Appendix D: 3D
Your Wolf Cinema REFERENCE Series projector, when configured and built‐to‐order at our Berkeley, CA facility, is
capable of displaying stereoscopic [3D] video images. The projector relies on advanced internal 3D processing
components plus additional external hardware – such as stereo emitters and glasses – that complete the 3D
system.
NOTE: The addition of advanced 3D viewing technology must be performed at time of the original projector's
construction, and cannot be added at a later date. Standard 2D REF projectors are not upgradable to 3D.
Images generated from a stereo 3D‐video source consist of a series of images (frames) that alternate quickly
between two slightly different viewpoints, corresponding to your left and right eye. 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.
NOTE: 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),
the 3D Settings menu option to control the projector processing, synchronizing and displaying of your stereoscopic
3D source material.
Hardware:
• 3D enabled version of Wolf Cinema's REF Series projector [REF‐700‐3D or REF‐1000‐3D].
• 3D Stereo Sync Cable (required for 3D REF Series models; insures minimum frame delay). This General Purpose
Input Output (GPIO) cable is standard with all Wolf Cinema REF Series projectors. NOTE: See Appendix B: GPIO.
• A source, typically a Blu‐ray player, or 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, Linux, IRIX, HPUX, OSX or Solaris operating systems.
• 3D Emitter for controlling active shutter glasses.
• As an option, any qualified device that mounts in front of the lens of the projector that will process the light
from the lens into a passive polarized light. Contact your Wolf Cinema dealer for more information.
Software or content:
• Any 3D software that supports active or sequential 3D stereo on a supported computer/graphic card.
• A 3D video stream from video source that has been prepared to be sequential content. Supports stereo signals
prepared on either a compatible Dual and Single link HD‐SDI format.
