active stereo overview

Most output devices are only compatible with active stereo. For active stereo, only one output card per digital compositor (A6061A) is needed. Synchronized emitter and stereo eye wear are connected to the controller card on the digital compositor.

Hardware:

•One digital compositor output card for each channel.

•Monitor or other standard output device.

•Stereo Emitter(s) and eyewear synchronized to block out left or right eye at appropriate times.

See http://www.hp.com/go/workstations for an overview of immersive environment products and hp visualization center sv6 certified output devices.

passive stereo overview

Most output devices use active stereo as described above. With the passive stereo capability, no emitter is needed. It uses a combination of polarized eye wear and special output display devices (such as, specially aligned projectors or passive stereo work bench displays). Two output cards must be used for the compositor to produce the entire left-eye scene and entire right-eye scene. Both scenes are overlapped. The polarized eye wear filters out the correct image for the right and left eye.

Hardware:

•Two digital compositor output cards per channel.

•Output device that supports passive stereo.

•Polarized stereo eye wear.
