Workflow for rendering 3D images
The following describes the workflow for testing using the 882 Quantum Data 3D utility.
This workflow assumes that you have satisfied the pre-requisites described above.
• Select a valid 3D timing (format) through 88x front panel in Basic mode or through the

Creating 3D ready images
Use the following procedures to create the 3D ready images from two stereographic
bitmaps using the Quantum Data 3D Bitmap Conversion Tool.
Note: If you have your own 3D bitmap images or if you are using the bitmap images
provided by Quantum Data, you do not need to use this procedure.
1. Acquire 3D stereographic image pairs (left and right) and place them in a convenient
directory in your PC.
2. Download the Quantum Data 3D Bitmap Conversion Tool available from the Quantum
Data website at: www.quantumdata.com/downloads/. Unzip the file and place it in a
convenient location on your PC. This tool will convert a pair of 3D stereographic image
pairs into a 3D bitmap of a specific 3D format that you can use in your 882.
3. Launch the Bitmap Conversion Tool by double clicking on the application icon. The
application opens as shown below:
