Hi,
I need concrete names and types of monitors, glasses and cards to work with
quad buffered stereo technology.
I know that it can be ATI FireGL or Nvidia Quadro cards.
But I whant know names of monitors which will work with them.
I saw some information on
nvidia site in 3d-vision-pro-requirements theme.
Careful here. Nvidia's 3D Vision and quadbuffer stereo are two unrelated
technologies. Thus the requirements posted for 3D Vision are not the
same as for regular frame sequential stereo, such as the one produced by
a Quadro or some FireGL card.
Strictly speaking, anything that is certified to work with 3D Vision
with work with an Nvidia Quadro. It will probably not work with a FireGL
card, because the infrared/radio emitter for the 3D Vision glasses needs
firmware uploaded and that comes only with the Nvidia drivers.
But it is not enough - only Mitsubishi HDTV. Can it be Panasonic TX-PR42UT30
for example ? Moreover I cant find out about types of HDTV which will work for
ATI with quad buffered stereo technology.
And how must I choose glasses - for card or for monitor ?
Can anyone help ?
It depends on what you want. If you are going to use 3D Vision with a
Quadro, then *you must* buy equipment that is certified to work with it.
Otherwise the driver will not enable stereo. Ridiculous, but that is how
Nvidia has designed it.
If you are going to use "plain old quadbuffer", you can use anything
that can synchronize via the VESA mini-DIN plug at the back of the card.
You would typically plug in something like an emitter for the
CrystalEyes shutter glasses there. There are no strict requirements for
the screen, but typically you will want something that can do at least
120Hz vertical refresh (most LCD TVs are way too slow for it, also
LCD-based projectors are not good - go DLP).
Alternatively, it is supposedly possible to send the frame-sequential
stereo over a HDMI or DisplayPort plug, which may be better compatible
with a TV. Then you use whichever glasses are designed to work with your
TV/projector.

Jan
