1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,519
a bit of a behind the scenes look at uh

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:11,080
the triple projector uh 3D Vision

3
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:15,599
surround setup that I've got going here now a lot of you guys in the MC Tech

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:21,240
tips episode I produced recently complained um with where I did the five

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,199
way 5x1 ifinity setup we're like oh well

6
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:27,160
there's too many bezels well here's your solution see right now you can see the

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:33,160
get the the setup is very ghetto like I've got racks with projectors on them

8
00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:37,960
and then I've got basically a big white wall that I'm using to uh to fire the

9
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:42,920
mat so I'm still going through the driver setup of getting NVIDIA 3D Vision

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:47,640
surround going but uh I mean just for scale those are speakers that's a

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:52,879
printer box so that's that's like a laser printer box that's how big this

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,800
display is so uh stay tuned you guys I'm going to do sort of a few more in

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,600
progress shots probably here and then I'll upload this you can see the screens

14
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:04,920
aren't aligned just right yet I still got some work to do but we're getting

15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,200
there got my G25 racing wheel over here

16
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,840
somewhere yeah got that going going to be

17
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,720
good all right guys here's another in progress so you can see I still don't

18
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:21,200
really have the screens lined up here's my test rig though and uh here we go if

19
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:24,560
I go into the NVIDIA control panel you can see man I got to zoom in so far just

20
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,880
to even see the screen I've got span displays with surround I had to

21
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:33,720
configure it so that they'd be in the right order but I have managed to get that figured out so my desktop starts on

22
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:38,320
the left moves to the right and then ends at the very far right okay so

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:44,040
that's done uh what I have also managed to get set up is the screen resolution

24
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:48,079
so the resolution we're running at is

25
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:52,640
3840 by 720 so this is basically 3 *

26
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:54,960
720p now 720p is not a big resolution in

27
00:01:52,640 --> 00:02:04,600
terms of uh requiring Graphics horsepower to back it up but 3x 720P

28
00:02:00,759 --> 00:02:06,920
basically works out to 2.7 million

29
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:11,920
pixels so if we compare that to some other common resolutions like let's take

30
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:19,080
1920 by 1080 which is only about 2 million

31
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:23,239
pixels basically or let's take uh like

32
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:25,319
2560 by 1600 so that's about 4 million

33
00:02:23,239 --> 00:02:30,760
pixels so we're somewhere in between running 1080P and running like HD plus

34
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:34,239
uh 30-in monitor resolution here in terms of the horsepower required now

35
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:39,280
bear in mind too that we are going to be running NVIDIA 3D Vision here's my 3D

36
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:43,239
Vision glasses so that adds some extra burden on the graphics card as well so

37
00:02:40,959 --> 00:02:47,680
you actually are running at an HD Plus resolution with 3D Vision so you're

38
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:54,480
going to need some serious horsepower such as say for example a GTX 590 which

39
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:59,480
supports 3D Vision surround natively on a single card and uh yeah so I'm going

40
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:05,400
to just do some more work here and then I'll be able to break out like the flight stick and the uh and the wheel so

41
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:10,879
almost ready to go I got just got to line things up a little bit better as well cuz that'll that'll be kind of

42
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:15,120
distracting during games so I've pretty much got it set up at this point there's

43
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:20,239
one of my co-workers uh playing around in Battlefield Bad Company too so look

44
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:24,720
look there's a person for scale that's how big that image is uh evidently he's

45
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:30,400
also not very good at Bad Company 2 cuz he's like dying already uh use your

46
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:34,480
grenade launcher Mouse wheel down there you go fire that at the truck

47
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:39,200
there you go anyway um so yeah yeah we're getting pretty close to being able

48
00:03:35,959 --> 00:03:40,599
to shoot this episode of tech tips and

49
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,040
what I may actually do is wait till it gets a little bit darker outside cuz

50
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:50,360
this isn't really an ideal room for a projector setup but thank you for

51
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:54,040
checking out my preview of the 3D Vision

52
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,599
surround projector episode of NCIX Tech

00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:01,159
