9.4.1 DVI-Mode
sinaCAM has a various number of digital monitor output possibilities at 60 Hz.
Available settings:
CAM1; CAM2; AltFrame; AltLine; Subtract; Anaglyph
9.4.1.1 CAM1
DVI monitor output of image from remote camera head 1
9.4.1.2 CAM2
DVI monitor output of image from remote camera head 2
9.4.1.3 AltFrame (Alternate Frame Sequencing)
Alternate frame sequencing is a method of transmitting a 3D signal via a standard DVI connection.
Images filmed with two remote camera heads are displayed in alternating order. The first left image is
followed by the corresponding right image, then the next left image followed by the next right image and
so on. This method requires LCD shutter glasses that can open and close the lenses for the left and right
eye in rapid succession.
9.4.1.4 AltLine (Alternate Line)
Another method of transmitting a 3D signal via a standard DVI connection. Line 1 is taken from the
image sent by camera head 1, line 2 from head 2, line 3 from head 1, line 4 from head 2 and so on. The
images from both camera heads are displayed at the same time, but each at half vertical resolution. This
method is optimal for line-alternating polarized displays together with appropriate passive 3D glasses.
9.4.1.5 Subtract
This mode is used for exact calibration of two camera heads in 3D mode by determining the focal point.
The image from camera head 1 is displayed in grayscale. The same goes for the image from camera head
2, however this time the colors are inverted. When an object is focused on exactly by both camera heads,
the object practically disappears on the monitor – all objects at approximately the same distance are then
displayed correctly (without double images).
