4.0 CONNECTING SOURCES
R599791 - FORCE 3D User Manual 25
• using two VGA input boards.
• using two SDI input boards.
Using HDMI 1.4a Input Board
The FORCE 3D is compatible and Plug and Play with most common used 3D sources such as Blu-Ray players, HD
game console (Playstation 3) when connected to the HDMI 1.4a input board. The source format is automatically
detected and displayed to the screen:
The compatible signals are:
• Blu-Ray movies <165 MHz up to 1080p24 - frame packing.
• Games <165 MHz up to 720p60 frame packing.
• Side-by-side horizontal <165MHz up to 720p60 or 1080i50/60
Synchronization Signal for Active and Passive 3D
When a 3D picture is projected to the screen, this unit sends a synchro signal to either the circular polarizer to be
used with passive glasses or to the IR/RF emitter for active shutter glasses.
This synchro signal is sent using the GPIO 9pin-to-3BNC cable as shown in picture below.
3D Synchro Cable: GPIO to 3 BNC (2x inputs, 1x output)
4.4 Analog BNC Input Board
This card accepts several types of sync modes. In 5-wire sync mode all 5 BNC connectors are used. If H and V
connectors are swapped, this card will still operate normally.
An analog graphic source such as a VGA from a PC can be connected. The card can operate in 4-wire sync mode,
which accommodates 4-wire RGBC sources.
The composite sync cable can be connected to either the H/C BNC or the V BNC. The card supports 3-wire RGB or
YPBPr sync modes, sometimes called sync-on-Green (SOG). In this mode the H/C and V connectors are not used.
The sync is connected to the Green/Y BNC connector.
NOTE: This card offers no loop out capability. and there are 2 LEDs on the module faceplate. PWR indicates power
The use of the 3D sync inputs are recommended when using more than one projector, otherwise the
projector should be set to generate internally the 3D sync signals.
