1.1 Introduction
Function
The illusion of depth in a photograph, m ovie or other 2D image, is created by presenting a slightly different image to each eye. The
brain puts the two pictures together to form one 3D image.
The passive polarization 3D viewing system can be obtained with a dual projection setup.
In front of the lens of each projector, there’s a linear polarizer (reference 1, image 1-1). The polarization for the left eye is perpendicular to the one for the right eye.
The light emitted by the projectors is projected onto and reflected by a special screen (reference 2, image 1-1) that is coated to retain
the polarization.
The images are simultaneously projected on the screen, so they overlap, resulting in a blurry image. But since the spectators a re
wearing passive 3D g lasses (reference 3, image 1-1) with perpendicularly polarized lenses, they can see clear and well de fi ned 3D
images.

1.2 Installation process overview
Installation from A to Z
1. S tack the two projectors. The two projectors must be stacked using the m ultifunctional frame, which is exclusively designed
for the Barco RLM W-series projectors. See the installation manual (R5905038) of the multifunctional frame (R9899700).
2. In stall the 3D polarizer assembly. The 3D polarizer assembly has to be mounted on the frame of the upper projector in the
dual stack. See "Installation of the 3D polarizer assembly", page 8 .
3. A lign the two stacked p rojectors. It is important that the p rojected images of both projectors coincide
the screen. S ee th e installation manual (R5905038) of the multifunctional frame (R9899700) to align the projectors using the
adjustments on the frames.
4. A pply 3D content to the stacked projectors. For that connect the 3D content for the left eye with the input port of the lower
projector and the 3D content for the right eye with the input port of the upper projector.
5. A djust the 3D polarization filters. For optimal 3D performance, the projected surface upon the polarization filters should be as
big as possible without loss of content. See "Adjustment the 3D polarization filters", page 11.
6. C lean the 3D polarization fi lters if necessary. See "Cleaning the polarization filters", page 13.
7. E nable/Disable the 3D polarization fi lters. F or 2D projection, the polarization filter has to be rem

2.1 Installation of the 3D polarizer assembly
How to install the 3D polarizer assembly?
1. P lace the 3D polarizer assembly on top of the two stacked projectors as illustrated (image 2-1). If necessary, adjust the position
of the clamps (reference 1, image 2-1) on the frame in the Y direction (reference 2, image 2-1). Release the sc rews (reference
3, im age 2-1) and slide the clamps as desired. Tighten the screws.
2. S ecure the 3D polarizer assembly on the upper multifunctional frame by locking the clamps (reference 1, image 2-1).

3. Install the filter assembly with the filters in front of the projector lenses as illustrated (image 2-2). The upper profile of the filter
assembly has two guiding bolts (reference 4, image 2-2) which slide into the profile mounted o n top of the pro jector. Tighten the
two knobs (reference 5, image 2-2) on
top of the fi lter ass embly to secure the position of the polarization filters.

bracket against the filterassemblybeforefastening. Usea4mmAllenwrenchtotightenthescrew(reference7,image 2-3) with
hammer nut (reference 8, image 2-3).
Note: This corner bracket functions as a reference for the filter assembly. In case the filter assembly was retracted for a 2D
projection it can easily be placed back in front o f the projection lens by sliding the assembly against the corner bracket.
5. P lace the plastic cap (reference 9, image 2-3) upon the profile.

2.2 Adjustment the 3D polarization filters
Why adjusting the 3D polarization filters?
For optimal performance of the 3D polarization filters, the projected surface upon the polarization filters should be as big as possible
without loss of content. The design of the 3D polarization as sem bly makes it possible to adjust the position of the filters in the X , Y
and Z direction.
This procedure assumes that the projected images of both stacked projectors are already aligned.
Why adjusting the 3D polarization filters?
1. A djust the Y direction of the polarization filters until the center of the projected image matches the cen ter of the polarization filter.
Release the two knobs (reference 1, image 2-4) to reposition the assembly with polarization filt
the corner bracket (reference 2, image 2-4). Use a 4 mm Allen wrench to release the corner bracket.
Tip: Once the Y direction is correctly aligned, install the corner bracket against the assembly with polarization filters. This
corner bracket will function as a reference to reposition the polarization fi lters for 3D pro
for 2D projection.

3. A djust the X direction of the polarization filters, by sliding the upper frame aw ay or towards the projection lenses, until the projected surface upon the polarization filters is as big as possible without loss of content. Release the two wing screws (reference

2.3 Cleaning the polarization filters
When cleaning the polarization filters?
Only clean the polarization filters in case it is really necessary. This means in case dust is clearly visible upon the surface of the
polarization filters.
WARNING: ISOPROPANOL ALCOHOL (200–661–7).
Hazardous product. Irritating to eyes and skin. Always use in a well ventilated area. Vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of con tact with the eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water and seek medical adv ise.
CAUTION: ISOPROPANOL A LCO HO L (200–661–7).
Hazardous product. Lightly flammable. Alw ays use in a well ventilated area. Keep away from sources of
ignitions. Do not smoke wh ile working with isopropanol. Exclusive keep in original container tightly closed
at a cool, well ventilated and fireproof storage space.

How to clean the polarization filters?
1. Try to blow away the dust with compressed air.
2. Is all dust removed from the polarization filters?
If y es, stop this cleaning procedure.
If no, wipe off the dust of the polarization filters. Use for that a clean Toraysee
Caution: Always wipe in a single direction. Do not wipe back and forwards across the filter surface as this tends to grind dirt
Tip: Limit the n umber of wipe movements. This to protect the optical coating. It is better to wipe of the dust with one good
3. Is all dust removed from the polarization filters?
If y es, stop this cleaning procedure.
If no, wipe off the dust of the polarization filters first with a clean cotton cloth and demineralized water and than with a clean

2.4 Enabling/Disabling the 3D polarization filters
2D and 3D projection
The design of the 3 D polarization assemb ly makes it possible to retract the filters from the lenses for 2D projection. The filters can
easily be placed back in their o riginal position by sliding the fi lter assembly against the reference bracket.
How to enable/disable the 3D polarization filters?
1. R elease the two knobs (reference 1, image 2-7) on top of the filter assembly.
2. S lide the filter assembly away from the lenses for 2D projection or slide the filter assembly against the reference bracket (reference 2, image 2- 7) for 3D projection.
3. Tighten the two knobs (reference 1, image 2-7) to secure the position of the filters.
