Active Stereoscopic Vision Configuration
7-65
• 3D television set that displays 3D content. For stereoscopic vision, you typically use
active shutter glasses or passive polarized glasses.
• Auto-stereoscopic display (monitor, display containing pair of video projectors, etc.).
Graphic Card Connection to Display Devices
Connect 3D graphic cards to 3D display devices using an interface such as DVI, HDMI, or
DisplayPort.
HDMI 1.4a and DisplayPort display interfaces natively expose the ability to transmit
stereo images using schemes described in their specifications. These interfaces allow
for plug-and-play capability. It is up to the display device to decode the image pairs and
present them according to the presentation technology they implement (active, passive,
auto-stereoscopic).
The DVI interface does not offer native stereoscopic image transfer. To transfer and
identify stereoscopic images correctly, usually you need to synchronize the graphic card
output with the display device, using synchronization signals transmitted through an
additional cable, an IR emitter, or an RF hub.
Examples of Stereoscopic Vision Setups
Here are two possible configurations for using stereoscopic vision with Simulink 3D
Animation:
• AMD FirePro “W” series of cards (for example, W5000) connected with an HDMI 1.4
cable to a 3D television set
• NVIDIA Quadro cards (for example, Quadro K4000), a 3D vision-ready monitor
connected using dual DVI cable, and a 3D Vision Pro kit (an RF hub and active
shutter glasses)
