1. Overview
bestView ADF-5000 Technology Highlights
Automatic 2D to 3D changeover
Newly developed technology makes Cinema 3D system much easier. ADF-5000 works
Automatically, detecting whether video signal is 3D or not. When, a movie signal is 2D,
LCD panel go down and go up onto 3D by itself.
Various projector compatibility
bestView ADF-5000 system fits on digital projectors from most major manufacturers.
Including Christie CP2000; BARCO D-Cine premiere DP1500 and DP2000; and NEC
NC1600 and NC2500. For support of other projector models, please contact A&D 3D.
Easy installation and removal
ADF-5000 can be added to and removed very easily from projection room equipment.
Low Maintenance cost.
ADF-5000 has longer life with automatic control and use inexpensive circular polarized
3D glasses.
About This Manual
This manual provides instructions for setting the optical alignment of the ADF- 5000, along
with recommended daily operation procedures for running a digital projector when ADF-
5000 system is installed. Please use this guide in conjunction with the user manual and
installation instructions for your projector; all warnings, guidelines, and advisories in the
projector's user manual.
- Identification of the components of the bestView ADF-5000 System
- Instructions on cleaning and maintaining the bestView ADF-5000.
- Appendices detailing projector-specific installation hardware and procedures.
1-1. bestView ADF-5000 Requirements
When running the bestView ADF-5000 system
Several important requirements for optimum 3D projection must be met. The following
equipment is required for proper functioning of the A&D 3D cinema system. Please contact
your A&D 3D representative for a list of approved vendors.
Projector
Any DLP-based cinema projector with EFIB and version 10.0 or higher TI Soft-ware, with:
- Lamp: 2.0 KW to 6.5 KW
Server
3D enabled DCI compliant server. Currently, Dolby, Doremi, GDC, and Kodak digital
cinema servers satisfy this requirement. Note that the server may require its own rack,
depending on booth configuration.
Projection screen
Silver screen size: unlimited, depending on projector model and lamp type.
Projection booth
Space: ADF-5000 system is attached in front of DCP on ceiling. So, extra space is
unnecessary for standing.
3D Glasses
Only circular polarized 3D glasses work with ADF-5000 system. ADG-3200 would be
match with ADF-5000 for clear 3D effect and performance.

2-2. bestView ADF-5000 Connecting Cables
The below Figure 2-3 illustrates the connection cables used to wire the bestView ADF- 5000
components to your projection system. Synchronous cable connects to the GPIO port of the
projector. It‟s very simple connection why ADF-5000 has totally automatic 3D changeover
and frame setting function.
[Figure 2-3. Connecting cables]
2-3. bestView ADF-5000 LCD Panel
The LCD panel work automatically, detecting whether video signal is 3D or not by itself. When a
video signal is 2D, LCD Panel go down and go up onto 3D automatically.
[Figure 2-4. bestView ADF-5000 operation]
ATTENTION ATTENTION
 Please never touch the filter surface with bare hands.
Detecting 3D signal, LCD panel goes up
automatically
Detecting 2D signal, LCD panel goes
down automatically

2-4. ADG-3200 3D Glasses for 3D-Filtering Test
Circular polarized glasses utilize circular polarization technology to provide a realistic, full
color 3D image. 3D-glasses are disposable and are distributed to the audience. The audience
must wear the glasses to see the 3D image.
[Figure 2-5. Circular polarized glasses ADG-3200]
Only ADG-3200 3D-glasses will work with bestView ADF-5000 presentation. The audience
cannot use just any pair of glasses.
The polarizing filters in the glasses must match the polarization of the presentation for
an optimum 3D effect.
Polarization rate: 99.9%
Transmittance: 42%
Dimension of lenses: 58mm x 34mm
Shape of glasses arm: Curved
ATTENTION ATTENTION
PLEASE DO NOT WEAR 3D-GLASSES OUTSIDE.
–Polarized filters are NOT the same as lenses used in sunglasses.

3. bestView ADF-5000 Setup & Operation
The procedure in this section will help installers and projectionists (1) to attach the 3D
filter onto projector. (2) to set up and test 3D presentation.
3-1. Installation of bestView ADF-5000
ATTENTION ATTENTION
Before going ahead with the installation, please carefully read the previous
instructions.
Prepare proper space for installing the system between the projector and
bestView ADF-3000.
When installers set up projector and bestView ADF-5000 on the ceiling,
the bestView must be located in front of joint bracket which is attached to
projector.
[Figure 3-1. bestView ADF-5000 Joint structure]
①Joint Bracket
- Please locate attached joint bracket under the projector.
②ADF-5000
- Please locate bestView ADF-5000 in front of joint bracket.
③Joint with screw
- Using the screw, please join between ADF-5000 and bracket.

3-2. Setting the Projector
3D sync polarity depends on the settings of server and projector.
[Figure 3-2. Christie CP2000, 3D-set-up UI]
1. Connect HD projector to 3D server and operate. (Please
refer to the manual for more information.)
2. Upload the film, finish all the steps and be ready to push the “play” button on the
server. (Projector is in the process of 3D sync signal output.)
3. Set up the 3D mode on the HD projector.
4.Recommended dark time setting is 400µs.
3-3. Start and Ending Film
3-3-1. Starting
1. Set up the server and projector in waiting mode. Just push the "play" but- ton, then
the 3D film will begin to operate.
2. Check the USB cable connection.
3.Turn the power on using the power button on the setting panel. Then you will see the
red LED on. Start the 3D film by pushing the play button on the digital server.
4. If L/R shows reverted on the projector, use the L/R button to correct the problem.
3-3-2. Ending Film
1. End the operation of HD projector and 3D server.
(Refer to the projector and server manual for more information.)

4-2. Maintenance
A small amount of dust or dirt on 3D-filter has minimal effect on image quality. Clean 3D-filter
only when dust, dirt, oil or other marks are obvious. When doing so, clean the glass
according to the instructions in the following sections: Never touch the optical surfaces with
bare hands.
Projection room port glass are specially treated with an optical anti-reflective coating.
Always use a high-intensity flashlight to check 3D-filter for particles.
