Verify 3D Cinema Content; Troubleshooting - Christie Solaria CP2220 User Manual

3.8.5 Verify 3D Cinema Content

After the hardware and software setup are complete, verify the synchronization of the server content. Play the
actual 3D content while looking through the 3D cinema glasses to ensure the left and right eye display the
content as intended. Next, reverse your glasses by putting them on while upside down to make your left eye
look through the right lens and your right eye look through the left lens and see if the image improves or
becomes distorted. If the image appears reversed, change the 3D Sync Polarity field from True to False or
vise versa in the Channel Setup: 3D Control window.
3.8.6 3D Troubleshooting
Reversed 3D Effect (Pseudo 3D)
If the actual 3D content appears reversed, turn your glasses upside down (make your left eye look through the
right lens and your right eye look through the left lens) to see if the image improves. If the image is reversed,
change the 3D Sync Polarity field from True to False or vise versa in the Channel Setup: 3D Control
window.
3D Test Pattern
Use the 3D internal test pattern to confirm 3D mode, L/R orientation and your sync output setting. This pattern
automatically activates 3D mode and increases frame rate by a factor of 6:2. NOTE: The test pattern will
flicker significantly due to its low frame rate and is not recommended for synchronizing projector processing
with your 3D device.
Image Breakup
Increasing the Dark Time beyond its maximum may cause image breakup.
Image is "Too Dark"
Check the lamp brightness in the Advanced Setup: Lamp Power / LiteLOC™ Setup window. NOTE: The
lamp power for 3D content will normally require to be twice as high as for 2D content except when using the
RealD XL box.
No 3D Effect
In the Channel Setup: 3D Control window, ensure the Enable 3D check box is selected. Adjust certain
settings in the Channel Setup: 3D Control window since they're likely reversed.
Ghosting / Cross-talk
Ghosting or cross-talk indicates that the eyes are detecting portions of the opposing frame due to an "out-of-
sync" system. Adjust Dark Time or Output Delay so that the projector's display output is synchronized with
the gating (switching) of your glasses.
Motion Artifacts
If the image seems to jump back and forth during horizontal pans or if there is a fluid-type motion artifact, the
L/R Display Sequence is likely backwards. Change the L/R Display Sequence option to Left (L1R1 L2R2).
Disturbing Flashing in One Eye
If you detect a short flash each time a scene changes in 3D content, change the L/R Display Sequence option
to Left (L1R1 L2R2).
