3D glasses. This product delivers one of the best light efficiency levels in the comparable products class. If you want to use your projector as a regular 2D projector, you can move the XPAND Trinity 3D Superlight Polarizer out of the way of the projector lens allowing for a 2D projection at the projector’s original brightness. -

Page 8: Operation
Overview The main goal of the XPAND Trinity 3D Superlight Polarizer is to modulate the light coming from the projector in a way which enables 3D viewing in combination with circular polarized passive 3D glasses. The modulation must be done in synchronization with the projector and in a way that results in as little light as possible being lost. -
Page 9: Mode Control Sources
Mode Control Sources The XPAND Trinity 3D Superlight Polarizer has three ways of determining whether it should operate in 2D or 3D mode: (A) Detecting a valid 3D synchronization signal coming from the projector -> “Frame Sync mode control source”... -

3D mode command macro string: <mode>3D</> The 2D and 3D macros are not the only ones which are accepted by the XPAND Trinity 3D Superlight Polarizer however they are the two most typically used ones. Table 2 below summarizes all string macros which are recognized. Most are accepted no matter which mode control source is selected whereas some only have effect if Network Mode Control Source is set. -

This is important to obtain a clear image. Failure to follow this instruction may result in an inverted and offset “ghost image” to be shown on the screen. It is strongly recommended that the Trinity Polarizer is mounted onto XPAND’s Motorized Mount MK3 unit in order to automate the movement in front of and away from the projector. -
Page 13: Motion Control Setup Wizard
Motion Control Setup Wizard The process below should be carried out when installing the XPAND Trinity 3D Superlight Polarizer, if it is mounted on a motorized mount unit. Such setup is crucial to ensure that the Trinity Polarizer is moved away from the projector automatically by the mount when the projec- tor is used for 2D viewing. - Page 14 1. First, try connecting the unit directly to the local network to which it will be connected during normal operation. 2. Download the Configuration Utility from XPAND’s website, install it on your PC and run it. 3. Select “Factory default device” from the “Select Device” drop-down list. This list contains all devices known to the utility and should only contain the “Factory default device”...

Additionally the two split images are not aligned to each other nor to the central image. This must be corrected to obtain aligned images as shown in Figure 7. Note that the images may also be misaligned horizontally, which is not shown in the two 2D fi gures (Figure 7 and 8). www.xpand.me www.xpandvision.com... - Page 16 Many 3D calibration images exist and any one of them can be used for calibration of the Trinity Polarizer. However some images are more appropriate than others. It is suggested that XPAND’s dedicated 3D calibration image shown in Figure 12 is used for calibrating the Trinity Polarizer.

Maintenance Input and Output Window Cleaning Both the input and output window of XPAND Trinity 3D Superlight Polarizer should be examined regularly for dirt, dust or stains. Clean windows are important for obtaining a clear and sharp 3D image. The preferred method for cleaning the windows is to use compressed air of low pressure. This removes any dirt and dust. - Page 21 48 Hz HFR cinema), 120 Hz (double flash 60 Hz HFR cinema) GPIO 9 pin DB9 male connector.
