Configuring your 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card for Stereo Viewing
Your Wildcat Realizm graphics accelerator card is equipped with a VESA standard stereo sync signal
connector (3-pin mini-DIN) and supports 3D stereo viewing. To view stereoscopic images on your
Windows PC, you will need to connect the appropriate equipment such as stereo glasses to the 3-pin
mini-DIN connector on the card.
For optimal stereo viewing, it is recommended that you use a monitor with a screen refresh frequency of
at least 100 Hz and that you turn off all fluorescent lighting before viewing stereo images to prevent
possible headache.
To set up and configure stereo viewing:
1. Connect the stereo hardware to the round stereo connector on the card. See the
documentation that came with your stereo hardware.
2. Click the desktop with your right mouse button to access the Display Control Panel.
3. Select Properties from the menu that appears.
4. Choose the Settings tab.
5. Click the Advanced button and then select the 3Dlabs tab.
6. Click the OpenGL icon on the left navigation bar.
7. In the OpenGL screen, choose the desired stereo output format from the dropdown menu to
the right of Stereo Output, frame sequential stereo, or passive stereo [single display mode
only].
8. Click Apply and then click OK.
9. Select an appropriate refresh rate on the Display Properties Settings Page (e.g. 118 Hz)
NOTE: For information on suitable frequencies please refer to the
documentation for your stereo glasses
