System Requirements

 CP2000-X projector. Includes all standard 3D components

EFIB (Enhanced Formatter Interface Board):

TPC software v2.3c or higher

Main projector software v8.0 or higher
 Two HD-SDI cinema signals (left and right) connected to the projector's SMPTE
ports and .
A B
NOTE: Use of a single input consisting of both left and right data is not currently
supported.
 Sync Output Device:

IR emitter for controlling the L/R gating (switching) of active glasses
OR

Pi-Cell polarizer for controlling a screen that has a silver polarization-
preserving surface for use with passive glasses
 Custom 3D Sync Output Cable (GPIO) such as available from RealD:

for routing the projector's output sync to your Sync Output Device—connect
from the projector's GPIO (note: accessed from underside of the projector as
shown in Figure 2.2) to the emitter or polarizer.
NOTE: See Appendix C for GPIO pinouts and other 3D sync cable details.
 Power supply for your Sync Output Device, typically wired with the custom
GPIO cable.
 Proper 3D configuration defined in the TPC's Custom 3D Control menu. For best
results, use the 3D internal test pattern shown in Figure 3.41.
Figure 3.37 shows the general hardware configuration currently supported. Use either

an IR emitter to control gating in active glasses, or a polarizing cell and Z-screen
with passive glasses.
NOTES: 1) All configurations require a custom 3D Sync Cable, such as supplied by
RealD, for the GPIO port. 2) A pull-up power supply (not shown) is also required for
the IR emitter or polarizing cell. 3) See page C-2 for cabling details.
