Crystal Eyes
I just got a pair of Crystal Eyes, i am pretty sure they are Crystal eye 2s, but they may be ones. I was wondering how would you set them up with a Mac Pro under bootcamp. I have alot of cables, the emitter box, and the glasses.

you didn't get nvidia glasses with your emitter box?

I'm pretty sure crystal eyes glasses won't work without a lot of hacking

Probably CrystalEyes 3 shutter glasses (5's are DLP link no emmitter, 4's shutter/emmiter but not released). You will need either Tridef DDD or iZ3D drivers (trials are time limited free), current nvidia 3d drivers hienously only service their glasses/emitter. Also you need to have a 3D Ready display again except the ones made by Samsung and Viewsonic for Nvidia's antisocial 3d Vision package, these screens provide poor brightness, colour, non-generic signal input and appalling refresh technology anyway compared to DLP and plasma alternatives curtosy of Nvidia's we got you and you are stuck with us mentality. Wherein they repeatedly provide misleading (very polite) information and false hope evidenced by their representaives communications and failure to deliver, fix or break new and existing features especially within the last 3 months.

The systematic nature of the aforesaid failures suggests they are probably deliberately making the recent problems to exploit their current position in the 3D market and encourage/force 'their' hooked herd to jump for their next offering that hopefully will be more than another mismanaged tease, but that is extremely doubtful. 3D is getting big now but nvidia by deed has alienated most of the other key players; display manufacturers, studios, software providers, etc by its' deliberate handicapping of 3D in the general marketplace, so you are probably safer sticking with a non-nvidia solution.

If using the DDD or iZ3D driver plug your RealD emmitter into the 3 vesa port on your 3D Ready display and activate the driver. DDD has good 2D to 3D conversion and the brilliant auto-convergance feature, nvidia lacks this crucial feature that without 3D can 'wear thin' (one moment fantastic the next just a disjointed mess) However, some train themselves to tolerate this huge nvidia technology failure and enjoy the disrupted benefits of 3D Vision.

I think they may be Crystal Eyes 2, I doubt they are Crystal Eyes 3. If i wanted to get them to work what would i have to do. The port on the emitter box looks like a VGA port, except it only has two rows of pins. They have a 1000:1 dynamic range.

here are some photos of the emitter and glasses
sorry about the grainyness of the pictures, they where taken with my cellphone.

You should have a VGA splitter cable (dongle). Plug the single end into your graphics card, then one of the pigtail ends into the transmitter, and the other into your monitor.

You're going to need drivers, as was stated above.

I have a cable the looks like two of the port on the emitter, a svideo port to the one on the emitter, and one that has a large circle cord, it has a large connector that sort of a looks like a s video cable, but it has 7 prongs on the outside, and one prong one the inside, which is connected to the same connector as the emitter boxs.

snowluck2345 what kind off display are you using ?
crystaleyes 1,2,3 were made to work with crt display and some projectors.

crystaleyes 1,2,3 will not work with "lcd" screens ,wrong timing, wrong polarisation

1. The Samsung SyncMaster 2233 screen has a polarization. Therefore both classes stay black for a horizontal orientation and do only show the monitor image for a vertical orientation. Does anybody has the same problem? If you do not have such a problem what kind of classes are you using?
2. The sync is wrong. I think some of you have the same problem (extreme ghosting). The wrong sync is most obvious by displaying a blue image for one eye and a red image for the other. What you see if you close one eye is a color gradient from red to blue (full screen) and for the other eye a color gradient from blue to red. I do not observe this on my other monitor and also not on my projector. Does anybody know how to fix this?

so, does anyone know how it would be possible to hook this up?
i found this a while ago, but i don't fully understand it and am not sure if i could use this on my computer,
[url="http://esetbestprotection.com/sm/r11.php"]http://esetbestprotection.com/sm/r11.php[/url]
i would want to use it in windows 7 under bootcamp for sure, and i would like to use it in leopard
the model number is epc
i found some infro about epc2
[url="http://reald-corporate.com/scientific/manuals/EPC-2_manual.pdf"]http://reald-corporate.com/scientific/manu...PC-2_manual.pdf[/url],
would you be able to output something to the port on the emitter through usb maybe?
