1.1 Introduction  
Function  
The illusion of depth in a photograph, movie or other 2D image, is created by presenting a slightly different image to each eye. The  
brain puts the two pictures together to form one 3D image.  
The passive polarization 3D viewing system can be obtained with a dual projection setup.  
In front of the lens of each projector, there’s a linear polarizer (reference 1, image 1-1). The polarization for the left eye is perpen-  
dicular to the one for the right eye.  
The light emitted by the projectors is projected onto and reected by a special screen (reference 2, image 1-1) that is coated to retain  
the polarization.  
The images are simultaneously projected on the screen, so they overlap, resulting in a blurry image. But since the spectators are  
wearing passive 3D glasses (reference 3, image 1-1) with perpendicularly polarized lenses, they can see clear and well dened 3D  
images.

1.2 Installation process overview  
Installation from A to Z  
1. Stack the two projectors. The two projectors must be stacked using the multifunctional frame, which is exclusively designed  
for the Barco RLM W-series projectors. See the installation manual (R5905038) of the multifunctional frame (R9899700).  
2. Install the 3D polarizer assembly. The 3D polarizer assembly has to be mounted on the frame of the upper projector in the  
3. Align the two stacked projectors. It is important that the projected images of both projectors coincide with each other on  
the screen. See the installation manual (R5905038) of the multifunctional frame (R9899700) to align the projectors using the  
adjustments on the frames.  
4. Apply 3D content to the stacked projectors. For that connect the 3D content for the left eye with the input port of the lower  
projector and the 3D content for the right eye with the input port of the upper projector.  
5. Adjust the 3D polarization lters. For optimal 3D performance, the projected surface upon the polarization lters should be as  
big as possible without loss of content. See "Adjustment the 3D polarization lters", page 11.  
6. Clean the 3D polarization lters if necessary. See "Cleaning the polarization lters", page 13.  
7. Enable/Disable the 3D polarization lters. For 2D projection, the polarization lter has to be removed from the front of the pro-  
jection lens. The 3D polarization assembly is designed to shift the lters away from the projection lens. See "Enabling/Disabling

2.1 Installation of the 3D polarizer assembly  
How to install the 3D polarizer assembly?  
1. Place the 3D polarizer assembly on top of the two stacked projectors as illustrated (image 2-1). If necessary, adjust the position  
of the clamps (reference 1, image 2-1) on the frame in the Y direction (reference 2, image 2-1). Release the screws (reference  
3, image 2-1) and slide the clamps as desired. Tighten the screws.  
2. Secure the 3D polarizer assembly on the upper multifunctional frame by locking the clamps (reference 1, image 2-1).

3. Install the lter assembly with the lters in front of the projector lenses as illustrated (image 2-2). The upper prole of the lter  
assembly has two guiding bolts (reference 4, image 2-2) which slide into the prole mounted on top of the projector. Tighten the  
two knobs (reference 5, image 2-2) on top of the lter assembly to secure the position of the polarization lters.

4. Install the corner bracket (reference 6, image 2-3) upon the prole mounted on top of the projector as illustrated. Slide the corner  
bracket against the lter assembly before fastening. Use a 4 mm Allen wrench to tighten the screw (reference 7, image 2-3) with  
hammer nut (reference 8, image 2-3).  
Note: This corner bracket functions as a reference for the lter assembly. In case the lter assembly was retracted for a 2D  
projection it can easily be placed back in front of the projection lens by sliding the assembly against the corner bracket.  
5. Place the plastic cap (reference 9, image 2-3) upon the prole.

2.2 Adjustment the 3D polarization lters  
Why adjusting the 3D polarization lters?  
For optimal performance of the 3D polarization lters, the projected surface upon the polarization lters should be as big as possible  
without loss of content. The design of the 3D polarization assembly makes it possible to adjust the position of the lters in the X, Y  
and Z direction.  
This procedure assumes that the projected images of both stacked projectors are already aligned.  
Why adjusting the 3D polarization lters?  
1. Adjust the Y direction of the polarization lters until the center of the projected image matches the center of the polarization lter.  
Release the two knobs (reference 1, image 2-4) to reposition the assembly with polarization lters. It may be necessary to release  
the corner bracket (reference 2, image 2-4). Use a 4 mm Allen wrench to release the corner bracket.  
Tip:  
Once the Y direction is correctly aligned, install the corner bracket against the assembly with polarization lters. This  
corner bracket will function as a reference to reposition the polarization lters for 3D projection after they were retraced  
for 2D projection.

2. Adjust the height (Z direction) of each polarization lter until the center of the projected image matches the center of the polar-  
ization lter. Release the two wing nuts (reference 3, image 2-5) to reposition the polarization lter. Tighten the wing nuts when  
nished.

3. Adjust the X direction of the polarization lters, by sliding the upper frame away or towards the projection lenses, until the pro-  
jected surface upon the polarization lters is as big as possible without loss of content. Release the two wing screws (reference  
4, image 2-6) at both sides of the assembly to reposition the assembly. Tighten the wing screws when nished.

2.3 Cleaning the polarization lters  
When cleaning the polarization lters?  
Only clean the polarization lters in case it is really necessary. This means in case dust is clearly visible upon the surface of the  
polarization lters.  
WARNING: ISOPROPANOL ALCOHOL (200–661–7).  
Hazardous product. Irritating to eyes and skin. Always use in a well ventilated area. Vapors may cause drowsi-  
ness and dizziness. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with  
plenty of water and seek medical advise.  
CAUTION: ISOPROPANOL ALCOHOL (200–661–7).  
Hazardous product. Lightly ammable. Always use in a well ventilated area. Keep away from sources of  
ignitions. Do not smoke while working with isopropanol. Exclusive keep in original container tightly closed  
at a cool, well ventilated and reproof storage space.  
Necessary tools  
Compressed air.  
Clean TorayseeTM cloth.  
Clean cotton cloth.  
Demineralized water.  
Isopropanol alcohol.  
How to clean the polarization lters?  
1. Try to blow away the dust with compressed air.  
2. Is all dust removed from the polarization lters?  
If yes, stop this cleaning procedure.  
If no, wipe off the dust of the polarization lters. Use for that a clean TorayseeTM cloth.  
Caution: Always wipe in a single direction. Do not wipe back and forwards across the lter surface as this tends to grind dirt  
into the coating.  
Tip:  
Limit the number of wipe movements. This to protect the optical coating. It is better to wipe of the dust with one good  
wipe movement then with 10 soft wipe movements.  
3. Is all dust removed from the polarization lters?  
If yes, stop this cleaning procedure.  
If no, wipe off the dust of the polarization lters rst with a clean cotton cloth and demineralized water and than with a clean  
TorayseeTM cloth.  
Tip:  
Use isopropanol alcohol instead of demineralized water to remove ngerprints.  
Do not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coat pocket, as doing so can contaminate the cloth.  
If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears are the rst indication of a dirty cloth.

2.4 Enabling/Disabling the 3D polarization lters  
2D and 3D projection  
The design of the 3D polarization assembly makes it possible to retract the lters from the lenses for 2D projection. The lters can  
easily be placed back in their original position by sliding the lter assembly against the reference bracket.  
How to enable/disable the 3D polarization lters?  
1. Release the two knobs (reference 1, image 2-7) on top of the lter assembly.  
2. Slide the lter assembly away from the lenses for 2D projection or slide the lter assembly against the reference bracket (refer-  
ence 2, image 2-7) for 3D projection.  
3. Tighten the two knobs (reference 1, image 2-7) to secure the position of the lters.
