  • Page 2 Barco’s quality of separation guarantees that the images of the two eyes are separated and displayed in such a way that the final 3D images appear fully focused and not blurred.
  • Page 3 • Proprietary high-quality eyewear • Software for dedicated image distortion and easy adjustment and maintenance Barco has a proven track record of high-quality installations in the most demanding 3D markets worldwide. Automotive designers evaluate the looks and ergonomics of future cars, reducing the costly...
  • Page 4 Passive Passive Barco has developed very high quality passive stereo displays based on the principle of light polarization. The viewer wears a pair of glasses containing two oppositely polarized filters - one for the left eye and one for the right eye. The light from each of two projected images is polarized and can only pass through its corresponding filter.
  • Page 5 ™ In high ambient light conditions or for very large screen applications, this solution is optimal. Barco offers a range of high-quality DLP™ (Digital Light Processing™) projectors with light output from 5,000 to 18,000 ANSI lumens. For stereoscopic use, however, “stereo lumen” - which equals less than half the ANSI lumen value - is the realistic measurement of brightness.
  • Page 6 As this high-end technology demands greater precision and requires a tighter match between the polarizing filters in the light path of the projectors and those in the glasses, the use of Barco high-quality circular eyewear is recommended. Easy to use and comfortable to wear, polarized passive stereo eyewear have no active components and are thus very affordable for large audiences.
  • Page 7 1 CRT Projector Due to the higher refresh rate of the incoming signal, a projector with a ‘fast phosphor’ green CRT is required. Barco’s CRT projectors can be delivered with this option already installed. 3D DISPLAY SYSTEMS Stereo-enabled DLP™ or fast phosphor green...
  • Page 8 SXGA resolution up to 110Hz. Barco’s SyncLock technology ensures synchronization between the Image Generator, the B and the active stereo shutter glasses. For passive stereo, Barco offers a range of DLP™ projectors with light output from 5,000 to 18,000 ANSI lumens. Internally Stereo Optimized...
  • Page 9 -30% LCD panels polarize the light that passes through them in different directions. Through the use of internal polarization Barco is able to maintain about 70% of the original light output. -65% stereo eyewear, each eye receives less than half of the remaining light.
  • Page 10: Viewing Angles

    To minimize the floor space required for rear-projection installations, optical mirror systems are often used to fold the light path. Barco uses only specially selected front-coated mirrors of the highest quality. Advanced 3D engineering software is utilized to calculate the optimal positioning of the mirrors,...
  • Page 11 Barco can deliver single sheets of screen material with widths up to 7.5m (24.6 feet), heights up to 3.5m (11.5 ft), and thicknesses from 0.8mm (0.032 inch) to 75mm (3 inch).
  • Page 12: Reference Points

    To enable the alignment of several projectors onto a multi-channel display, accurate reference points must be marked on the screen structure. To achieve the highest level of accuracy possible, Barco has developed its own procedures and corresponding hardware. The user enters the dimensions and shape of...

In combination with integrated marking hardware, this software is used to configure the position and orientation of each transmitter.
