The VOLFONI Active 3D Glasses use fast-response liquid crystal lenses to create
the best image quality. It is the brightest and most cost-saving 3D solution currently
on the market.

USE AND SETUP
The 3D glasses do not need any setup to start. It is nevertheless necessary to check
all settings and connections of the 3D digital cinema system before projection. When
started, the lenses need 2 seconds to warm up and turn into working mode. Then the
lenses appear clear. When the 3D projection is finished or turned into 2D, the lenses will
remain clear for about 5 minutes. They will go directly into operation mode again
when a new signal is received.
Note: Please, make sure that there is no
obstacle in front of the IR captor during
3D projection.

Note: When the battery has less than three hours remaining, the lenses will
flash once a second to indicate that you must change the battery. It is
recommended to check the battery life before distributing to viewers.
To open the battery encasement on the right arm of the glasses:
-Use an instrument such as the Volfoni's battery tool, a paper clip or a prong.
-Put the glasses on a desk/table as it will be more convenient and easy
-Find the small hole on the right arm of the glasses, where the arm connects
with the battery encasement.
-Put the prong inside and when you hear a "click," you can pop open the
battery encasement

2. IR EMITTER
II.
Long Range IR Emitter
Long Range IR Emitter VAIK-0100 is a compact and powerful unit. The
emitter, with many built-in infrared LEDs, allows coverage all types of theater
rooms, regardless of the number of seats. 4 emitters can be linked up.
Thanks to its lightweight design, VAIK-0100 enhances the heat dissipation
(LED life protection). It is provided with a universal mounting head for security,
and is easy to install. It is simple to target the screen with the emitter laser pointer.
Please do not put the emitter in front of the audience.

IR Wavelength: 940 nm
Power Consumption: 10W in active status
Laser: Max Output: 0.5mW, Wavelength: 650 nm± 10
Dimension: 361 mm x 70 mm x 44 mm
WARNING: The laser pointer of this emitter emits Class IIIA laser.
Please DO NOT stare into beam or view directly with optical instruments.
Tester
Active 3D Glasses VAIK-0300 is a handy unit to be carried by a cinema
technician to check performance of 3D glasses. Turn on the power, then
the tester emits low rate IR signal to activate 3D glasses. Working 3D
glasses will then show a flickering.

4. SYNCHRONIZER
II.
The multi-function Distribution Module is a unit specially designed for mid
size and large digital 3D cinemas. This unit is plugged into the digital
projector and receives frame synchronizing signal via GPIO (DB-37). It extends
to four DB-9 emitter outputs. It also supports the extension of the Distribution
Module thanks to a DIN-3 cable, that simplifies cinema wiring. Each port is
equipped with an error diagnosis indicating LED.

Indication LED status definition
POWER: LED lights come on when power is on, otherwise lights are out.
CH1: Red LED lights come on when channel 1 IR emitter is detected,
Green LED lights come on if the IR emitter is activated, otherwise lights are out.
CH2: Red LED lights come on when channel 2 IR emitter is detected,
Green LED lights come on if the IR emitter is activated, otherwise lights are out.
CH3: Red LED lights come on when channel 3 IR emitter is detected,
Green LED lights come on if the IR emitter is activated, otherwise lights are out.
CH4: Red LED lights come on when channel 4 IR emitter is detected,
Green LED lights come on if the IR emitter is activated, otherwise lights are out.
LED light on when frame synchronizing
SETUP FRAME SYNC: LED always light when input frame is synchronized
between 130Hz to 150Hz, otherwise LED flickers.
FRAME SYNC FROM PROJECTOR:
signal is detected from projector.
