Looping Video Signals; Requirements - Christie Mirage M Series User Manual

Looping video signals

In situations where a Twin HDMI Input card is being used to loop signals out to another projector,
Standby Active Loop-Through ensures that video signals continue to be looped out when the
projector enters standby power mode.
When the projector is in standby mode and Standby Active Loop-Through is selected, limited
channel control is available—inputs can be switched, perform auto setup and some limited input
settings can be modified.
3D
The projector is capable of displaying stereoscopic 3D video sources and 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 our left and right
eyes. 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.
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, and the 3D Settings menu option to control the processing, synchronizing and
displaying of your stereoscopic 3D source material.
Hardware
• Christie 3D version of the projector.
• Christie 3D Stereo Sync Cable (required for 3D models; ensures minimum frame delay).
• 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 (2000, XP), Windows 7, 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 processes
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 with a supported graphics card.
• A video stream from video source that has been prepared to be sequential content. The
projector supports stereo signals prepared on either a compatible dual and single link HDSDI
format. The VGA port does not support 3D.
