4. Turn on power to the display, Radiance and video source.
5. The Quick Key Menu has settings to set the Radiance input to 2D, 3D Side-by-Side, or 3D Top

Bottom mode, press “MENU Quick Keys (3D Off, 3D SbyS, 3D TopB) Ok”.

6. The direct commands to set the Radiance input to 2D, 3D Side-by-Side, or 3D Top-Bottom is:

2D

MENU 030”

3D Side-by-Side “MENU 031”

3D Top-Bottom “MENU 032”

7. This setting isn’t saved. Use the Quick Key Menu or a direct command to set the 3D input mode on

the Radiance, when using a non-compliant 3D video source.

3D Support for 2D Displays

The Radiance has a setting for “Frame Sequential” output for 3D. This allows some 2D CRT or digital

displays to show 3D video at 720p50/60 or 1080p50/60. If your 2D display can run at higher rates such as

72, 96, 100 (in Europe), or 120 Hertz; these would be better choices.

Note:

The 50/ 60 HZ 3D modes can have a lot of flicker since each eye sees 25/ 30 HZ.

You will need a Radiance a Lumagen “CRT-3D” sync box” (with a DIN-3 connector on the output), PC 3D

infrared emitter (with a DIN-3 connector on the input), and the appropriate 3D glasses.

Normally the 3D glasses polarity and phase is controlled by the 3D display. If you have a CRT projector or

"3D ready" digital display, and you are using the Lumagen "CRT-3D" sync box, the Radiance controls the

3D-glasses polarity and phase.
Some displays don’t have a constant delay from input to output at 60 Hertz. This will affect 3D on these

non-3D displays because the 3D glasses timing changes over time as the display’s internal delay varies. For

these displays the phase on the Radiance might require frequent adjustment.

1. If starting with a unit in an unknown state, press “MENU 0999” to restore factory default settings.
2. Connect the

Radiance outputs. If using only one Radiance output, use Output 1 if the Radiance

needs to pass audio, or Output 2 if not. If using an AVR, or audio PrePro, connect it to

Radiance

Output 1 and the display to Output 2.

3. Connect a video source that supports 3D to a HDMI input on the Radiance.

4. Turn on power to the display, Radiance and video source.
5. Set the appropriate Radiance output to “3D Capable” by pressing “MENU Output 3D

Options Ok (Out1/Out2) Yes Ok”.

6. For example; to set the Radiance 3D output mode to “1080p60” “Frame Sequential”, press “MENU

Output Output Setup (2D/3D) Ok Mode 1080p60 Type FSeq

Ok”. Note: You need to select a 3D output mode before you can select a specific 3D output type.

7. Save the new settings by pressing “MENU Save Save OK OK”.
