Page 26: Passive 3D Display
Passive 3D Display System Configuration The Avenview MLT-EDGEPRO-2x2 can decode most 3D formats from all kinds of 3D video sources, including bluray DVD, STB, Media player, Game console and more. The 3D signals needs to be displayed through two projectors, each projector will display the decoded signal for both the right/left eye. - Page 27 System installation and setup 1. MLT-EDGEPRO-2x2 should not be close or at the side of the projector where the hot air ventilation is blowing. 2. Place the two projectors side by side or top/bottom. Placing the projectors in close proximity to each other will reduce gap of the geometry adjustment also the loss of the image resolution and brightness.
