 |
|
I must change polarity every time I use my 3D Theater and RF glasses. Thought that the polarity change would be saved when first set?
Initially thought this was a "user error", but now I have tested this over several days ... change of polarity is not stored in the transmitter.
(The Theater-3D and transmitter are both connected to 5V DC).
Need help on this...

Assuming you are only using this on the same display device. If you run it on another then
you may have reverse polarity and have to reset polarity.
IF not, did you visually record how many LEDs were lit when things were set satisfactory?
For instance, 1.5 LEDS etc...
Is this happening with the same content, for instance the same 3D Bluray disk or does it reverse when playing
a different movie?
Is this happening when you view satellite or cable 3D content?
If so, they may be running reverse polarity relative to what you previously viewed.
Don't have enough info to give a better answer.
I'm guessing it's occurring when changing content.

Tested again today, and the polarity had to be changed each time I start the system. My source is TviX M-6500 and tested with Tangled and Hubble 3D (SBS).
Seems to me that the transmitter resets to an default "standard" polarity after a while in standby (the USB pwr adapter are always connected), as I had to use the duty cycle to get the polarity correct (4 red led)
(Also updated the converter from fw 1.1 to 1.3)
I will test this over more time period, but so far this starts to be anoying...

When you restart, are the LEDs still at the (4 red led) settings or something different?
I haven't used TviX, so I won't be much help with that.
Does it hold the current settings until you are finished viewing, or does it switch polarity again
in the middle of the content?
Do you have a 3D Blu-Ray to test for the same symptoms?
It's my understanding that VIP is trying to get the 1.1 version hardware out of circulation. I'll
check with Jonathan at VIP for you and see if that's still the case. Even so the converter shouldn't
interfere with your transmitter settings.
I leave my transmitter and VIP unpowered when not in use but the transmitter is still set at
previous use when restarted.

Hi,
Tested again today. Same movie as yesterday (Tangled SBS), and again I had to tweek the duty cycle to get the polarity to match the glasses.
Every day now, when starting the system for 3D, the polarity has to be tweeked first. The duty cycle are unchanged 4red led's, and I dont need to cycle all over to the "2red led-side" to get polarity ok, instead of just a little notch...."one cycle".
When first set ok, the polarity does not change during viewing....
I had to conclude: the transmitter does not store changes in memory!

So are you viewing Tangled from Tivix or Blu-Ray?
Do you have a 3D Blu-Ray to see if the same movie will not require tweaking?
Trying to see if this is a variance from different playback devices.
I have the Displayer so my sources are all 3D Blu-Ray and I don't need to tweak unless I switch
to a different video displayl.
If only the Tivix shows these symptons, I'm thinking there is a slight sync shift when the Tvix starts
up and you lose the previous calibration.
If it stays synced with one playback device and not another I don't believe there is a defect with
the transmitter.
There is also a utility for the glasses that may give you the transmitter settings. I have to check to
see if it can be posted publicly, otherwise will have to email it direct.

Here's a link to download the glasses utility. Download the firmware zip file and the update manual.
This will install the utility on a PC or laptop, maybe you can see if your transmitter settings are
disappearing after restart by monitoring the transmitter.
Hope this helps.

Thank you, I will try the utility and fw upgrade on the transmitter (and glasses).
I do not have bluray player, but will also test an OTA rental movie (3D SBS) from my HDTV provider, and then got this tested via the HDTV pvr..

There is no firmware upgrade at this time for the transmitter.
But the same utility allows you to peek and adjust the transmitter glasses setting.
Unfortunately, it doesn't save a file for different configurations. Mainly a readout and adjust.
If you could monitor the readout and see if those numbers change from a system restart that may
tell you whether the transmitter settings are wandering.

Installed and tweeked the transmitter via the Utility, and when all settings was verified and 3D was ok on the screen, saved the settings into the transmitter.
Tested 3D movies via HDTV OTA rental, and Bluray images from the Tvix, and all was fine....
When we started up for an new test, the settings was NOT saved on the transmitter!
Verified an snapshot from the Utility that my first saved settings was cleared by the transmitter after restart.
