Turning the 3D glasses on or off, Using 3D Cinema Technology

Page 29 highlights

Turning the 3D glasses on or off ● The 3D glasses turn on and off automatically. There is no on or off switch. ● When 3D content begins to play, the glasses detect an IR signal from the computer and turn on automatically. ● Once the 3D content begins to play, the lenses may appear to darken and you may see some flickering as the glasses begin to turn on. ● The battery installed in the glasses provides approximately 150 hours of 3D viewing time. To help conserve battery power, the glasses enter Standby if no IR signal is detected for 5 seconds. Using 3D Cinema Technology After you set up your 3D computer, you are ready to verify that you can properly view the 3D content. NOTE: Be sure that your computer is connected to AC power when you view 3D content. 3D playback on the computer display requires a high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU). NOTE: The stereoscopic 3D effect works best in a darkened room. For optimal 3D viewing, the screen brightness controls are disabled when watching 3D content. NOTE: When watching 3D media, be sure that the keyboard backlight is turned off. 1. To access 3D content, do one of the following: ● Double-click the 3D demo icon on the computer desktop, and select a 3D clip from the menu. ● Insert a Blu-ray Disc 3D movie (purchased separately) into the slot-load optical drive on the computer, and follow the on-screen instructions. NOTE: Insert the disc into the optical drive until it clicks into place. To eject the disc, press the optical drive eject action key (f10). 2. Put on your 3D glasses. If adjustment is needed, use the nose pieces that are provided. 3. The 3D glasses turn on automatically when the 3D content begins to play and the infrared (IR) signal is detected. Your lenses may darken, or you may see flickering while the glasses start operation. If you can see clearly in 3D, the setup is complete and you can begin viewing 3D cinema content. NOTE: Differences in the frequencies at which the lighting in your room and 3D Cinema Technology operate may cause flickering or interfere with the operation of the glasses. Resolve this issue by dimming or turning off the lights. WARNING! If you still cannot see 3D content, remove the 3D glasses and stop using 3D Cinema Technology. Read the 3D safety information on page 14, and consult a physician if you suspect a physical problem seeing stereoscopic 3D. 18 Chapter 2 Using HP 3D Cinema Technology

Turning the 3D glasses on or off
The 3D glasses turn on and off automatically. There is no on or off switch.
When 3D content begins to play, the glasses detect an IR signal from the computer and turn on
automatically.
Once the 3D content begins to play, the lenses may appear to darken and you may see some
flickering as the glasses begin to turn on.
The battery installed in the glasses provides approximately 150 hours of 3D viewing time. To
help conserve battery power, the glasses enter Standby if no IR signal is detected for 5 seconds.
Using 3D Cinema Technology
After you set up your 3D computer, you are ready to verify that you can properly view the 3D content.
NOTE:
Be sure that your computer is connected to AC power when you view 3D content. 3D
playback on the computer display requires a high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU).
NOTE:
The stereoscopic 3D effect works best in a darkened room. For optimal 3D viewing, the
screen brightness controls are disabled when watching 3D content.
NOTE:
When watching 3D media, be sure that the keyboard backlight is turned off.
1.
To access 3D content, do one of the following:
Double-click the 3D demo icon on the computer desktop, and select a 3D clip from the
menu.
Insert a Blu-ray Disc 3D movie (purchased separately) into the slot-load optical drive on the
computer, and follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE:
Insert the disc into the optical drive until it clicks into place. To eject the disc, press
the
optical drive eject
action key (
f10
).
2.
Put on your 3D glasses. If adjustment is needed, use the nose pieces that are provided.
3.
The 3D glasses turn on automatically when the 3D content begins to play and the infrared (IR)
signal is detected. Your lenses may darken, or you may see flickering while the glasses start
operation.
If you can see clearly in 3D, the setup is complete and you can begin viewing 3D cinema
content.
NOTE:
Differences in the frequencies at which the lighting in your room and 3D Cinema
Technology operate may cause flickering or interfere with the operation of the glasses. Resolve
this issue by dimming or turning off the lights.
WARNING!
If you still cannot see 3D content, remove the 3D glasses and stop using 3D
Cinema Technology. Read the
3D safety information
on page

, and consult a physician if you
suspect a physical problem seeing stereoscopic 3D.
