Special Functions for Professional 3D Video Production Xpol®*1 Polarizing Filter and 3D Polarized Eyewear for 3D Monitoring The Xpol®*1 polarizing filter, which arranges micro-polarizers in a precise array, is bonded to the front surface of the LCD panel. This allows the viewing of 3D images*2 recorded by the line-byline method using 3D Polarized Eyewear. Two pairs of 3D Polarized Eyewear are supplied with the product. Additional 3D Polarized Eyewear (BT-PGL10G) are available as options. *1: Xpol® is a registered trademark of Arisawa Mfg. Co., Ltd. *2: Due to the characteristics of the Xpol®*1 polarizing filter, it is necessary to view 3D images from a position perpendicular to the LCD panel surface in order to properly perceive 3D effects. picture simulated Three 3D Video Input Systems Supported (Simultaneous, Line-by-Line and Side-by-Side) The BT-3DL2550 supports three 3D video input systems: simultaneous, line-by-line and side-by-side. It allows 3D images to be viewed from a line-by-line signal source. It accepts the output from the AG-3DA1 Integrated Twin-Lens 3D Camera Recorder and from existing 3D camera systems such as rig-type 3D camera systems as well as 3DTV broadcast signals, thus meeting virtually all production, editing and transmission needs. • Simultaneous: Outputs left- and right-eye images through separate SDI lines. This system transmits FULL HD 3D video signals. • Line-by-line: Allocates left- and right-eye images to odd-numbered lines and even-numbered lines. Conventional equipment for 2D video can be used with this signal type. • Side-by-side: Splits the screen into left and right halves, and then combines the left and right images for viewing. This system is used mainly for 3DTV broadcasts.

The following display/ adjustment functions support lens axis adjustment and color matching when receiving simultaneous dual HD SDI inputs from a rig-type 3D camera system. This allows the BT-3DL2550 to respond widely to professional 3D production needs. uDisplay Selection: The screen display can be switched to normal 3D image display (line-by-line), overlay display, singlechannel (Left/Right) display or comparison display. • Overlay Display: Displays left- and right-eye images together. • Single Channel Display: Displays left- or right-eye images. • Comparison Display: Displays left- and right-eye images next to each other.* This display mode is suitable for color matching and gradation adjustment for left-eye and right-eye cameras. uHalf Mirror Function: Inverts the right-eye image signal to flip the displayed image in the horizontal direction. This allows the 3D viewing of video input from a mirror type 3D camera system. uH Shift Function: Shifts the image of one channel in the leftright direction while showing an overlay display. This function is convenient for lens axis adjustment. * The two screen images are the same in size and have an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Marker function cannot be used in this mode.
