3D Assist Mode

The unit is equipped with a 3D assist mode to provide support for shooting with a rig-type 3D camera system. The 3D assist mode has the following functions.

Image input method: SIMULTANEOUS (simultaneous method)

Two types of image, one for the left eye (L) and one for the right eye (R), are input to the two SDI1 and SDI2 terminals.

•In 3D assist mode, the input is fixed to SDI1/SDI2 and the input line cannot be changed.

•A phase difference of up to ±15 µs between the SDI2 input signal and the SDI1 input signal, the reference, is appropriate.

•When the input signal formats of SDI1 and SDI2 are not identical or only one of the signals is input, the screen display will black out.

Assist Function	Screen Indication	Description
Name	Screen Indication	Description
Name
MIRROR	Side-by-side	Inverts the left and right and top and bottom of SDI1 (L) and SDI2 (R) images to
		enable you to make basic 3D camera adjustments. (Half-mirror type supported)
SHIFT	Overlay	Shifts SDI2 (R) image horizontally and vertically to enable the lens axis of the 3D
		camera to be checked.
COMPARISON	Side-by-side, top	Displays a halftone marker on the inside. A subject captured with only the camera of the
	and bottom	L or R can be checked.
CONVERGENCE	Normal screen	Switches the L/R images automatically or manually to enable the convergence point to
	display	be checked.
COLOR	Overlay	Overlays the L/R images on a checkerboard pattern to enable the brightness or color
		offset to be checked.
ZOOM FOCUS	Side-by-side	Enlarges part of an image to enable the focus offset or zoom offset to be checked.
VERTICAL	Side-by-side	Displays the horizontal line markers to enable the vertical offset to be checked.
OVERLAY	Overlay	Displays the vertical line markers to enable the width of parallax to be checked.

How to switch to 3D assist mode

Select [3D ASSIST] in [2D/3D ASSIST] in the [MAIN MENU] (main menu). The assist functions starts, and a status screen like the one shown in the figure on the rights appears.

<Note>

•When a signal on which the L/R information is superimposed is input to SDI1 such as when there is an AG-3DA1 or AG-3DP1 con- nection, the L/R information is displayed on the right side of the signal format. When L and R are incorrectly input, the LR information is displayed in yellow. When the L/R information is input to SDI2 only, the L/R information is not displayed on the right side of the signal format.

How to switch the assist function

Turn the rotary knob <PICTURE>. Each clockwise turn switches the assist function in the order as shown below. [MIRROR]→[SHIFT]→[COMPARISON]→[CONVERGENCE]→[COLOR]→[ZOOM FOCUS]→[VERTICAL]→[OVERLAY]
