1 Introduction
The Dimension-3D is a unique and highly versatile 3D format converter that incorporates HighDefinition Multimedia Interface technology, dual stream HD-SDI, and single stream HD-SDI.
The versatility of the Dimension-3D makes it suitable to fit virtually into all stereoscopic workflows.
• The Dimension-3D allows for 3D input stream format to be used with all types of display
components that are currently available. This includes high end projectors and the latest
generation 3D-ready LCD displays.
• Converts stereoscopic camera rig outputs to recorders and displays.
• Horizontal and Vertical flip allows use with any stereoscopic camera rig configuration.
• Enables double-stack 3D projection via HDMI®.
• By encoding the left and right eye streams into a single HDSDI stream and back again, the
unit becomes ideal for recording 3D content on standard HD tape and server technology.
• When coupled with a Doremi Nugget or V1 server, a cost effective 3D play-out solution is
provided in conjunction with the powerful Doremi Asset Management software.
• A two-lines LCD display and menu wheel simplify the navigation through the Dimension-
3D’s menu. A USB connection for remote operation and an infrared remote control are also
provided.
1.1 Purpose
This document provides guidance on how to use the Dimension-3D. It explains the front panel,
infrared remote control, and the Doremi Universal Interface usage. It also details how to upgrade
the firmware via a Secure Digital (SD) memory card or a USB.
1.2 Contact Information

2 Dimension-3D Overview
2.1 Dimension-3D Description
There are many 3D delivery formats available. The 3D formats that are supported by the
Dimension-3D include the following: Dual Stream HD-SDI, Frame Packing HDMI (as defined in
HDMI specifications), Side/Side, Line/Line, Top/Bottom (Over/Under) and checkerboard. The most
common uses of the Dimension-3D are:
• Converting a Dual Stream HD-SDI to Single Stream HDMI Frame Packing signal to display
the output of a 3D HD server on a 3D LCD monitor.
• Converting a Single Stream HDMI Side/Side to a Dual Stream HD-SDI signal to display the
output of a computer on a professional 3D projector.
2.1.1 Concept
When the user feeds an input signal to the Dimension-3D and selects the proper input interface,
the unit detects the input resolution and frame rate and automatically sets the output resolution to
match the input. The only exception is when the user feeds a 2048x1080 signal on the SDI input, in
that case the output resolution will be trimmed down to 1920x1080 by removing 128 pixels, 64 from
each side. The Dimension-3D allows for selecting the output frame rate (frequency) to fit the
application. It uses the same frame rate conversion methods used on the GHX-10, which is
Doremi's high-end cross converter.

2.2.2 Display and Error messages
• The Dimension-3D front panel displays two lines of information: top line for input and
bottom line for output.
• D/S: SDI 1080p 29 means Dual Stream SDI input is at 1080p-29 (top line)
• S/S: HDM 1080p 60 means HDMI output is set to Side/Side 1080p 60 (bottom line)
• The Dimension-3D can display two types of errors on the front panel display:
• If the top line shows: "OFF:Not supported," the input format is not supported like the SD-
SDI or any non-video rate HDMI formats.
• If the bottom line shows: "OFF: Err 1080p 60," the 3D mode selected is not supported.
• When the unit displays any of the two messages above the output format will be forced.
• If the output interface is HDMI, the output format will be set to 1080p-60.
• If the output interface is SDI, the output format will be forced to 1080p-24.

3.4.1 Setting the Output Interface
• Since all formats are not common between SDI and HDMI, the output interface must be
selected.
• If the output interface is set to SDI and if the selected output format is a valid HDMI
resolution, both SDI and HDMI outputs will be active with proper colors on both outputs.
This is due to the presence of a dedicated color space converter on the HDMI output.
• If the output interface is set to HDMI and if the selected output format is a valid SDI
resolution, both HDMI and SDI outputs will be active but the SDI output colors might be
wrong. This is due to the absence of a dedicated color space converter on the SDI output
(this might change in future releases).
3.4.2 Color Space
• The ITU-R BT.709-5 (HD formats) and ITU-R BT.601-5 (SD formats) standards define the
range of color values in a digital signal to be:
• 16 to 240 for 8bit coding
• 64 to 960 for 10bit coding
• The Dimension-3D color space conversion supports the following standards, but it also
supports full range by allowing the color values to be:
• 0 to 255 for 8bit coding
• 0 to 1023 for 10bit coding
• On the Dimension-3D the full range modes are designated by the “ext” following the color
space conversion mode.
3.5 Image Menu
