3D
The Mirage J Series projector is capable of displaying stereoscopic 3D video sources. The Mirage J Series
relies on additional hardware; such as stereo emitters and glasses to complete the display system.
Images generated from a stereo 3D-video source consist of a series of images (frames) that alternate quickly
between two slightly different view points, corresponding to your left and right eye. When these frames are
displayed fast enough and viewed with special stereo glasses synchronized to the left/right (L/R) changes, the
resulting image appears with the same depth and perspective that is sensed in the real world.
NOTE: The type of special glasses can be active stereo or passive stereo glasses depending on the type of
stereo controllers and screen used.

Requirements
Stereo 3D applications require a stereo 3D-capable source, special hardware/software setups (described
below), the 3D Settings menu option to control the projector processing, synchronizing and displaying of your
stereoscopic 3D source material.
Hardware:
• Christie 3D version of Mirage J Series projector.
• Christie 3D Stereo Sync Cable (required for 3D Mirage J Series models; ensures minimum frame delay).
This General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) cable is standard with all Mirage J Series projectors. NOTE: See
Appendix B:
• A source, usually a computer with a stereo 3D graphics card capable of displaying progressive scan
(alternating frames) of OpenGL quad buffered stereo 3D applications (suggested cards include ATI or
NVIDIA), and running under Windows, Linux, IRIX, HPUX, OSX or Solaris operating systems.
• Emitter for controlling active shutter glasses.
• An appropriate qualified device that mounts in front of the lens of the projector that will process the light
from the lens into a passive polarized light. Contact your Immersive dealer for more information.
Software or content:
• Any 3D computer software that supports active or sequential 3D stereo on a supported computer/graphic
card.
• A video stream from video source that has been prepared to be sequential content. Supports stereo signals
prepared on either a compatible Dual and Single link HDSDI format.
• Compatible passive dual channel sources, providing each signal type is frame locked and the input
connections are identical.
