3D Stereo Media

Passive stereo projection (using polarised glasses) is possible from Delta Duo, Nucleus or Infinity servers, since for passive stereo, you need 2 projectors, 2 unique video feeds and movies: one left eye movie and one right eye movie.

Active Stereo (using shutter glasses) is possible from Delta Nucleus or Delta Infinity servers, having the active stereo capable outputs and 3D Sync output necessary to sync external IR or RF emitters, which remotely trigger the shutter glasses.

For both types of system configuration, the media is usually supplied as separate left eye and right eye movies, in any of the movie formats listed above. The stereo separation is encoded directly into each movie and the server simply plays back to the relevant display (e.g. 2 outputs to 2 passive stereo projectors) or interleaved in time (e.g. 1 output to 1 active stereo projector).

Delta can also take combined movie files, in which the left eye and right eye content is placed in a single movie, in a side-by-side or top/bottom configuration. So, for example, standard 1920 × 1080 left and right movies are usually supplied as separate movie files, but they can also be supplied as a single movie of 3840 × 1080 where the left half is left eye, the right half is right eye (side by side format) or 1920 × 2160 (top/bottom format).
