2 Preliminary Phase

2.1 Server Requirements

Only a server with proper firmware and software versions can support the Dolby 3D system. To support this Dolby 3D system, the IMS1000 shall be fitted with the following:
SM version 6.0.12 and higher
Firmware version 4.2.0 and higher
Software version 2.4.4 and higher

2.2 Required Tools

The following tools are required:
1. Dolby calibration update package for IMS1000 (Dolby3D Calibration Wizard-1.0.2)
2. Calibration Digital Cinema Packages
3. File for the Unity matrix (unity.txt)
4. Personal Computer (PC)
5. Spectroradiometer/Colorimeter (Photo Research Model PR655 Recommended)
The first three items are provided by Doremi Labs via email at cinemasupport@doremilabs.com. For new units, these three items are pre-installed. The unity.txt file can be found in the /opt directory. For units to upgrade in the field, these three items should be put on a USB stick.
Note: The colorimeter and personal computer are not provided by Doremi Labs.

3 Dolby 3D Configuration

The server must establish communication with the DFC100 from Dolby to enable the Dolby 3D system. This DFC100 must, therefore, be configured on the server, using the following steps:
1. Open a web browser and log in to the IMS1000.
2. Ingest the Dolby Colors package on the IMS1000.
3. Scroll over to the Device Manager page and click on the New button to add the Dolby 3D device (Figure 1).
4. Once the Dolby 3D device has been selected, it will appear in the Identifier field (Figure 1).
5. Click Save.
6. Proceed to Section 4.
