<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>anyone out there, who has tried ParaView in combination with a 3d projector already?<br>
</p>
<p>Can you give me some information about the requirements and your experiences?</p>
<p>Any help, links and hints would be great.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am wondering what minimum hardware and software is required.</p>
<p>I would like to use a projector, which already supports active 3d shutter-glasses like the Sony VPL-HW65es (<a href="http://www.sony.co.uk/pro/product/vpl-hw65es/">http://www.sony.co.uk/pro/product/vpl-hw65es</a>).</p>
<p>The best web-page describing possible stereo-setups I found was <a href="http://cismm.cs.unc.edu/core-projects/visualization-and-analysis/setting-up-a-simple-stereo-system">
http://cismm.cs.unc.edu/core-projects/visualization-and-analysis/setting-up-a-simple-stereo-system</a>.</p>
<p>But it might be a bit outdated.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>--- quad-buffering required or not?<br>
</p>
<p>I read, that ParaView required support for quad-buffering if you want to use it on stereoscopic displays.</p>
<p>Is that true, or only true for stereo mode "Crystal Eyes"?</p>
<p>Because additionally I read, that ParaView has run with NVIDIA 3DTV on Geforce grafikcards, too, which have no quad-buffering support.</p>
<p>(... but the development of NVIDIA 3DTV has stopped with Windows 7 (<a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/3dtv-play-system-requirements.html">http://www.nvidia.com/object/3dtv-play-system-requirements.html</a>) )<br>
</p>
<p>This seems to work, if stereo mode is set for example to "Checkerboard".</p>
<p>Hence, I wonder why there is no quad-buffering required for this setup.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>--- stereo-ParaView on Windows 8+ connected to a 3d projector?<br>
</p>
<p>Is NVIDIA 3D Vision Pro still required to be able to send the stereoscopic view to a 3d projector on Windows 8+?</p>
<p>Windows 8+ has native support for stereoscopic displays (<a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn653361%28v=vs.85%29.aspx">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn653361%28v=vs.85%29.aspx</a>).</p>
<p>Does that mean, that the 3d projector has to be recognised as a stereoscopic display by Windows</p>
<p>and can ParaView then send its 3D view to the 3d projector via HDMI 1.4a+?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>--- stereo-ParaView on Linux connected to a 3d projector?<br>
</p>
<p>What would I need beside an NVIDIA Quadro to use this under Linux?<br>
</p>
<p>Or can I use a non-Quadro card with a ParaView stereo-mode other than "Crystal Eyes"?
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>--- stereo-ParaView on Mac connected to a 3d projector?<br>
</p>
<p>...?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Sorry, lots of questions.</p>
<p>I hope you can give me any help, links or hints on that.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Jens</p>
