Does anyone know of a web site where I can download a 3D video clip for my elsa revelator glasses? I've never seen one. |

The main trouble with ELSA relevator is the proprietary solution for givng commnds to the glasses. The result is, that it is incompatible with a lot of thing. You can make an hombrew min-DIN3 conector to connect the glasses with the pararel or serial port and make it compatible with Winx3D library. You can then use an watch movies + use software described on my www: http://staff.vscht.cz/~husakm/ Description of the pararel to DIN-3 conector given by David Qualman folows: Yes, it seems possible to build such an adapter. For the 3D-SPEX driver, I raise all data lines on the parallel port high, except for the control line. This is data bit 2, or pin 4 of the parallel port. You could wire this pin 4 to be the eye controller of a VESA connector. I don't think that a single bit on the parallel port could provide enough current to drive the glasses, since each can only provide 3 mA. The remaining 7 pins could give a total of 21 mA, which may be enough. Don't just tie the 7 wires together however, or you may end up shorting something out. My recommendation is to use a power supply, or a wall brick, instead of using the parallel port, for power.. |

Triggering glasses over the parallel or serial port yields the same problems as the Revelator trigger, i.e. software incompatibility, IRQ-conflicts, CPU-overhead. The only recommended homebrew controllers are VGA-pass-throughs! Christoph |
