CAMERA-ASSIST MENU: RIG SETTINGS
Rig Settings
Features: Depending on the rig setting
of the stereo camera, images from either
camera (left or right) can be rotated 180-
degrees and inverted or switched
horizontally or vertically.
Advantage: Left and right images are
easily reconfigured to synchronize the view
in virtually any camera rig setting.
Benefit: Convenient operation is assured
when using cameras in a new rig setting as
individual settings are saved even after the
Camera-assist Menu is closed.
NOTE: Rotation (vertical) and mirror (180-degree rotation)
will delay the image by two frames and a frame
synchronizer is used to synchronize the delayed image.

CAMERA-ASSIST MENU: SPLIT AND L/R SEQUENTIAL
Split
Features: L images are displayed on the left of
the Split line, and R images on the right.
Advantages: The vertical line can be shifted
freely to the left or right and the horizontal line
position can also be adjusted.
Benefits: Quick verification of misalignment
while rotating images during rig settings,
simplified checking of left/right camera positions,
and easy confirmation of hue and white balance
of the two images.

L/R Sequential
Features: Left and right images are
displayed alternatively at 0.5-second intervals.
Advantage: A horizontal line and square
marker on the upper left or right of the screen
are displayed to help in differentiating
between L and R images.
Benefit: Experienced creators can use L/R
Sequential to better generalize the overall
content of a 3D recording without wearing 3D
eyeglasses.

Methods to check the alignment of both cameras vary but the DT-3D24G1
has many convenient features that enable users to answer any requirement.

CAMERA-ASSIST MENU: R-SHIFT AND ANAGLYPH
R-Shift
Features: Images on the right can be shifted
horizontally while 3D images (left and right
signals) are displayed simultaneously.
Advantage: Images on the right can be
freely shifted as desired.
Benefits: 1.) Real-time confirmation of
optimally applied 3D effects and proper
camera setting alignment is possible.
2.) 3D effects can be viewed and verified on-
screen prior to actually moving the cameras.
Anaglyph
Features: Enables binocular disparity to be
checked using traditional red (for L images) and
blue (for R images) colors.
Advantage: As with the R-Shift function, images on
the right can be freely shifted as desired.
Benefits: 1.) Enables easy verification of vertical
alignment/tilt of the cameras without having to wear
3D eyeglasses.
2.) Clearly divided in sections, the amount of
binocular disparity is easily recognizable.

CAMERA-ASSIST MENU: INDIVIDUAL AND L/R SWAP
Individual
Features: Each left and right image can be
displayed individually.
Advantage: Left and right images
can be easily switched without
noise by pressing on the SELECT
button.
Benefit: Enables quick verification of
disparity between left and right input signals
as switching can be freely performed as
desired.
L/R Swap
Features: Allows left and right images to
be easily swapped.
Advantage: The reconnecting or
switching of input signals is not required.
Benefit: Helps in checking whether the
cables are properly connected.

CAMERA-ASSIST MENU: DUAL TIME CODE AND SCOPE BUTTON/LAMP
Dual Time Code
Features: Dual Display Mode and 3D
Display Mode are useful for checking the
time codes of left and right input signals.
Advantages: Time codes of both left and
right signals are shown in Dual Display
Mode, whereas only the left signal time
code is displayed in 3D Display mode.
Benefit: Dual Display Mode makes it easy
to check the time code of both input signals.
Dual Display Mode: Displays time
codes for left and right signals as
well as the time gap between the
two signals.

Scope Button/Lamp
Features: The two built-in oscilloscopic wave
signals of Waveform (W.F.M.) and
Vectorscope (V.S.) can be displayed.
Advantages: Parallel Wave Form, Parallel
Vector Scope, Difference Wave Form, and
Difference Vector Scope displays are
available. The SCOPE button can also be
used to select a monitor mode, which cycles
through these modes.
Benefit: A separate scope monitor is not
required.
Parallel Wave Form: Displays the
two signal forms side by side.
Parallel Vectorscope: Displays the
two signal scopes side by side.
Difference Wave Form: Displays the
differential between the two signals in
wave form.
Difference Vectorscope: Displays
the differential between the two
signals in vectorscope. 8

3D BASICS: SETUP AND RECORDING METHODS
Setting Up the DT-3D24G1
Advantages: In addition to a wide variety of
camera- assist functions, a number of
features that are specific to 3D recordings
such as the 3D Cursor and Grid Modes are
also available.
Basics of 3D camera recording
There are two methods of making 3D recordings, either of
which can be used to suit specific requirements.
Parallel method: The two cameras are positioned in
parallel with wider disparity (two cameras placed further
apart) used to increase field depth, while a longer
convergence point makes images appear to pop up.
When the disparity is widened, however, image
deterioration is likely to occur in the background.
Convergence method: When the divergence angle is
widened significantly, this will cause the subject matter
to shift behind the screen surface and result in image
deterioration.
Parallel method: Depth and pop-up
effects cannot be mixed into a single
scene.
Convergence method: Excessive
divergence angle can cause too much
disparity, requiring keystone adjustment
of the image.
When compared to conventional video recordings, the setting up of
3D recordings can take up to three times longer as lengthy camera installation
and the proper adjustment of depth and pop-up effects are required.

Benefits: The DT-3D24G1 not only speeds up
the 3D recording process but also helps to create
3D recordings that are more comfortable to view.
