WITH GLASSES, PERSPECTIVE APPEARS "REVERSED"
appear in the foreground rather than background, destroying perspective, the TTL
inverter is likely missing or not working (you can confirm this by turning the glasses
upside-down—3D will return). Or, if you are using the Stereo3D
the checkbox in the Image Settings needs to be toggled.
IMAGE IS BREAKING UP
you can lock to the signal by changing H-Position but have a black left edge in the
image, reduce the source's horizontal back porch blanking. If the black edge is on the
right, increase the source's horizontal back porch blanking.

3D mode (i.e., Minimum Delay), your glasses may be slightly slow for the current
signal setup. 1) If possible, adjust the projector's Dark Interval control. 2) Double-
check timing adjustments to the source. 3) Use faster glasses.
When working with multiple projectors, you may want to use the RS-232 or RS-422
serial ports to chain the projectors together in a network that you control from either a
keypad or a computer/controller (see 2.9, Serial Port Connections). Or you may prefer
that each projector stands alone, but is controlled with a common IR remote keypad.
You can also tile a single incoming image among multiple displays in a videowall,
with each display making up a portion of the total image. In such cases, you can
switch back and forth between broadcasting to all projectors or controlling each
projector individually.
'
Make sure you have assigned a unique projector number to each projector present —
this number will be required in order get the exclusive attention of an individual
projector. To assign a projector number:
Press Menu and select the Configuration menu, then the Communications submenu.
Scroll down to "Projector#" and enter a valid three-digit number (000 to 999) for
identifying the current projector. Press
Repeat for each projector, using a unique three-digit number for each. Once every
projector has its own number, you can begin to control the network.
'
First make certain that only one (any) networked projector has its "Broadcast Keys"
option selected (checked) and IR sensors enabled — the remaining projectors must
have the "Broadcast Keys" option unchecked and their keypads disabled (do this in
the Configuration / Communications menu). The "Broadcast Keys" projector will
then relay keypad commands to the other projectors. If using a wired remote, make
sure to select the "Broadcast Keys" option for the projector to which the wired
remote is connected.
To work with a single projector, press
projector. Enter the three-digit number you have assigned to the projector you wish to
control. All keypad commands will then affect this projector exclusively until you press
again and enter a different number, or until you switch to broadcast mode (below).
