3.8.1 Hardware Requirements for 3D Cinema Setups

To display 3D, the CP2220 requires a 3D capable SMPTE source and a few special hardware / software setups
as described below:
• CP2220 projector
• Two HD-SDI cinema signals (left and right) connected to the projector's SMPTE ports HD-SDI A and HD-
SDI B. NOTE: Use of a single input consisting of both left and right data is not currently supported for dig-
ital cinema sources.
• One of the 3D Hardware Systems:
1. Pi-Cell polarizer for display on a screen that has a silver polarization-preserving surface for use with
passive glasses (RealD).
2. Rotating polarizing wheel (external) with passive circular polarizing glasses (MasterImage). Requires
a silver screen
3. IR emitter for controlling the left eye/right eye gating (switching) of active glasses (Xpand).
4. Filter Wheel for controlling the spectrum of light for use with passive glasses (Dolby).
5. Dual projector 3D - passive glasses (circular or linear). Requires a silver screen.
• One of the following custom 3D mode output signal:
• 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 to the emitter, filter wheel controller or polarizer). NOTE: The GPIO connector can be accessed
from the right side of the projector. Refer to Appendix D: GPIO Port for GPIO information.
• 3D connector accessed from the right side of the projector.
• Power supply for your sync output device, typically wired with the custom GPIO cable.
• Proper 3D configuration defined in the TPC. Use an internal test pattern for best results.
