that you use a software such as the Tridef 3D Media Player in order to convert 2D vidoes or 2D DVDs into 3D. Unfortunately, Tridef 3D Media Player is not currently compatible with Nvidia 3D Vision. TRU3D does not recommend the 2D to 3D conversion by either Cyberlink or Arcsoft players that do support Nvidia 3D Vision. Both Cyberlink and Arcsoft have not provided a 2D to 3D conversion quality that meets TRU3D standards. Therefore, TRU3D does not currently recommend any 2D to 3D conversion software to be used with Nvidia 3D Vision. |
| The NVIDIA 3D Vision only supports PC Operating Systems, PC games, and applications. Please see the system requirements in our FAQ section. |
|
To workaround this monitor issue please reduce the display refresh rate to 60Hz. 1. To select a 60Hz screen refresh rate right click on the desktop and click NVIDIA Control Panel. |
| NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision requires a minimum 100Hz refresh rate and will work with analog CRT's. Please try testing a lower resolution mode that your analog CRT monitor can support at 100Hz to 120Hz. TRU3D recommends that you make sure that you have select a CRT product that provides at least a 110 Hz refresh rate at a minimun resolution of 1024x768. |
| Holding down the power button on the glasses is not a valid test. We do not suggest one do this for a long time. The lens will only go opaque once a signal is received from the emitter by either testing the glasses using the NVIDIA control panel 3D Stereo setup wizard or running a game with 3D Stereo enabled. |

The NVIDIA Stereo Drivers can interfere with TriDef Media Player. Normally TriDef Media Player can switch these drivers off automatically as required, but on extremely rare occasions you have to do this manually. Make sure these drivers are turned off before you start TriDef Media Player:
|
|
If you have an Nvidia card with Nvidia Stereo 3D support, if you enable Nvidia Stereo 3D in the Nvidia Control Panel and check "Hide stereoscopic 3D effects when game starts" then start up a game with Tridef 3D, you will have an increase of upto 10 to 40 frames per second in game. As long as you have Nvidia 3D off (Hide stereoscopic 3D Effects when game starts is checked), but have Stereoscopic 3D enabled in the Nvidia control panel you will see a huge difference in performance. When Nvidia Stereo 3D is turned on the Normal 3D mode for Tridef Ignition 3D game driver has a much better frame rate but the Performance mode for Tridef Ignition 3D game driver has a much worse framerate. When Nvidia Stereo 3D is turned off that is reversed. |

If you see a blurry image in 3D mode on your Mitsubishi 3D DLP HDTV it is most likely due the image not being in the proper 3D format for your 3D DLP HDTV. Please check the following:
The Samsung and Mitsubishi 3D DLP HDTVs accept a CHECKERBOARD 3D Format that is proprietary to these rear projection 3D DLP products. You must provide it a proper source that is NOT SCALED. Although a 1080p mode may be listed for your device, it may actually require a slightly lower resolution for 3D MODE. An example is certain Samsung 3D DLP HDTVs that run at 1768x992 resolution un-scaled for proper checkerboard 3D. |
|
Your Samsung 3D DLP HDTV will work with upcoming 3D Channels offered by cable providers such as DirecTV, AT&T U-Verse, Verizon FIOS, BrightHouse Cable and others. You will need to buy a 3D TV Adapter KIT for Samsung 3D DLP HDTV in order to adapt your signal from your cable box to your Samsung 3D DLP HDTV. Configuration: 3D enabled Cable BOX + 3D TV Adapter KIT for Samsung 3D DLP HDTV + 3D DLP HDTV + XpanD X102 Shutter Glasses |

Yes, the X102 glasses work with the 120 Hz 3D DLP projectors such as the Optoma HD66. Concerning DirectTV connectivity, we have not yet recieved an answer from the cable companies regarding support for 120 Hz HDMI 1.3a 3D DLP projectors. Please note that the complication is due to the 3D DLP Projector requiring a 120 Hz page-flipped (frame sequential) 3D input signal and not a checkerboard signal such as the Samsung or Mitsubishi 3D DLP HDTVs. This is the case with most all consumer grade 3D DLP Projectors.
|
|
We currently recommend a PC or 3D BluRay player for use with the 120 Hz 3D DLP projectors. To watch a Direct TV in 3D you will need a cable box adaptor which our technical staff is working on developing currently. We expect to annouce its release in Fall 2010. |

In short -
In order to enable your Acer Aspire AS5738DG 3D Notebook for 3D DLP Link projectors at 120 Hz, please read below. The best 120 Hz 3D playback software option with your ATI based laptop:
In order to playback 120 Hz 3D for a DLP Link 3D Project, using software page-flipping do the following:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Your playback resolution and performance with Stereoscopic Player and the Acer AS5738DG 3D Laptop may be limited due to only currently supporting software-based page-flip method to output 120Hz video to at DLP Link based projector. We suggest that you go to a local store and test a specific 3D DLP projector with stereoscopic player on your laptop prior to making a final purchase. Details - You will experience limited performance with a 3D DLP projector at 120 Hz with your specific laptop. The Acer Laptop can run a DLP Link 120 Hz projector with the right software installed, but due to limited hardware support for ATI chipsets, you may experience performance issues and stuttering with high quality media when the output is set to 120 Hz page-flip 3D. Concerning other possible laptops, we recommend an Nvidia 3D Vision ready laptop for running a DLP Link projector at 120 Hz with hardware acceleration for lossless HD playback. The XpanD X102 glasses will work alongside the Nvidia 3D Vision IR Emitter without interference since the XpanD X102 glasses sync directly with the 3D DLP Link projector. |
| Often, many customers do not realize that they must turn 3D to 'ON' within the menu of the 3D DLP HDTV or 3D DLP projector for it to work properly with all hardware. Most 3D DLP HDTVs and 3D DLP Projectors have a 3D Mode that must be activated in the menu or your 3D DLP link eyewear may not function properly. |
|
The XpanD X102 glasses will work with 3D DLP Projectors and 3D DLP HDTVs such as the 65 inch Mitsubishi 3D DLP HDTV. If you would like to use a Desktop LCD Monitor you may either purchase a 120Hz 3D LCD + the Nvidia 3D Vision Kit or you may purchase a POLARIZED 3D LCD such as the Zalman or Hyundai and use any circular polarized glasses, such as the Real-D glasses that you recieve in the theater. For the best universal media and gaming support, we recommend Zalman or Hyundai Polarized 3D LCDs. For the most affordable 3D Gaming experience, we recommend the iZ3D 3D LCD. Please note that the iZ3D is NOT THE SAME type of polarization as the Zalman or Hyundai, which is why the iZ3D costs less. |
| Using the inherent speed of DLP technology, select projectors can output video and images at an astonishing rate of 120Hz, allowing you to show full screen, full color, stereoscopic 3D. The 3D effect is generated by splitting this signal into two standard video streams, one for each eye. Using DLP® Link™ technology, the 3D glasses synchronize with the image on screen to filter each stream to the correct eye. Your brain then combines the two streams to make them jump to life. Optoma 3D enabled projectors can only display 3D images when 3D content is delivered to the projector from a PC with software able to generate a 3D image and a graphics card that supports 3D display. Typical applications may include 3D educational software and 3D design and modeling software. Currently, not all 3D DLP projectors can be used with 3D TV broadcast systems or 3D Blu-ray players. If your 3D DLP projector is not currently supported with 3D BluRay, don't fret, it may support these applications in the future with an additional hardware cost. 3D viewing – requires the use of DLP® Link™ active shutter glasses (sold separately) and a computer program that generates a 3D image. |
| Check the exact specification of your 3D DLP projector to see if HDMI 1.4 is supported. As of June 1, 2010 - 3D DLP projectors that do not have HDMI 1.4 cannot be used to display 3D TV broadcasts or 3D Blu-ray discs. These projectors may support these applications with the use of additional hardware at extra cost. There are certain high end 3D BluRay players that may allow for manual selection of the 720p 120Hz 3D Format over HDMI 1.3, but it is not currently available. A PC is recommended for playback with current 3D DLP projectors that do not have HDMI 1.4 |

Exact Question as posted: I have an Acer H5360 projector. It does work with nVidio 3D Vision, in fact it works if the 3D mode is set up as Off, nVidia 3D Vision, or DLP 3D. Have you tested the H5360 with your DLP Link (x102) glasses or received confirmation from others that all is compatible and works? Answer Part 1: The Acer H5360 projector supports the XpanD X102 glasses according to other users and specifications. We have not yet directly tested this model. XpanD X102 glasses can work alongside the Nvidia 3D Vision IR Emitter without interference since the X102 glasses sync directly with the light being released from the 3D DLP Chip between left and right refreshes. For use with XpanD X102 glasses, we recommend selecting DLP 3D in the projector menu, this should not actually interfere with Nvidia 3D Vision, but will enhance DLP Link glasses functionality. Answer Part 2: As far as we know, the H5360 is not checkerboard compatible. The Acer H5360 can recieve a full 720p 120 Hz 3D video signal, making it currently a great home theater 3D projection choice. You will need to provide the Acer H5360 a 720p @ 120 Hz, 1024x768 @ 120 Hz signal for it to operate in 3D mode. We recommend the following 3D video sources:

A power outage can cause your DirecTV reciever to reset. This means that you will have to go through the full setup proceedure for the DirecTV work-around, again, for your Samsung 3D Adapter KIT. In order to prevent this occurance, we recommend the following: Purchase an un-interruptable power supply (generally made for PCs) that can be bought at your local Best Buy, Office Depot, etc. The power supply will keep your direcTV box powered in case of a power failure for a short duration. In case of a power failure, simply turn your DirecTV box off to maximize the time frame that the power supply will maintain power to your DirecTV box. The un-interruptable power supply also serves as a surge protector. When you install your un-interruptable power supply (power backup) you should have both the DirecTV and 3D adapter power plugged into it. Do not plug in other devices to the power backup as it will reduce the amount of time that the power backup can sustain voltage to the direcTV box. Most small un-interruptable power supplies can maintain a direcTV box that is in stand-by or 'power off' mode for a few hours. |

Yes, 3DTV.at Stereoscopic Player does support TV Tuner Cards. However, it will not convert a 2D signal to 3D. Additionally, if you wish to watch 3D programming, make sure that your TV tuner card support reception of a 3D broadcast signal from your local provider. To open a Live TV Tuner Card signal, open stereoscopic player and goto File->Live Video. Stereoscopic Player comes with a 5 minutes playback free-trial. This means that each time you open any 3D contents, file or video signal, Stereoscopic Player will play for 5 minutes before prompting you to register. We recommend downloading Stereoscopic Player and using it in the trial mode to test your TV Tuner card PRIOR to purchase. Certain Hybrid TV Tuners with non-windows certified drivers (beta or modified drivers) may act un-stable with stereoscopic player. The issue is not with stereoscopic player, it is design to work properly certified windows drivers and hardware. |
| Going 3D is really difficult and takes the right mixture of components, software and windows tuning. It takes extensive time to make a PC 3D-Ready and should not be undertaken by any but the most expert of computer users. TRU3D offers a wide variety of 3D-Ready PC's each with the TRU3D 3D tuning pack already included. Click Here to see a list of 3D Ready Computers. |

In addition to games, photos, movies, applications, engineering software, animation software and web applications can all be generated in 3D by a PC and displayed on a 3D TV. Additionally 2D Videos, 2D DVDs and 2D photos can be converted in real-time into 3D and viewed on a 3D TV if you have a 3D TV model and setup that is compatible with Tridef 3D Media Player. |

Newer graphics cards have a HDMI port instead of a DVI port. In this case, simply use a HDMI cable to connect the PC directly to the TV. Make sure to consult your TV's manual to check if a specific HDMI input must be used for 'PC' mode. For older graphics cards, the DVI output from the PC's graphics card must be connected to the TV's 3-D compatible HDMI port using a DVI-to-HDMI cable (or a HDMI cable plus a DVI to HDMI adaptor). Be careful to make sure that you use the correct input. Some older Samsung and Mitsubishi 3D DLP HDTV products may require you to use HDMI input 3 or the HDMI input also labelled as PC input on the back of the 3D DLP HDTV. Some 3D ready projectors may only support 3D on the analog VGA port, for these products you will need a DVI to VGA adaptor for your graphics card. Once properly connect make sure that you have activated a 3D output format within the chosen software on your PC to output in a 3D format that is acceptable by your 3D HDTV. For example, some products may require 3D DLP Checkerboard, 3D 120 Hz frame-sequential, 3D side-by-side at 60Hz or others.

| Concerning new, HDMI 1.4 based 3D TVs - Currently Nvidia has promised support for these models with the Nvidia 3D Vision kit via the Nvidia 3DTV Play software package that is being demonstrated but is not expected for release until mid to late 2010. The nvidia solution will requrie the Nvidia 3D Vision Kit that includes the Nvidia 3D Vision IR emitter. It does not appear that the Nvidia 3D Vision glasses will directly recieve the OEM IR signal from the emitter built into the Samsung and other 3D HDTVs. Additionally, XpanD is offering universal IR based glasses that will support the OEM IR emitter built into multiple manufacturer 3D TVs. The Xpand X103 glasses are a universal solution for these new 3D TVs. We expect that the XpanD X103 glasses will be available in August and we are accepting pre-orders. Concerning your the Samsung LED, we offer both the battery operated and rechargable version of the Samsung 3D Glasses. |

| Drivers provided by NVIDIA on the NVIDIA.com downloads page have been fully tested by NVIDIA for operating on Windows XP. However, on occasion, we may release a driver which has not been digitally signed by Microsoft, which will result in a Microsoft Windows warning message being posted during installation of the NVIDIA driver. This warning message can be safely ignored. |

If you are experiencing eyestrain or headaches, it could be due to excessive depth amount or improper convergence setting. Unfortunately, most full feature films such as 3D BluRay discs do not allow for depth adjustment. However, PC based media playback and 3D Video games most always have an adjustment for the amount of depth (separation) and convergence (focal point of the in-to and out-of screen balance of the scene). We recommend to first attempt to adjust the depth:
We recommend to adjust the convergence if depth adjustment does not help:
Lastly, always consider that virtual stereoscopic viewing places additional fatigue on the muscles that control eye movements. This fatigue will go away with time and is a matter of physical conditioning of your eye muscles. People with faster visual tracking may be able to experience greated depth settings with more comfort than people with slower visual tracking. A good example would be to compare the eyes of a two different professionals: the eyes of a NASCAR driver compared to the eyes a receptionist. Generally speaking, the NASCAR driver will have more exercised and more conditioned eye muscles allowing them to track the motion of objects faster than the receptionist. The NASCAR driver will most likely in all cases have a more pleasant experience than the receptionist when looking at virtual stereoscopic images for the first time.
Warning: If eyestrain and headaches persist, discontinue viewing in stereoscopic 3D mode and consult a physician. Certain physical vision conditions or impairments may cause discomfort when viewing stereoscopic images on a 3D viewing device. Certain physical health conditions may cause shutter-type 3D glasses to be more un-comfortable than polarized-type 3D glasses. |
| Unplug monitor, wait 4 secs and plug back in monitor. Do not use Dynamic Contrast setting with 3D mode. |

This problem can occur for two reasons:
|
| The emitter driver is included in the 3D stereoscopic software. Please make sure you install the software first before connecting the USB emitter. |

| A 3Di or '3D interlaced' DVD is a special type of DVD that contains two views of a movie, as seen from different angles (that is, a person's left and right eye). As there is no recognised standard for the format of these DVDs, in some cases the 'Left' view appears first, and in others the 'Right' appears first. Therefore, TriDef Media Player has both "3Di (Left)" and "3Di (Right)" options. Press the "D" key to toggle between the available DVD Input Types. |

Please ensure your system meets the requirements for playback of the media file. Your system may not be capable of playing the selected 3-D Media in its current configuration. Try decreasing the video card's color depth to 16-bit. If you have always had these performance problems, then you may need to upgrade the video card and/or other system components. If your CPU contains multiple cores (eg, Pentium D, AMD Athlon X2), then you may need to update your CPU drivers. Please see the manufaturer's website www.intel.com or www.amd.com. See the Microsoft Knowledge Base article for further information. Alternatively, the machine may not have enough capacity to run 3D media playback software and other applications concurrently. Make sure that no other applications are running , if performance is an issue. Make sure that DMA Mode (Direct Memory Access) is enabled for the Hard Drive. See the Microsoft Windows documentation for information on enabling DMA. The performance of many programs is likely to be poor if you are running a laptop on batteries. It is recommended that movies are played while on mains power. Playing media directly from a CD-ROM or over the network can also affect playback performance and should be avoided if possible. |

Ensure that the TV source is set to "HDMI 3/DVI" (or "HDMI 1/DVI" for 720p models). DLP HDTVsPress the 3D button on the TV remote control. The following text should appear on the TV: 3D Game : ON-STD GLS If no text is displayed, then hold down the button for a second or so. If different text appears, then press the button again until the correct text is displayed. If pressing the 3D button still has no effect, then it is likely that the PC is connected to the incorrect HDMI port. |

An IR emitter is sold with wireless 3-D shutter glasses and essentially provides a method of transmitting the 3-D sync signal to the glasses by sending out an infra-red signal. The IR emitter should be connected to the VESA compliant 3D Sync Out port on the side of the TV. In special circumstances, an IR emitter may not be required for 3D DLP products even if it is stated as required in your 3D DLP product manual. A specific example is that an IR emitter is NOT REQUIRED to use DLP Link 3D shutterglasses such as the Xpand X102 with any 3D DLP HDTV or Projector product. |
| Compatible 3-D shutter glasses can be purchased from our TRU3D on-line store. We currently offer many varieties of shutter glasses. |
|
Due to the speed with which the glasses shutter (60 times/sec per eye) it is not possible to see the shuttering process with the naked eye. However, the glasses will appear darker when they are actively shuttering. A simple way to determine if the glasses are working is to remove the 3-D sync signal. For wired glasses this simply involves removing the connector from the "3D Sync Out" port. For wireless glasses a simple method is to obscure the IR receiver in the center of the glasses. Once the 3-D sync signal is removed the glasses should transmit more light than when when the 3-D sync signal is present. |

Last update May 2010. Currently - No. The new 3D BluRay players that have been released thus far DO NOT support 3D DVD formats such as field interlaced and WILL NOT play 3D DVD. |
| Yes it does, the Hyundai 46 inch S465D converts on the fly any 2D media into 3D using a on-board 2D to 3D conversion chip. |
| In order to watch a regular DVD you need a 2D to 3D converter. The only way you can currently do this is with a 3D-Ready PC which has the needed `horse power` to convert a 2D signal into 3D. |
| TRU3D PC's are designed, built and tuned for the best 3D experience. Our technical team has been developing 3D PCs for 5 years. Each TRU3D PC has thousand of hours of custom 3D tuning and programs included giving you a total emersive 3D experience out of the box. |
| The battery is set in the correct position when the line with the C above it is in-line with the small trangle on the glasses |

The glasses are working fine, what your watching isn't formatted correctly. Go to the settings of your TV find the 3D options and change the 3D order from L-R to R-L or reverse the 3D signal, termenology will depend on your display manufacturer. Currently there is no standards with media so some stuff will work out of the box, other media will require you to make this quick fix. Only time will resolve this industry wide problem. |
in the System Tray). Select the manufacturer of your 3-D Display from the Manufacturer list. Then do the same for the Model. If you have multiple displays connected to this machine, you should select the appropriate entry in the 3-D Display Location list box. Click the 'Show' button to test that the correct location has been chosen. Click 'OK' when the Model and Location are correct.
