1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The SmartCrystal™ Cinema Horizontal is Volfoni’s latest innovation in passive 3D technology. The SmartCrystal™ Cinema polarization window
is placed directly in front of a 3D cinema projector lens, thereby generating stereoscopic 3D images on suitable screens when viewed with
passive 3D glasses.
This passive polarization system is perfect for any movie theater with DCI-compliant DLP projectors, and permits a quick installation in any
projection booth with its optimal support brackets.
The SmartCrystal™ Cinema panel is comprised of a multi-layer stack of liquid crystal elements based on Volfoni’s proprietary “Surface­Switching” technology. This enables high frame rates of up to 240Hz to be achieved, creating crisp and bright 3D images.
The SmartCrystal™ Cinema Horizontal can be connected directly to any suitable 3D synchronization source and operates with cinema
projectors up to 7kW.

Projector side

Most types of 3D cinema projectors are compatible with the SmartCrystal™ Cinema Horizontal system.
DLP (Digital Light Processing) projectors are especially efcient for 3D projection. The system is easy to set-up with a DCI-compliant DLP pro­jector and works with projector lamps up to 7KW.
LCD™ (Liquid Crystal Display) and LCoS™ (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) projection technologies, such as JVC’s D-ILA™ and Sony’s SXRD™, gene­rate a polarized light beam that may not be compatible with SmartCrystal™ Cinema Horizontal’s active polarization system. Please consult
Volfoni for additional information.

3D screen

Polarization-preserving silver screen

In order to enjoy the best quality 3D images, a polarization-preserving silver screen designed for 3D projection is required. If your screen was

not manufactured specically for 3D use, you might experience uncomfortable and blurry 3D images with a high level of cross-talk.

The SmartCrystal™ Cinema is designed for projection with screen sizes up to 20 meters (66 feet) wide, with a 2.4 screen gain.

Passive polarized 3D glasses

The SmartCrystal™ Cinema Horizontal is compatible with most commonly used passive 3D glasses (circular-polarized only).

- The unit has a built-in surge protector

- The system is supplied with two different power cables, a European model and an American model.

- This equipment should be electrically grounded.

- The electrical circuit will detect any voltage spikes generated in the system and the system will be shut-down should this occur. Thereafter, it will be necessary

to re-start the system once the fault has been rectied.

- In case of malfunction, one of the LED indicators on the control board will light up and the system will be shut-down. Then, the fault should be rectied before

re-starting the system.

- To rectify any indicated faults, please contact your dealer, installer stating the model number shown in the silver label of the product.

3.4 - Projector settings

To use the SmartCrystal™ Cinema Horizontal, the 3D projector should be set as below:
