About the 3D/Dual Channel Option
^Äçìí=íÜÉ=PaLaì~ä=`Ü~ååÉä=léíáçå
The ImagePRO-II’s 3D/Dual Channel option is a user-installable mezzanine that offers two
distinct but related capabilities:
• Dual-channel capability, to display a single video source on separate output
devices at different output resolutions
• Stereoscopic 3D (S3D) capability, to process single-stream or dual-stream 3D
video
This option adds an HD-SDI input and output (SDI-2) on the rear panel, with loop-through
on the input. These connectors can be used to support the ImagePRO-II’s dual-channel
and 3D capabilities, or as an additional video input and output in standard mode. With this
option installed, the Input 6 button on the front panel becomes operational and connects to
the SDI-2 input on the rear panel.
In addition, two miniDIN connectors (input and output) are provided for right eye/left eye
encoding in 3D mode.
With the 3D/Dual Channel mezzanine installed, four operating modes become available
when you select System > System Mode:
• Standard mode operates in the same single-scaler processing mode as the
standard ImagePRO-II, supporting resolutions up to 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz. You
can use this option to operate the ImagePRO-II as a single-channel processor,
using the SDI-2 connectors as an additional input and output.
• Dual-channel mode supports processing a single video source through two
scalers, to display the image at two different output resolutions. In dual-channel
mode, the maximum resolution is 2048x1200 @ 60 Hz per channel, with a
maximum input pixel clockclock rate of 165 MHz per channel.
The maximum logo resolution in dual-channel mode is 2048x1200.
For more information, refer to “Operating the ImagePRO-II in Dual-Channel
Mode” on page 106.
• 3D mode provides the option to:
~ Process single- or dual-stream S3D video inputs and outputs
~ Convert S3D sources to alternate S3D signal packing formats
For more information, refer to “Operating the ImagePRO-II in 3D Mode” on
page 114 of this chapter.
• MinDelay supports automatically mapping the output format to the input format
and locking it for minimal delay.

You can switch from one system mode to another. However, some settings may be lost in
the process. When you switch modes, a message similar to the one in the following
illustration appears.
