WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE

Replaceable Batteries

Average battery life is 250 to 300 operational hours. The batteries can be easily replaced by anyone with a special XpanD provided key.

Durability

XpanD X101 Series active glasses are rugged and flexible. The glasses were designed with flex points, which extend the lifetime of the glasses. In laboratory testing, the X101 glasses worked over 2500 shows, providing unbeatable costs per show.

 

Encrypted Communication
For better communication and to eliminate cross talk, XpanD’s X101 Series glasses operate via an encrypted IR signal.

 

Automatic "ON/OFF"
To ensure operation of the glasses at show time, to reduce theater operational interface and to better manage battery life, the X101 Series glasses turn "ON" and "OFF" automatically.

 

No Silver Screen
Standard white screens can be used for both 2D and 3D, thus eliminating unwanted hot spots created by 2D presentations on silver screens. With its focused light reflection back to the audience, a silver screen offers a narrower viewing angle as opposed to the lower gain matte screen which provides a much wider viewing angle, whereby it offers the same 3D experience to EVERY seat in the auditorium.

 

The Brightest 3D Solution
3D requires as much light as possible. XpanD X101 Series features the fastest shutter technology for the brightest image. The X101 Series efficiency rating has been increased to over 17%.

 

Longer Lamp Life
Due to X101 Series increased light efficiency, DC projectors can be set to their normal lamp settings as opposed to increased lamp output settings which is required by others. This increases lamp life by at least 50%.

 

Extended IR Range
Extended IR range supporting the largest Cinemas in the world.

 

Radio Communication
To further eliminate potential cross talk, XpanD X101 Series is designed to enable Radio communication between the glasses and emitters in future models.

 

The Highest Reliability in 3D Market
XpanD X101 Series components are built to work in extreme conditions, further endorsing XpanD’S long-standing achievement of having the highest 3D reliability.

 

Optimal 3D Experience
XpanD X101 Series prevents "IR black holes" in the theater by utilizing an optimal diode layout – making sure 100% of the viewers will have optimal 3D experience, regardless of their seat position.

 

100% DLP
XpanD X101 Series is optimized to work with both 0.98 inch and 1.2 inch DLP Cinema chips.

Active glasses

 

Environmentally Conscious – "Eco-Friendly"
The X101 Series glasses can be used longer than ever and the X101 Series emitters are using environmental friendly diodes endorsing XpanD’s continued commitment for "green technologies".

 

Even Faster Installation
With over a dozen 3D movies in 2009 and another 25 targeted in 2010, programming flexibly is critical. Moving the systems from a large auditorium to a smaller auditorium and vice versa is a daily practice that optimizes profits. To continue its commitment in reducing initial setup time, reduce theater staffing interaction, and long-term maintenance, XpanD X101 Series’ has been designed with unique features to meet those requirements.

 

EAS Security Tag System
XpanD X101 Series now includes a standard EAS anti-theft tag device. As an option, anti-theft panels will be available for purchase. Installation and power requirements must be provided by the exhibitor.

 

Ease of Distribution and Collection
To reduce the need for additional theater staffing and monitoring, XpanD has developed and made available (optional), a well designed utility cart (3D Trolley) for efficient distribution, collection and storage of the glasses.

 

The "Hottest" and Most Modular Design
XpanD X101 Series are simply the Hottest 3D Glasses in today’s marketplace. The distinctive modular design provides a comfortable fit for all sizes and also allows for marketing and sponsorship opportunities by the exhibitor to supplement overall gross income.

FAQ for XpanD X101

My glasses only work when upside down.

The glasses are working fine, what your watching isn't formatted correctly.  Go to the settings of your TV find the 3D options and change the 3D order from L-R to R-L or reverse the 3D signal, termenology will depend on your display manufacturer.  Currently there is no standards with media so some stuff will work out of the box, other media will require you to make this quick fix.  Only time will resolve this industry wide problem.

3D is giving me headaches and causing eyestrain - What can I do?

If you are experiencing eyestrain or headaches, it could be due to excessive depth amount or improper convergence setting.  Unfortunately, most full feature films such as 3D BluRay discs do not allow for depth adjustment.  However, PC based media playback and 3D Video games most always have an adjustment for the amount of depth (separation) and convergence (focal point of the in-to and out-of screen balance of the scene).

We recommend to first attempt to adjust the depth:

  • In-game adjustment, use the shortcut keys to decrease the depth amount.
  • If you are new to gaming, start at the default 15%.

We recommend to adjust the convergence if depth adjustment does not help:

  • In-Game Adjustment, use the shortcut keys to adjust the convergence point and push objects further away and into the screen.
  • Try various convergence points by adjusting the scene in-to or out-of the screen using the hot keys until a comfortable range is found.

Lastly, always consider that virtual stereoscopic viewing places additional fatigue on the muscles that control eye movements.  This fatigue will go away with time and is a matter of physical conditioning of your eye muscles.  People with faster visual tracking may be able to experience greated depth settings with more comfort than people with slower visual tracking.  A good example would be to compare the eyes of a two different professionals: the eyes of a NASCAR driver compared to the eyes a receptionist.  Generally speaking, the NASCAR driver will have more exercised and more conditioned eye muscles allowing them to track the motion of objects faster than the receptionist.  The NASCAR driver will most likely in all cases have a more pleasant experience than the receptionist when looking at virtual stereoscopic images for the first time.

 

Warning: If eyestrain and headaches persist, discontinue viewing in stereoscopic 3D mode and consult a physician.  Certain physical vision conditions or impairments may cause discomfort when viewing stereoscopic images on a 3D viewing device.  Certain physical health conditions may cause shutter-type 3D glasses to be more un-comfortable than polarized-type 3D glasses. 

How can I tell if my shutter glasses are working?

Due to the speed with which the glasses shutter (60 times/sec per eye) it is not possible to see the shuttering process with the naked eye. However, the glasses will appear darker when they are actively shuttering.

A simple way to determine if the glasses are working is to remove the 3-D sync signal. For wired glasses this simply involves removing the connector from the "3D Sync Out" port. For wireless glasses a simple method is to obscure the IR receiver in the center of the glasses. Once the 3-D sync signal is removed the glasses should transmit more light than when when the 3-D sync signal is present.

What 3D viewing distance do you suggest for my size of screen?

Suggested Viewing Distances for Various Sizes of Screens

  • For 22-30 inches diagonal  suggested viewing distance of 18-24 inches
  • For 57-73 inches diagonal  suggested viewing distance of 6-15 feet
  • For 80-120 inches diagonal  suggested viewing distance of 8-25 feet
  • For 30-50 feet diagonal  suggested viewing distance of 40-200 feet

What is an IR emitter?

An IR emitter is sold with wireless 3-D shutter glasses and essentially provides a method of transmitting the 3-D sync signal to the glasses by sending out an infra-red signal. The IR emitter should be connected to the VESA compliant 3D Sync Out port on the side of the TV. 

In special circumstances, an IR emitter may not be required for 3D DLP products even if it is stated as required in your 3D DLP product manual.  A specific example is that an IR emitter is NOT REQUIRED to use DLP Link 3D shutterglasses such as the Xpand X102 with any 3D DLP HDTV or Projector product.

Where can I buy compatible 3-D shutter glasses?

Compatible 3-D shutter glasses can be purchased from our TRU3D on-line store.  We currently offer many varieties of shutter glasses.

I have a Mit WD 65735 3D-ready HDTV and an emitter attached to the vesa port. I also have a new Panasonic 3D player xxx350 and 3D sample bluray dvd. My XpanD101 doesnt seem to work for some reason.

To Trouble-Shoot your 735 Series Mitsubishi 3D DLP, Panasonic 3D BluRay and XpanD X101 glasses, please do the following:

  • Check the batteries on your XpanD X101 glasses and make sure that they are not dead or dis-lodged.
  • Make sure that your Panasonic 3D BluRay player is connected to your Mitsubishi via HDMI 1.3a cable.
  • Write down which HDMI port you are connected to on your Mitsubishi 3D DLP HDTV.
  • Configure the Panasonic 3D BluRay player to output in 3D DLP Checkerboard mode NOT 120 Hz!
  • Use your Mitsubishi 3D DLP HDTV remote control to select the HDMI port on the HDTV that is connected to the Panasonic 3D BluRay player and change the input label/name to PC.  The Mitsubishi 3D DLP was not released with plug and play support for 3D BluRay players, they originally required a PC to be connected for 3D support and some models may not allow 3D viewing unless the input name is changed to PC within the TV configuration Menu.
  • After changing the 3D DLP HDMI input name on Mitsubishi to PC, activate 3D output on your 3D DLP HDTV
  • Begin standard playback steps of the 3D BluRay title that you have, put on your XpanD X101 and you should be up and running.
