1.0 INSTALLATION

1.0 INSTALLATION

1.1 The optional Passive 3D Kit

The Blackwing (3D-compatible) projector is now available with a Passive 3D modulator for 3D enthusiasts andspectators how are 3D sensitive. Thanks to the use of the passive 3D technology and the lightweight, flicker-freeglasses, the stereoscopic picture is 50% brighter than with the active sets but also smoother and more natural to theeyes. The Passive 3D Kit is installed in front of the projector. Avoid direct sun light and make sure to install it in aplace with a good ventillation.Make sure to have a passive 3D compatible screen installed before proceeding to the Passive 3D Kit install.To make the installation easier, use this guide together with the original Cineversum Passive 3D Test Patternspackage available on www.cineversum.com.

1.2 Download the Passive 3D Kit setup TEST PATTERNs

This manual refers to TEST PATTERNs that can be downloaded directly from the official Passive 3D Kit web page,in the download section. These patterns are in PNG format and they may be used in addition to this document tomake easier and faster the install.If you choose to use these TEST PATTERNs, you will need to display them at 1920x1080 pixels resolution on theprojector. To do so, you probably can load them on a USB key directly inserted into your Blu-Ray player or simply byconnecting a computer to the projector, using a DVI to HDMI cable.

1.3 Passive 3D screen that maintains light polarization

In order to enjoy the best quality 3D images, you need a polarization preserving screen. Such a screen is generallycalled “silver screen” and it is specially designed for 3D projection. Cineversum has developed and optimized aspecial screen fabric for both 2D projection and passive 3D projection: the “Passive 5D screen”. It is a low gain andhigh extinction ratio fabric that you can order together with your Passive 3D Kit.

1.4 Attach the Passive 3D Kit to the projector

a) Use the 2 wheels to attach the Modulator to the U-shape support.

Fix the Modulator to the U-shape support using the 2 wheels.

Visit Cineversum’s web site: http://www.cineversum.com to download the TEST PATTERNs.

If your screen is not manufactured and tested for passive 3D use, you might experience uncomfortable andblurry 3D images with a high level of crosstalk, which will greatly impact on the perception of thestereoscopic effects.

2.0 POSITION AND ALIGNMENT

2.0 POSITION AND ALIGNMENT2.1 STEP 1: Adjust the Passive 3D modulator gross position

Position the projector equipped with the Passive 3D Kit at the desired projection distance. Then adjust the correctzoom, offset and focus to fit the screen. These adjustment are made by using the Zoom, Focus and the vertical /horizontal Shift of the projector.

Adjust the lens Offset and Zoom until the picture fills the screen.

Adjust the picture Focus

Once the picture is correctly centered and fills the screen, please use the TEST PATTERN 1b (full green patternwith 16:9 written on it) to adjust the modulator correctly in front of the projector lens. The correct position for themodulator is reached when the light path uses the maximum surface of the LCD window, without blocking light inthe borders. To do so, place the Passive 3D Kit at the maximum distance possible and moves it toward the projectoruntil the light path is centered and entirely contained into the LCD window.

Tighten the 2 screws A when the distance between the modulator and the projector lens is correct.

Then adjust the vertical position to center the light path into the Passive 3D Kit as described below.

Tighten the 2 wheels B when the light path is at the center of the modulator.

If the projector uses a large zoom (<2.0 throw ratio distance), the modulator will be fixed nearer to theprojector. If the projector uses a small zoom (>2.0 throw ratio distance), the modulator will be located fartherfrom the projector.

2.2 STEP 2: Moiré artifacts and Focus

Depending on the size of the screen, the screen fabric may -or may not- interact with the projector pixels anddevelop some color banding interferences. In order to remove them completely, you may alter slightly the projectorfocus. Use the TEST PATTERN 2b or a bright picture (White, Cyan by example) to set the correct projector Focus..

Alter slightly the picture focus to eliminate the moiré artifacts.

2.3 STEP 3: Vertical and Horizontal Tilt setting (important)

Ideally, the Passive 3D Kit should be perfectly perpendicular to the light path, that means if you use the projectoroffset to center the picture into your screen, you will need to set an initial tilt on the Passive 3D modulator.

Set the initial tilt of the Passive 3D Kit perpendicularly to the light path.

Lens FlareAlso, due to internal reflections from the Passive 3D modulator, you may see a noticeable lens flare on high contrastpictures, typically credits at the end of a movie, or using TEST PATTERNS 3a and 3b.Use TEST PATTERN 3a to check if there is a ghosting text at the top and bottom of the screen.

To completely remove Lens Flare, apply an additional Vertical andHorizontal tilt to the modulator. These additional tilts should not exceed 7°.

Use TEST PATTERN 3b to perfectly identify the lens flare location.

To completely remove the lens flare, tilt the Passive 3D Kit in order to change the lens flare position and to move itout of the screen. Preferably move it outside the screen through one of the four circles number 8, 13, 78 or 83. To doso, you will apply a vertical tilt and horizontal tilt. This step is required to obtain a ghost free and highly contrastedpicture.

It is recommended to always use a small amount of tilt to remove the potential reflections, called lens flares.Do not use more than 7° of tilt. Above this mark, there is too much tilt and a visible vertical ghosting willappear and may distract spectators.

The lens flare may be identified as a very bright, disc-shaped reflection of a portion of the original picture asshown in the above picture. By changing the Passive 3D Kit tilt, the lens flare will move around the pictureand be more noticeable.

2.4 STEP 4: Check the 3D performances

To check the 3D performances of the Passive 3D Kit, you can use TEST PATTERN 4b or directly by viewing a 3Dprogram. To use the TEST PATTERN 4b, please follow the steps below:

• Browse, select and display the TEST PATTERN 4b

• Go into the projector menu and select the Side-by-Side 3D mode

• Put the passive 3D glasses on

When closing the right eye, the R-squares should be barely visible.

2.5 STEP 5: Ghosting Black-over-White levels (optional)

The TEST PATTERNS 5a and 5b will reveal the ghosting overlapping black-over-white level. This setting has aminor performance hit on global 3D performances. Additionally, if the lens flare has been correctly pushed out of thescreen, there should be only a residual clear coloration into the black pattern. You can adjust into the projector menuthe black level and white level to reduce the overlapping coloration.Make sure when doing this setting that the central steps remain in grey shades.

The overlapping black-over-white may be lightly colored butthe central bar must remain in grey shades to obtain the best 3D performances.

Note that the projector needs to warm up at least 20 min. to obtain a cross-talk free image.

Once STEP 5 is completed, you can set in the projector menu the 3D mode back to “Auto”.
