X106™ Evolution glasses from XPANDVISION™ are professional quality,
easy-to-use glasses for 3D cinema, a part of XPANDVISION™ 3D cinema
glasses system for creating stereoscopic images based on active glasses
technology.
The glasses must be synchronized with the image presented on screen. This
is achieved by using an Infra-Red signal / IR link. The synchronization signal
is fed from a digital projector to the XPANDVISION system which generates
IR pulses and transmits them to the glasses using its IR emitters. This
approach yields the highest performance, a wide viewing angle, immunity
to head tilt problems and eliminating crosstalk.

Using the Glasses
X106™ Evolution glasses were designed with ease of use in mind. Their
usage is straightforward and intuitive. See following sections for details.
Turning ON / OFF
X106™ Evolution glasses from XPANDVISION™ work in automatic mode –
there is no power switch to turn the glasses “ON” or “OFF”. Their default
mode is “OFF”. When the glasses are “OFF”, the electronic circuit periodically
checks for a presence of a valid IR signal. If a valid IR signal is present,
the glasses turn “ON” and start shuttering their lenses. Once the signal
disappears, glasses clear their lenses and return to OFF mode.
Glasses Testing
It is strongly suggested that glasses are tested before handing them out to
viewers. The test consists of two steps:
1) Observe the glasses to determine whether they are signaling a low
battery – see section Low Battery Indication.
2) Test for normal operation using the AT100 Active Glasses Tester, which is
distributed with XPANDVISION’s cinema system.
The AT100 is designed to generate a low intensity IR signal that, when
passed within 2 feet (60 cm) of the glasses, causes the lenses to blink in
response to the IR signal. Both lenses should blink at a visible rate and in
doing so indicate that the glasses are functioning properly and are ready
for distribution. If the lenses do not blink, the battery is empty and should
be replaced before further use, or glasses are damaged or malfunctioning.

Low Battery Indication
When battery level is low, glasses start indicating this by blinking both their
lenses periodically. This only happens when glasses are in OFF mode!
If a low battery condition is detected during operation, i.e., in ON mode
while watching 3D content, glasses will continue to operate normally for at
least 5 hours to allow the viewers to nish watching the content.
Once low battery indication is observed, or if glasses are nonresponsive,
batteries should be replaced. Check the Battery Replacement section for
details.
Anti-Theft System
X106™ Evolution glasses feature an integrated EAS security tag based on
AM NDL technology to discourage, prevent and/or detect theft.
Optional Nosepiece Installation
X106™ Evolution glasses come equipped with a preinstalled nosepiece. If
needed, a larger nosepiece can be installed to make wearing the glasses
more comfortable, especially for viewers with smaller noses.
The original, preinstalled nosepiece is not removed when installing the
larger one. Instead, the larger nosepiece gets installed over the existing one
by pressing it into position. See below images.
Note: The larger nosepiece is an accessory sold separately.

Cleaning
For cleaning X106™ Evolution 3D glasses, which are sealed and therefore
water resistant, XPANDVISION™ offers an elegant, efcient yet powerful
solution with exceptional cleaning results – the ELAVO™ Complete
Sanitization and Distribution System. ELAVO™ system is a portable and
environmentally friendly solution for cleaning, distributing and storing
X106™ Evolution glasses, making it less expensive, quicker and easier on
the theatre staff to manage. The glasses are placed in custom racks, which
are inserted into the ELAVO™ machine, which then cleans, disinfects and
dries the glasses, making them ready for their next users.
Alternatively, cleaning and sanitizing wipes from XPANDVISION™ can be
used to manually clean the glasses.
Handling Instructions
Storage
It is recommended that the glasses be stored away from any IR sources such
as uorescent lights. It is sufcient to cover the glasses so that any IR signal
does not accidentally trigger the glasses to turn ON.
Storage temperature should be standard ofce temperatures as higher or
lower temperatures reduce battery life.
In cinema, the optimal storage solution is either the ELAVO™ Cart and
ELAVO Rack, if using the ELAVO™ Sanitization System or the XPANDVISION™
Trolley. Both of these solutions were designed to provide the cinemas with
optimal solution for storage, handling, distribution, service and collection of
XPANDVISION™ Cinema 3D Glasses.
Handling
The glasses feature exible ear handles and durable frame, both designed
to protect the electronics and lenses. However, the lenses are susceptible to
cracking if the glasses are twisted or bent excessively.
Do not twist or bend the glasses more than required to place
them comfortably on the head! Broken lenses are not covered by
warranty.

© 2018, XPAND 3D 11 www.xpandvision.com
Glasses should be held by the frame and/or ear handles in order to avoid
scratching the lenses or getting ngerprints on them.
The user must be aware of these limitations and avoid any twisting, bending
or other rough handling of the glasses.
Troubleshooting
If glasses do not work as expected and as described in this user manual,
rst make sure that a XPANDVISION 3D IR emitter is being used, that glasses
are in range of its signal, that the emitter is connected to a projector and
that the projector is in 3D mode. If despite this glasses don’t work, replace
batteries to make sure they are not empty.
