Getting Started

Assemble the unit

1. Remove the large black base plate with attached mounting bracket from
the shipping box and place it on a table or workbench. Unscrew the
large knob from the base plate mount. (See Figure 4.)
2. Remove the bottom LCD panel with attached mounting post from the
shipping case and install the post in the base plate mounting bracket.
Make sure that the post is fully seated against the base plate. Tighten
the large knob to secure the post to the base plate.
3. Remove the top LCD panel from the shipping case and install the curved
slotted post on the support bar between the two posts on the back of the
bottom LCD panel. Make sure the slot is fully seated in the bottom post.
Tighten the plastic handle (about ½ turn clockwise). (See Figure 5.)
4. Carefully remove the glass mirror from the shipping case. With the
StereoMirror™ logo oriented to the lower right, insert the pins located on
either side of the mirror frame into the corresponding slots on the mirror
support arms. The pins should rest in the fully forward position of the
mounting arm slots. The monitor is now ready to attach to the computer.
(See Figure 6.)

Select a graphics card

The SD1710 unit requires an appropriate graphics card to drive the two
monitors with a DVI signal. For professional applications that use OpenGL
stereo support, the graphics card should support OpenGL stereo as well.
Currently, Planar can recommend two graphics card families for professional
applications. The Matrox® Parhelia™ line and the nVidia® Quadro™ FX line
