sv6 compositor frame delay

This feature allows you to control when video frames are sent to the output device. The compositor is instructed to delay the output of the left-most (when viewed from the rear of the system) output card by one frame.

Some digital projectors internally delay the video display by one video frame. If a display is also connected to an hp visualization sv6 system, the display will be one frame ahead of the projector video. In many cases this is not an issue. However, if the compositor is driving an active stereo display (using stereo emitters and active glasses) the projector is displaying one eye, and the display is displaying the other eye at the same time. Using a single set of emitters, it is not possible to get an accurate stereo image on both the projector and the display.

Enabling frame delay tells the compositor to delay the output of the video signal going to the display device, thus causing the display and projector to match.

To enable this feature:

1.Add the ScreenOption SlsdCompositorEnableOutputFrameDelay to

/etc/X11/X0screens.

2.Connect the display to the left-most (when viewed from the rear of the system) compositor output card.

3.Connect the projector to the right-most (when viewed from the rear of the system) compositor output card.

4.Move the stereo emitter connectors from the back of the compositor to any fx10 graphics cards in the sv6 workstations. This shifts the emitter signals by one frame so they’re in synch with the output devices.

5.Update to April 2002 or later sv6_enhancements software.

•Download the latest from http://www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport

•Run the install_sv6_enhancements script to install it to all systems in the configuration.
