00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.519
a bit of a behind the scenes look at uh

00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:11.080
the triple projector uh 3D Vision

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

00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:21.240
tips episode I produced recently complained um with where I did the five

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:23.199
way 5x1 ifinity setup we're like oh well

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

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:33.160
get the the setup is very ghetto like I've got racks with projectors on them

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

00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:42.920
mat so I'm still going through the driver setup of getting NVIDIA 3D Vision

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:47.640
surround going but uh I mean just for scale those are speakers that's a

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

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

00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:59.600
progress shots probably here and then I'll upload this you can see the screens

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

00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:07.200
there got my G25 racing wheel over here

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:11.840
somewhere yeah got that going going to be

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

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

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

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:27.880
to even see the screen I've got span displays with surround I had to

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

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:38.320
the left moves to the right and then ends at the very far right okay so

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

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:48.079
so the resolution we're running at is

00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:52.640
3840 by 720 so this is basically 3 *

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:54.960
720p now 720p is not a big resolution in

00:01:52.640 --> 00:02:04.600
terms of uh requiring Graphics horsepower to back it up but 3x 720P

00:02:00.759 --> 00:02:06.920
basically works out to 2.7 million

00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:11.920
pixels so if we compare that to some other common resolutions like let's take

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:19.080
1920 by 1080 which is only about 2 million

00:02:15.720 --> 00:02:23.239
pixels basically or let's take uh like

00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:25.319
2560 by 1600 so that's about 4 million

00:02:23.239 --> 00:02:30.760
pixels so we're somewhere in between running 1080P and running like HD plus

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:34.239
uh 30-in monitor resolution here in terms of the horsepower required now

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

00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:43.239
Vision glasses so that adds some extra burden on the graphics card as well so

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:47.680
you actually are running at an HD Plus resolution with 3D Vision so you're

00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:54.480
going to need some serious horsepower such as say for example a GTX 590 which

00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:59.480
supports 3D Vision surround natively on a single card and uh yeah so I'm going

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

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

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

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:20.239
one of my co-workers uh playing around in Battlefield Bad Company too so look

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

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

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:34.480
grenade launcher Mouse wheel down there you go fire that at the truck

00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:39.200
there you go anyway um so yeah yeah we're getting pretty close to being able

00:03:35.959 --> 00:03:40.599
to shoot this episode of tech tips and

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:45.040
what I may actually do is wait till it gets a little bit darker outside cuz

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:50.360
this isn't really an ideal room for a projector setup but thank you for

00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:54.040
checking out my preview of the 3D Vision

00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:55.599
surround projector episode of NCIX Tech
