Quick Start Guide
TITAN 3D Displays
This guide applies to all 3D Titans of Producon Version F or higher.
Version F projectors can be
idened by inspecng
Input 8 for the new BNC type
Sync connectors.
3D displays

a. Plug in and power all devices.
b. Set the 3D source to output the desired resoluon.
c. Connect a BNC – BNC cable from the projector’s Sync Out to the Sync IR Emier.
d. Connect an “HDMI to DVI” cable from the source to the projector.
The HDMI Cable length should not exceed 50. If “Sparkles”, digital noise, or missing picture occurs, then use a shorter cable, replace it with
a higher quality cable, or consider a HDMI Extender. HDMI to DVI adaptors are not recommended since they aenuate and can degrade the
signal. Also, even short cables may result in image arfacts if they are of poor quality.
Note – Although it is not visible from the Input 8 Panel, the projector’s DVI connecon incorporates an HDMI 1.4a Receiver. To connect to
the HDMI 1.4a receiver, the “Sub” DVI connector on Input 8 must be used. The DVI “Sub” connector is the only connecon with an HDMI
1.4a receiver.
• Use the “Sub” connector on Input 8 if your 3D content is provided by Consumer 3D sources, such as a 3D Blu-Ray player or cable /
satellite tuners with 3D capabilies.
• Use the “Main” connector on Input 8 if computers serve as your 3D sources, and their output is sequenal video at high frame rates,
such as 120 Hz.
• Use both “Main” and “Sub” if the output of your 3D source is “Dual Pipe”, which is delivered via disnct le and right eye cables.
Special Consideraons for Placement of the 3D IR Emier
• Special consideraon should be taken when installing the 3D IR Emier. It should be either located at the screen poinng towards
the viewer, or it should be placed near the projector poinng toward the screen. Tesng should be done to ensure the IR sync
pulses are reected back to the viewer’s 3D glasses. The 3D glasses will not operate properly if they do not receive the IR sync
pulses.
• When the 3D IR Emier is acve, it is very important to note that the IR emission or “blast” may “jam” the IR receivers of local
electronic devices that are in direct line of site with the emier. If the IR blast from the 3D emier jams the IR receiver on the
projector, the projector may not funcon properly and control via the wireless remote control and the built-in keypad may be
disrupted. Therefore, for 3D applicaons with IR emiers, we recommended the use of control via Serial or IP based control
devices. When controlling the projector via Serial or IP based devices, the projector’s IR receivers should be disabled by plugging a
3.5mm mini connector into the hardwire input, or by covering the IR receivers with opaque material.
• If it is not possible to employ Serial or IP control of the projector, and the IR receivers in the projector are being overloaded or
jammed by the 3D IR emier, we recommend employing a hardwire connecon between the remote control and the projector.
Connecng the 3.5mm hard-wire cable will disable the IR receivers on the projector.
• When nished with 3D viewing, and switching back to 2D, the projector’s 3D Mode should be reset to the “O” posion. This will
turn o the 3D IR emier, and it will prevent any 2D content from possibly being displayed with 3D sengs.

a. Set the projector’s 3D Mode in the 3D menu. Go to : Menu / Setup / 3D
Press the le and right arrows to select 3D Mode. Press the up and t arrows to select.
Possible 3D Modes include:
• O – 3D circuitry is turned o. No 3D imagery will be displayed.
• Professional – All opons will be available for adjustment.
• Consumer – 3D Input Assign, 3D Format and Output Shuering will be unavailable.
The following comments will help you determine which 3D Mode is appropriate for your applicaon:
• In Professional mode, all 3D formats, including Side by Side 1080p60, Frame Sequenal and Dual-Pipe can be used. It is important
to note that Frame Sequenal must use the “Main” DVI connector on Input 8 if the vercal frame rate of the source is greater than 60hz.
• In Consumer mode, the projector will automacally detect the following common 3D standards on Input 8:
Frame Packing : 2205p24, 720p50, 720p60 Side by Side : 1080i60, 1080p24
Frame Sequenal – 1080p
3D Input Assign - Select the desired Input. The choices are Input 3 and Input 8. Please note that this seng is not available in Consumer
Mode:
• Input 3: This input can be used in Professional Mode and is appropriate for standard bandwidth 3D source that do not require HDMI
1.4a compability, but do require ulizaon of the projector’s internal scaling. Input 3 is not recommended for consumer 3D applicaons.
• Input 8: Recommended for both Consumer and Professional 3D applicaons, the “sub” connector on this input incorporates the
HDMI 1.4a receiver. In addion, this input also provides the ability to accept high frame rate 3D signals and Dual Pipe signals, as
might be used in more crical Professional applicaons.
Please note – Input 8 does not provide image scaling. Therefore, if the nave resoluon of the source is something other than the
projector’s nave resoluon, an external scaler should be used if full display resoluon is desired. An external scaler is also required
when using an anamorphic lens in combinaon with a source connected to input 8.

3D Format – Select from Frame Packing, Side-By-Side (Half), Sequenal, Top-And-Boom, or Dual Pipe, as appropriate for your 3D source.
Please note, this seng is not available in Consumer Mode, as the 3D format is automacally detected by the HDMI 1.4a receiver.
Dark Time – Image Ghosng can be caused by the le-eye and right-eye images overlapping during the me that the Z screen or 3D glasses
are switching. Set the Dark Time to a value appropriate for the glasses or Z-screen. Try 1000 μS. Opmizing the Dark Time seng and 3D Sync
Delay (detailed below) will help to minimize ghosng.
Frame Dominance – The 3D frames are presented to the projector in pairs, and for proper viewing, the dominant frame needs to be present-
ed on-screen rst. Set Frame Dominance to match the incoming 3D video frame sequence. If the 3D content is uncomfortable to view, Frame
Dominance may be set incorrectly.
3D Sync Delay – The sync signal from the 3D source will be “in phase” with the frames generated by its graphics processor. To compensate for
processing delays in the projector, the 3D Sync Delay control is provided to introduce a delay to the sync output signal sent to the Z-Screen or
3D glasses. Adjust the Sync Delay me to minimize ghosng and achieve a smooth grey-scale.
3D Sync Source – Whenever possible, select “External”. In general, you should only select “internal” if your 3D source does not generate 3D sync.
3D Sync Output Polarity – Toggle this seng if the le-eye and right-eye images appear to be swapped.
Output Shuering (Frame Rate Mulplicaon) – If the 3D content is only available from the source at low frame rates, it will be necessary to
mulply the frame rate to reduce image icker. For example, a 60Hz 3D frame rate (30 Hz per eye) can be doubled to 120Hz (60 Hz per eye),
or a 48Hz 3D frame rate (24 Hz per eye) can be tripled to 144Hz (72 Hz per eye). Please note, this seng is not available in Consumer Mode,
as output shuering is automacally set based on the format detected by the HDMI 1.4a receiver.

a) If there is no 3D image present, then using the projector’s menu, verify that the signal is being received from the Source. If it is
present, the resoluon will appear in the “Source Informaon”. If it is not, check the sources output sengs, any processors in the
path, and the cabling.
b) If any digital noise or arfacts are present in the image, then test and verify the quality of the HDMI to DVI cable. If other external
devices or extenders are suspected, bypass each and then test again.
c) If the Output Shuering is set too high for the selected source, then the vercal size will be compressed.
d) If the 3D format is not automacally detected when in Consumer Mode, then change the 3D Mode to Professional, and manually
select the 3D Input, the 3D Format, and the 3D Output Shuering. Go to : Menu / Informaon / Source Informaon.
