Fine tuning is performed using the joystick while the transmitter is in fine tuning mode;...

  • Page 24: Basics Of Fine Tuning

    5.1 BASiCS OF FiNE tUNiNG The basis of 3D depth perception is seeing slightly different images in each eye. Both movie theaters and home entertainment systems work together with 3D eyewear to enable you to look at a flat screen, see different images in the left and right eyes, and experience the illusion of depth.
  • Page 25 5.1.2 Delay Ghosting and Fuzziness When MAX 3D Eyewear is attached to certain 3D TV systems, some ghosting or fuzziness may appear. This is unlikely to occur when the IR receiver is used. Ghosting and fuzziness appears when there is a delay between the 3D emitter port and the alternating light emitting from the display.
  • Page 26 5.1.3 Duty Cycle Ghosting Duty Cycle is the adjustment of how long the lenses are open when an image is being displayed. The default when using the 3D Emitter Port cable is 100 percent, meaning that the lenses are open for the entire possible time.
