Virtual Window User’s Guide 22. InstallationNOTE: Please see the “2015XLS Quick-Start Guide” for an illustrated one-page computerinstallation guide.2.1. Items Included With Your DTI Virtual Window™Your Virtual Window™ is shipped with the following:• One “DTI Virtual Window™ Quick Start Guide”• One User Manual (which you are now reading)• One standard power brick and power cord• One display interface cable (VGA male to VGA male)• One serial (RS-232) cable• A CD-ROM containing PC software for your Virtual Window™If any of these items appear to be missing, please contact DTI. Contact information can be foundin the “2015XLS Quick-Start Guide.”2.2. Connection OverviewNOTE: When attaching cables to your Virtual Window, or detaching existing cables, the displayshould always be turned off first.* Video signal inputs are optional. Some models are not applicable for this feature.The following picture shows the connections on your 2015XLS’s rear panel, along with labels foreach:The following provides a overview of each connection:• The ‘VESA Stereo Sync.’ connector is used for Frame Sequential stereo. The stereo sy77nc.signal, utilized by workstations and high-end PC graphics accelerators, allows your VirtualWindow to recognize which incoming frames are left-eye frames, and which are right-eyeframes.• The ‘S-Video’ connectors are used for video input. For single-channel video (for example,from a VCR), the left-hand connector is used for video input.For dual-channel video, the left-hand connector is used to connect the left-eye camera, whilethe right-hand connector is used to connect the right-eye camera.• The ‘BNC’ connectors are also used for video input; you can use these as an alternative to theS-Video connectors, if you have a composite video source.
Virtual Window User’s Guide 3NOTE: You cannot use the S-Video and BNC video inputs simultaneously.• The ‘Power’ connector is used to connect the power supply to your Virtual Window.• The ‘VGA’ connector is used to connect your computer system to your Virtual Window.Your display requires a VESA-compliant, 60 Hz, 1024x768 signal to operate properly.• The ‘Serial RS-232’ connector is used with the included PC software. The connection allowsthe software to automatically switch your display between 2D and 3D modes. It is not neededfor 3rd party software, or other types of computer systems.2.3. Computer ConnectionsBefore connecting your 2015XLS to your computer system, please configure your system todisplay a resolution of 1024x768, using a 60 Hz refresh rate. If you are not sure how toaccomplish this task, please ask your System Administrator for assistance.To interface your computer system to your 2015XLS, please follow these steps:• Make sure your 2015XLS is powered off.• Connect the display cable to your 2015XLS’s VGA connector, as well as your computersystem.• If you will be using Frame Sequential stereo, connect the stereo sync. cable to your 2015XLS,along with your computer system.• Turn the display on.Note that the 2015XLS defaults to 2D computer input mode. To switch to 3D viewing, press the‘Select 3D’ button on the front panel to enable the desired stereo mode.When using Frame Sequential stereo, your computer system must be configured for 60 Hzdisplay. Other frame rates will not work correctly.2.4. Video Connections ( This feature depends on the model.)Note: Video inputs are optional. Some models might not have this feature.If you purchased the video option with your 2015XLS, you can display one-channel and two-channel stereo video. This section describes how the video support operates.To use one-channel video:• Make sure your 2015XLS is powered off.• For S-Video: Connect the S-Video cable between your video source (a VCR for example),and the left-hand S-Video connector.
Virtual Window User’s Guide 4• For BNC: Connect the BNC cable between your video source and the left-hand BNCconnector.• Power the display on.• Press the ‘Select 3D’ button until you have switched the display to the proper stereo mode.Note that the ‘video’ light should be on, in addition to one of the stereo mode lights. If the‘video’ light is on only, you are in two-channel video mode; continue pressing the ‘Select 3D’button until you have selected the desired mode.• To view the video source in 2D, press the ‘2D’ button.• To switch back to computer input mode, press the ‘Select 3D’ button until one of thecomputer stereo modes are active.• Finally, press the ‘2D’ button to switch back to 2D mode.Two-channel video works in a similar manner to one-channel video. However, please note thatthe two video sources should be synchronized (gen-locked). If they are not, one video sourcemay “roll” horizontally and/or vertically, while the other remains stable.To use two-channel video, please follow these steps:• Make sure your 2015XLS is powered off.• For S-Video: Connect the left-eye video source’s S-Video cable to the left-hand S-Videoconnector; connect the right-eye video source’s S-Video cable to the right-hand S-Videoconnector.• For BNC: Connect the left-eye video source’s BNC cable to the left-hand BNC connector;connect the right-eye video source’s BNC cable to the right-hand BNC connector.• Power the display on.• Press the ‘Select 3D’ button until you have switched the display to two-channel video mode.Note that the ‘video’ light should be on, with all stereo mode lights off. If a stereo mode lightis on in addition to the ‘video’ light, you are in one-channel video mode; continue pressing the‘Select 3D’ button until you have enabled two-channel video mode.• To switch back to computer input mode, press the ‘Select 3D’ button until one of thecomputer stereo modes are active.• Finally, press the ‘2D’ button to switch back to 2D mode.
Virtual Window User’s Guide 53. General Operation3.1. IntroductionOne of the main advantages of the Virtual Window™ is the ability to comfortably viewautostereoscopic 3D images for extended periods.Here are some guidelines to facilitate comfortable and efficient viewing:• The optimal viewing position is centered with respect to the screen, approximately 31" awayfrom the eye.• Tilt the display back approximately six degrees.• When possible, avoid placing the Virtual Window™ where there will be a bright light sourcebehind the viewer. This could result in glare and unwanted reflections.The Virtual Window™ creates a series of autostereo zones in front of the screen. There are threeto four autostereo zones to either side of the T-on position, at about 31” from the display. Thegood viewing zones are interleaved with pseudo stereo zones where the image is reversed. Whenyour eyes are correctly positioned in an autostereo zone, the Virtual Window™ casts a left imageinto the left eye and a right image into the right eye. This results in the perception of astereoscopic image.The zones are illustrated in the following diagram:
Virtual Window User’s Guide 63.2. 3D ControlsThe Virtual Window 3D controls are located on the bottom-right of the display fascia. There arethree buttons, along with a number of indicator lights.• “Select 3D” toggles between the available stereo modes. The lights to the right of this buttondepict which stereo mode is currently active.• “Reverse 3D” will provide stereo reversal of the image, when operating in 3D mode. Whenthis function is active, the indicator light above this button will be lit.• Finally, the “2D” button will toggle between 2D and 3D mode. 2D mode, when enabled, isdenoted by the light above the button.The available stereo modes include:For video input:• Dual-channel video (‘Video’ light on, with no stereo mode lights on)• Single-channel video:• Field Sequential (‘Video’ light on, along with ‘F/S’ light)• Side-by-Side (‘Video’ light on, along with ‘S/S’ light)• Top-and-Bottom (‘Video’ light on, along with ‘T/B’ light)For computer input:• Frame Sequential (‘Fr/S’ light on)• Field Sequential (‘F/S’ light on)• Side-by-Side (‘S/S’ light on)• Top-and-Bottom (‘T/B’ light on)Note that there are two sets of single-channel video modes: full-screen (scaled), and windowed(unscaled). The full-screen mode provides a larger image, while the windowed mode provides asharper image, with no scaling.3.3. Image Adjustment ControlsYour Virtual Window provides a full set of image adjustment controls, accessed via the buttongrouping on the bottom-left area of the display fascia. The controls are augmented by a full on-screen display, to aid you in changing the different settings. Note that the display must bepowered-on and operational in order to use these controls.If you make changes to any of the following settings, they are saved in non-volatile memory inyour Virtual Window. As such, the display “remembers” your settings when powered off andback on again.
