Make A Field Sequential 3d Video

Field sequential 3D was a very popular technology during the time of standard-definition interlaced video. An interlaced screen displays half of an image at a time, flipping between odd and even rows very quickly. 3D systems took advantage of this to show two complete images, one for the left eye and one for the right eye. By synchronizing a pair of active-shutter glasses with the picture, field sequential systems could display a full-color 3D image by blanking out each eye in conjunction with which eye's image was being shown.


Instructions


1. Screw a properly sized adapter onto the adapter threads located around the camcorder's lens.


2. Attach the Nu-View to the adapter by screwing it in.


3. Use the included screws to attach the Nu-View's stabilizing rail to the bottom of the Nu-View adapter and to the camera's tripod socket.


4. Insert the phono plug on the Nu-View's connection cable into the camcorder's video out jack. Insert the other end of the cable into the jack on the Nu-View. If the camcorder lacks a standard composite video output and instead has a 1/8 inch multi-jack, use the camera's video-out cable. Place its 1/8 inch plug in the camera's video out jack and connect the yellow composite video connection to the Nu-View's input.


5. Turn the Nu-View on by setting its "On/Off" switch to the "On" position


6. Record the 3D video through the camcorder as if it was regular 2D video. Adjust the Nu-View adapter's "Convergence Control" to determine how much of the 3D effect takes place inside the screen and how much of the effect comes out of the screen.
