<TITLE>RE: [Chimera-users] Zalman 3D/stereo monitors</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>For stereo on the Mac I have been using the nvidia 4500 quadro card with a view sonic CRT, chimera with sequential stereo page flipped with an stereo graphics IR & glasses. In this scenario I was under the impression that the video page flip rate is 100-120Hz<BR>
<BR>
The new 3D LCDs (e.g., Zalman, Hyundai) create stereo through circular polarization that require passive glasses. But these monitors are working at no greater than 75hz.<BR>
<BR>
The bottom line question is: if I buy one of these units to replace my view sonic CRT, will it work on my Mac?<BR>
I get the impression reading the technical specs that it might only work with vista and directX.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks, Matt<BR>

The other obvious thing is that you need a newer version of Chimera than<BR>
the 1.3 production release. Just grab any of the daily builds from<BR>
www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/download.html. If you still have problems<BR>
after trying Conrad's suggestion come on down to GH-N456 and check the<BR>
graphics settings we are using with our Zalman 3D display.<BR>
