Enable Frame Lock

1. Lock the output image frame rate to the input image frame rate by
entering a checkmark in the Frame Lock Enable checkbox.
Note: This also enables Frame Delay and other Simulation 3D submenu
options.

Display the Test Pattern

Display the Stereo Test pattern on all projectors and monitors in use. The test
pattern is a CAVELib_EOE application, sourced from VRCO. See Appendix
C for information about installation.
Note: The CAVELib_EOE software must be installed in the Christie-specified
location for the custom scripts to run.
•
To run the test pattern on a Unix workstation, run the batch for the
desired resolution:
/usr/local/VRCO/bin/stereo3d_test/run_1280x960.bat
/usr/local/VRCO/bin/stereo3d_test/run_1400x1050.bat
•
To run the test pattern on a Windows PC, open the Windows folder
c:\CDS\VRCO\bin\stereo3d_test and double click on the run bat file
for the desired resolution.
Note: To run the test pattern at a resolution that has not been provided,
copy and edit a set of script files (config file and bat file).Refer to the
CAVELib_EOE documentation.
The pattern should appear on the monitor and the screen.

Match the Projector to the CRT Monitor

Make sure Frame Lock Enable is checked. With Stereo 3D glasses on, adjust
Frame Delay until the L/R display on the projector matches the display on
the monitor. Close one eye to test.

Optimize the Frame Delay

1. In the projector's Simulation 3D menu, select the Frame Delay
option (note the Frame Lock Enable checkbox must be checked).
Close one eye and adjust the value until the test pattern has the
following characteristics.
The background is clear.
The vertical strips in the foreground are clear.
The shadow of the opposite side vertical strips is minimized or
removed.
2. Switch eyes to ensure that both sides of the pattern appear correct.
