• Three strong people to lift display into place Plan Your Installation You should have a detailed plan of how the Planar UltraRes display is to be configured. The plan should include calculations for the following: • Floor/wall load. Make sure the floor/wall is strong enough to support the weight of the Planar UltraRes.
• Each program will have application-specific 3D settings that must be set up. Consult the specific graphics card user manual for more information. • Cards that support Planar’s support timings, as listed in the following section "Compatible Video Sources" on page 87.
Right click on the desktop and select Catalyst Control Center. Select AMD FirePro, then select 3D Application Settings. Check the Enable Quad Buffer Stereo box. Select Auto-Stereo (Horizontal Interleaved) from the selection box Click Apply. Open the 3D application and perform application-specific 3D setup. Planar UltraRes User Manual...
Open the 3D application and perform application-specific 3D setup. Recommended PCs In order to use 4K video, it is crucial that you have a high-powered PC. We also recommend using a single 4K output whenever possible. Doing so eliminates the requirement of multi-output synchronization. Planar UltraRes User Manual...
If ordered, this will be inside a (optional) separate box inside the LCD box. Note: If you do not use Planar’s mounts, you need to ensure the mounts that you purchase can adequately support the display. Mounting Used to line up where the template wall mounts will be installed.
