1. 3D principles 1. 3D PRINCIPLES 3D projection About The projectors based on the Pulse software platform are capable of displaying 3D images and movies in both active and passive stereoscopic 3D. The projectors default method is active stereo output. When using passive stereo output, special equipment and setup is required.
The difference between Active Stereo & Passive Stereo output About The Barco Pulse based projectors have an implemented functionality for Active 3D output, which is the standard mode for the Pulse platform. In addition, the Pulse platform also have the possibility for rendering passive 3D. This requires a special version of the projector which can be ordered on a separate article number.

2. Input Modes 2. INPUT MODES About There are two different 3D input modes; Active and passive. The principles and setup is explained below. Input channel setup About There are two input ports that can be used and configured for 3D rendering: DVI-I and Displayport 1.2. Both ports have two input channels each, and can be used in either passive or active stereo input mode.

3. Projector 3D setup 3. PROJECTOR 3D SETUP 3D setup Setup of a 3D installation requires an advanced understanding of the 3D systems, both for the projector, and also for the signal source. Regarding setup of the signal source, refer to the user manual for the specific unit. In 3D setup, it is crucial that the projected images are perfectly synchronized through the whole signal path, from the signal source to the picture viewed through the 3D goggles.
