Select a graphics card

The SD2020 unit requires a dual-output graphics card to drive the two monitors with a DVI signal. For professional applications that use OpenGL quad-buffered stereo, the graphics card should support OpenGL stereo as well. Typically, the two monitors should be in clone mode for these applications.

There are several compatible graphics card families. The Matrox® Parhelia™ line, the nVidia® Quadro™ FX line, and the 3Dlabs® Wildcat Realizm™ line have all been tested and are compatible. Matrox® offers the Parhelia Precision SDT card which incorporates the image inversion functionality of the mirror-flip PCI card. The nVidia® GeForce® line offers several dual-DVI output graphics cards that work well for PC gaming and DirectX® applications.

Install the mirror-flip PCI card

Proper ESD (electro static discharge) handling precautions should be exercised when installing the mirror-flip PCI card. Consult the computer manual for the installation procedure on graphics cards.

Because the viewer will see a reflection of the top monitor, this image needs to be flipped on the horizontal axis. A mirror- flip PCI card is included with the SD2020 unit. Plug this card into a free PCI slot in your computer. There are no drivers to load with the card.

1.Remove the blank bracket from an available PCI slot.

2.Insert the mirror-flip PCI card into the slot, align the connector pins, and press the board down until it is firmly seated.
