Polarization-preserving silver screen
In order to enjoy the best quality of 3D images, a polarization-preserving silver screen
designed for 3D projection is required. If your screen was not manufactured specifically
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 Neo is compatible with most commonly used passive 3D
glasses (circular-polarized only).

USER MANUAL
Date : 07/01/2020
When not using the SmartCrystal™ Cinema, put the system in 2D mode to protect
the polarization window from dust and damage, and thereby increase product
longevity.
B.
Using the userinterface
1.
ON / OFF switch
Put this button in position ON to power the SmartCrystal™ Cinema Neo and begin
operatingthe system. Put it in position OFF whenyou want to stopusingthe 3D system.
2.
2D / 3Dmode
There is one button that moves the polarization window of the SmartCrystal™ Cinema
Neo left and right. When the system is powered, press this button and the polarization
window will emerge from its encasement (3D mode). Press this same button when you
want to stop using the SmartCrystal™ Cinema, and the polarization window will go back
inside its encasement (2D mode).
This button blinks in green when the polarization window is moving. Typically when you
open or close the polarization window of the SmartCrystal™ Néo.
This button is green continuously when the 3D system is open and the polarization window
is out of the encasement. This button is not illuminated when the polarization window is in
2D mode.
Security system: The polarization window will stay in 3D mode if the 3D sync is still
detected. This is a security measure to prevent the closing of the 3D system during a 3D
projection.
3.
Network connection –Rj45 plug
The NOC connector allows the system to be connected to a central network in order to
retrieve information and perform remote operations on the SmartCrystal™ Cinema Neo
(e.g., monitoring, remote control, etc.).
There are two different modes of use for the SmartCrystal™ Cinema Neo:
•
Manualmode: the user interface of the SmartCrystal™ Cinema Neo directly controls the
operation of the 3D system.
•
NOC mode: information and operations are automatically sent from the server via the
central network.
4.

5.
LED check
There are 4 different LED lights that indicate the following information:
LED number 1: STATE OF FAN
This LED is blue when the fan is running and red when there is a problem with the
ventilation system.
LED number 2: STATE OF MOTOR
This LED is blue when the motor is running and red when there is a problem with the
system.
LED number 3: STATE OF SYNC
This “SYNC” LED operates as follows:
-
Once the systemis powered (but not synchronized), the SYNC LED will illuminate in red.
The system starts as soon as it is connected to a power source.
-
Once the SmartCrystal™ Cinema receives the synchronization signal, the SYNC LED will
illuminate in blue as follows:
•
Blue continuous light: signal for 2D synchronization (less than 96Hz)
•
Blue blinking light: signal for 3D synchronization (greater than 96Hz)
LED number 4: POWER SUPPLY
This LED is blue when the system is properly powered and off when the system is not
powered.

Remote control
Will be developed later
