Connecting One Stereo 3D Sync Output 
Connect the GPIO 3D Stereo Sync Cable output to your stereo 3D sync emitter or 3D passive filter system, 
PZE device. The L/R switching of the device can then be synchronized according to the controlling signal of 
choice—either the source input signal or the projector’s internally generated signal—as set in the projector’s 
3D Settings menu.
3.6.3 Active and Passive Stereo 3D Configurations
Typical hardware configurations for active and passive Stereo 3D systems are shown in Figure 3-24 and 
Figure 3-25. 
 Figure 3-24  Mirage WU-L: Typical Stereo 3D Configuration: With Active Glasses
 Figure 3-25  Mirage WU-L: Typical Stereo 3D Configuration: With Passive Glasses
Appropriate Stereo 3D Source: Use stereo 3D application software with your 3D video source (usually a 
workstation or PC). The source must also provide a separate stereo 3D synchronization signal that precisely 
controls when left/right fields are visible through the viewer’s glasses. This separate signal is usually provided 
using a VESA 3 pin stereo port.

Section 3: Operation
IR Emitter/3D Passive Filter System: In response to an incoming sync signal, the emitter emits L/R infrared 
signals to a receiver in active 3D shutter glasses, causing the L/R shutters to alternately open and close for 
active stereo 3D applications. Likewise, a 3D passive filter system placed in front of the lens responds to an 
incoming sync signal and alternately polarizes the L/R frames viewed with passive glasses for active stereo 3D 
applications. Connecting one of the GPIO 3D Stereo Sync Cable outputs to an emitter/3D passive filter system 
allows you to synchronize your stereo 3D display with the glasses.
Glasses (Active/Passive): Active glasses differ in speed and performance. Consult the documentation for your 
glasses and keep their specifications in mind when configuring your source signal. The input signal must be 
optimized for the available shutter speed to prevent obvious “ghosting” of image content (known as cross-talk 
in stereo 3D applications) and other more subtle color artifacts. Such problems indicate that the eyes are 
detecting portions of the opposing frame due to an “out-of-sync” system, and can occur in either active or 
passive stereo 3D configurations. Adjust the Dark Interval setting to reduce ghosting.
In the 3D Settings menu, the correct “3D Stereo Sync Delay” setting should help to synchronize glasses with 
the displayed images. NOTE: In a passive system, where glasses do not have shutters and instead depend on 
the speed and accuracy of the 3D passive filter system, the signal must be synchronized to the projector via the 
GPIO 3D Stereo Sync Cable. 
 4.2 3D SETTINGS
Use the options in the 3D Settings menu to make the timing adjustments necessary for realistic simulation and 
3D images..
3D State: Informs you what state the projector is in: Off, Missing Secondary Signal, Not Frame Locked, 
Secondary Frequency Mismatch, High Bandwidth Not Supported, Stereo Sync Not Detected, Stereo Sync 
Invalid, and Invalid Frequency. NOTE: This is read only.

Mirage WU-L User Manual3-65020-100774-01 Rev. 2 (4-2012)
3D Mode: Select the mode of your 3D operation.
•Off: 3D operation is disabled.
•Native: All content is shown at a native frame rate of 96 - 120 Hz input and output.
•Frame Doubled 3D: 3D Content from a single 48-60Hz signal (24/30Hz per eye) are displayed twice to 
provide a 3D content to be viewed at 96-120Hz.
•Dual Input 3D: Content from two independent 48-60Hz ‘passive’ frame locked sources are interleaved into 
a native 96-120Hz native frame rate. This requires and optional input module and both signals must be from 
the same signal type.
Dark Interval: Artificially increases the amount of dark time between displayed frames for stereoscopic 3D 
images. Higher settings provide more time for shutters in 3D glasses to open and close, ensuring that each eye 
sees the full display intended for it. Symptoms of cross talk or color artifacts can indicate the need for 
adjustment. The Dark Interval range of adjustment depends on the vertical frequency of your source-the higher 
the frequency, the smaller the range. Default setting is 2.5mS.
3D Sync Input: The 3D sync signal is generated by the 3D source to insure left/right eye content is 
synchronized to the projector and you. The projector has the ability to physically connect to two different 
sources. Ensure that the correct 3D sync input is selected (either Input A or Input B) with each 3D signal 
source. If none/internal is selected the projector will generate the sync internally and content will be displayed; 
however, there is a 50% chance that the content will be displayed with the left/right eyes swapped (from the 
remote, press 
FUNC 6-9 to swap the eyes). NOTE: This function is not used in Interleaved 3D mode. Each eye 
receives a selected input and no 3D sync input is required.
3D Sync Output: This option defines whether the 3D Sync is output and controls how it is processed. It is only 
valid when an optional cable is used to connect stereo 3D signals to the projector via the GPIO port. When 
there is no 3D signal, Sync Output should be Off. Typically only the last projector in the 3D Stereo cable 
chain is connected to the emitter and should specify To Emitter. All other projectors should select To  N e x t  
Input if other projectors are used in the chain.
 
3D Stereo Sync Delay: Adjust the output 3D emitter delay (in milliseconds) to match the active glasses to the 
L/R frames of the projector. Proper adjustment of this delay will eliminate cross talk and odd colors caused by 
timing differences between the glasses and the projected image. Your specified delay is added after sync 
locking. 
3D Test Pattern: Enables a 3D test pattern for diagnostics. The scrolling diagonal lines indicate how well left 
and right are synchronized. If ghosting is occurring the input may have to be switched or inverted. Adjustments 
to the emitter delay can also help correct the synchronization. To verify that your 3D is setup correctly, a small 
set of Ls will be visible when you close your right eye and a small set of Rs will be visible when you close 
your left eye.

Section 3: Operation
Frame Locking: Enable or disable Frame Lock. When set to Frame Lock, if possible 
output image frames are locked to the input. When Locked, the output is always locked 
to the primary input and never the secondary image, when using Dual input 3D. Free Run 
sets the output to close to 60Hz for all sources. This control must be set to locked if a 3D-Stereo signal is used.
Set Frame Delay: Delays the output signal timing relative to the input signal timing by a fraction of a frame, 
and up to several frames. The minimum latency can vary based on the amount of scaling applied to the image. 
When using keystone or warping, an additional latency is required, depending on the amount of warp. The 
control is only available when the input signal is frame locked. In free run mode, or in cases where the signal 
cannot be frame locked, the minimum latency defined by the scaling and keystone/warp is applied to the 
signal.
Actual Frame Delay: Displays the actual frame delay reading.
Full Screen Eye-Motion Filter: Check this control to apply the Eye-Motion Filter to the entire screen, rather 
than applying just to the edge blending regions. Helps with posterization effects, sometimes seen in color 
ramps when viewing stereoscopic images.
Eye-Motion Filter: Adjust this filter to reduce saccadic eye-motion artifacts, sometimes noticeable in edge 
blending regions. Too much filtering may result in loss of detail. For best results, adjust this setting while 
positioned at the nominal screen-viewing distance.
Edit Secondary Channel Settings: When using Dual Input 3D, this allows you the option to independently 
control primary and secondary channel settings, or to use the same setting for both links. By default, this 
control is unchecked, meaning any settings applied to the primary input will also be applied to the secondary 
input. In this case, the secondary channel settings cannot be set. When checked, the secondary channel settings 
become editable.
Main Input: Select an input from the drop-down list. Refer to 2.3 Connecting Sources, on page 2-8 for more 
details.
Display 3D Message Boxes: Enable/Disable message boxes that are triggered by 3D setup. NOTE: No 
message box is shown in “Off” and “Valid” state.
3.6.4 Example of 3D Multiple Display Setup
The following instructions is an example of a multiple display setup or refer to Figure 26 Example of 3D 
Multiple Display Setup.
1. Setup the projector’s warp and blends.
2. If necessary, shift or scale your image to fit the display.
3. Set all projectors to the largest minimum Frame Delay value that the worst case projector in the array can 
achieve.
4. Enable 3D mode on all projectors. Using the remote >Main Menu>Image Settings>Advanced Image 
Settings>3D Settings
5. Set all projectors 3D Sync Output to “Next Projector” with the exception of the last projector; select “To  
Emitter.”
6. Connect the PC emitter sync to either Input A (or B) on the 3D dongle.
7. Connect the output from the 3D dongle in the first projector to Input A (or B) on the next projector in the 
array.
8. Repeat the same procedure to all projectors except the last projector in the array. Route the Sync output 
from the 3D dongle to the emitter. NOTE: For the last projector, route the sync input.

9. If your emitter has a reverse setting ensure it is set to the Off position.
10. Set all projectors to 3D Sync Input A (or B) depending on your selection in steps 6 & 7.
11. Apply the 3D test pattern to all projectors.
12. Put on your 3D glasses.
13. When 3D is setup correctly, a small set of L’s are visible by closing your right eye and a small set of Rs are 
visible when closing your left eye. 
14. If necessary, adjust the dark interval settings until the test pattern sees the least amount of ghosting for each 
projector.
15. Adjust the 3D Sync Delay on the last projector in your array to match the optimal sampling point for the 
glasses being used. NOTE: The default auto setup value is typically good for all glasses.
16. Turn off the 3D test pattern on each projector. Your 3D content should look optimal.
