INTRODUCTION
General pointsa.
The SmartCrystal™ Diamond is the latest passive 3-D innovation offered by Volfoni.
The SmartCrystal™ Diamond is directly put in front of a 3-D projector lens. Combined with an appropriate screen (silvered screen), it
enables the audience wearing passive 3-D glasses to see in three dimensions.
The SmartCrystal™ Diamond technology offers a unique visual experience:
High light performance
Easy and quick installation: light and small-sized, it enables you to adapt to the variety and complexity of several configurations
such as ‘boothless’, and can be easily installed or uninstalled.
2-D/3-D configuration: The system is ideally designed to be assembled with a support which enables you to move it
manually/automatically according to the 2-D or 3-D projection mode.
Compatibility: The SmartCrystal™ Diamond works for DLP digital projectors offered by Christie, Barco, NEC. For every other
model, we invite you to contact Volfoni directly.


This manual is meant for fitters who are entitled to install the SmartCrystal™ Diamond. The use of this manual implies that the cinema’s
equipment respects all the 3-D screening necessary conditions such as the lamp type, the silvered screen or the glasses type.
This manual is exclusively meant for professionals who are authorized to operate on screening systems in cinema projection rooms.
Skilled technicians only, who are aware of potential dangers associated with high voltage, ultraviolet exposure and high
temperatures generated by lamps and their power circuit, are authorized to install/de-install the SmartCrystal™ Diamond and to
service it.

Specification of the projectorc.
The SmartCrystal™ Diamond is used with digital cinema projectors. It has been designed to work with the various digital cinema
projectors developed by the main manufacturers using the Texas Instrument DLP® technology.
This manual is based on the assumption that all of the specifications for the installation of the projector have been respected and
that the projector is ready for use. This manual has to be used while respecting the instructions for the installation of your system,
among them the projector’s user guide.
Specification of the bracketd.
The SmartCrystal™ Diamond is assembled on a specific bracket.
This manual is based on the assumption that all the specifications for the installation of the bracket have been respected and that
the bracket is ready for use. This manual has to be used while respecting the installation instructions of your system, among them the
bracket user guide.
Volfoni passive glassese.
With the SmartCrystal™ Diamond, the audience is required to wear passive glasses with circular polarization to watch 3-D contents.
Volfoni offers passive glasses with circular polarization which are optimized for a better quality 3-D visual experience.
These glasses are disposable or washable under the conditions recommended by Volfoni.
The polarizer filters of the glasses need to be compatible with the polarization generated by the SmartCrystal™ Diamond.
WARNING
THE CINEMA PASSIVE GLASSES MUST NOT BE USED AS SUNGLASSES.
POLARIZER FILTERS CANNOT PROTECT FROM ULTRAVIOLETS.

The SmartCrystal™ Diamond Boxa.
General introduction
The SmartCrystal™ Diamond Box is the opto-mechanical unit.
The SmartCrystal™ Diamond technology splits up the incident light flux into three separate fluxes:
The central flux (full image)
The upper flux (upper half image)
The lower flux (lower half image)
If you want to switch two electronic boxes, you must respect this compatibility table:
SCD CONTROLLER (Electronic box)
SCD (Optical box)
VSSP ≥ 10200
VSSP ≥ 13300
VSSP-10100
VSSP ≤ 13200
VSSP-10000
VSSP ≤ 13200
The system adjustment consists in
perfectly recombining these
three fluxes on the screen into a
single image (see right).

Detailed presentation
The SmartCrystal Diamond Box is compact and light:
Dimensions: W 28 cm X H 26 cm X D 10 cm
Weight: about 6kg.
On one side, the ‘screen’ side of the SmartCrystal™ Diamond Box is made up of the three outflow windows.
On the other side, the ‘projector’ side is made up of the entry window of the SmartCrystal™ Diamond Box, so as of two wheels to
adjust the system (see below).
On both sides (left and right) of the SmartCrystal™ Diamond Box are fitting wheels for the upper and lower half images. They enable
you to adjust the position of the two half images vertically and horizontally.
They are completed with two zoom wheels located on the projector side of the device. All of these six wheels are used to
align/superimpose the two half images on the central image.
1) Upper half image left/right adjustment wheel
2) Lower half image left/right adjustment wheel
3) Upper half image up/down adjustment wheel
4) Lower half image up/down adjustment wheel
5) Connector of the SmartCrystal™ Diamond box (SubD-9)
6) Upper half image +/- zoom wheel
7) Lower half image +/- zoom wheel

SmartCrystal™ Diamond Controllerb.
General presentation
The SmartCrystal™ Diamond Controller is the electronic unit of the system. Figure 6 shows a general
view of the SmartCrystal™ Diamond Controller.
Detailed presentation
1) Automation –pluggable terminal block connector (3
points): It enables you to control the system
automatically with ‘hit or miss’ electrical entries.
2) Network Operating Center (NOC) - RJ45 connector: It
enables you to run and to interact with the system from
a remote/relocatedcomputer center.
3) Sync_3D –BNC connector: Synchronization signal
generated by the projector or another source.
4) SCD Box interface - SUBD9 connector: This interface is
used to run the SCD Box.
5) Bracket-connector SUBD15 interfaces: This duplex interface is used to interact with the bracket and to run it to automate 2-D/3-D modes.
6) Feeding of the SmartCrystal™ Diamond Controller. This entry must be always used with the external feeding (5V/1.5A)
7) Maintenance –USB connector: Entry designed for SmartCrystal™ Diamond Controller software maintenance.
8) Digital information area about the system state and functioning.
