Setting Up
Select ‘Setup’ from the Home Menu and then choose the required camera type for the first 3D channel
while the Channel 1 button is selected. If a second 3D channel is
required, select the required camera type for this with channel 4
selected. Note that only the Left channel camera type needs to
be set manually at this stage.
Now use the right hand menu select button to move through the
setup menus until reaching the last one which is shown here.
Use the left two function buttons to choose either ‘1 x 3D Chan’
or ‘2 x 3D Chan’ depending on the number of 3D channels
required.
Then press the left hand menu select button to exit this menu.
There will be a slight delay and a message saying that the 3D modes are being configured before moving
back to the previous Setup Menu. (Or moving directly to the Home Menu if the button is held for more than
a couple of seconds.)
At this point any other settings can be made such as ID allocation etc. The 3D setup automatically
disables the PTZF function as it assumes the data will not be passing through a joystick controller. This
can be enabled if required though.
General Rules for 3D operation
 Changes made to Left channel values will also change the Left + Right values shown in the display
of channels 3 and 6.
 Changes made to the Right channel will only be made on that channel.
 Changes made to the Left + Right channel (3 and 6) will affect both channels which become the
same value. Also, if a change to a value is made to Left + Right, then the menu display for the Left
and Right individual channels will become the same the next time either of those channels is
selected.
 Certain functions are not available from the L+R channel. (Usually for obvious reasons). These
include IR on/off, Abs/Rel, White Clip and Timing adjustments. These must all be adjusted on their
individual channels.
 When adjusting the variable control knobs the adjustment will stop whenever either channel
reaches it’s maximum or minimum value.
 Note that it is important to set the ‘Iris Mode’ correctly when using a small DC motor to drive the
lens iris directly without positional feedback. In’ normal’ mode only the Left channel output is driven
as this assumes there is some mechanical link between the two irises. In ‘Mode 1’ both of the
analogue outputs are driven and maintain any offsets created by individual channel adjustments.
In this case it is assumed that small servo amplifiers drive two DC iris motors with positional
feedback. These output have a range of 0-5v from the Double Interface Box.
 To restore ‘normal’ operation after having had 3D modes in operation, simply go through the setup
menus as before and restore the 3D setting to ‘Non 3D’. After doing this it is important that you
restore individual channels to their default settings by de-selecting and re-selecting the required
camera type in the setup menu.
