I have an Elsa Revelator infrared version. It was working fine for a few days - that was great. Later I tried getting it to work on Windows 2000 - and eventually managed it using NVidia drivers. For a few minutes the 3D test screen was working in 3D stereo. But ever since then, after a few more tests, the lenses only flicker randomly with no relation to the refresh of the monitor - in both Win 2000 and Win 98 (which was previously fine). Any ideas what's wrong? I've tried new batteries, avoiding interfering infrared sources, etc.... | ||

Unfortunately, that's the biggest unsolved issue in this forum. Solving flickering problem will be the most urgent issue, and I hope I have that answer too. | ||

Have you checked ELSA's FAQ on this yet? http://www2.elsa.de/internet/ElsaKnowhow.nsf/3068eff8d3f18a71412569eb0032db11/84035e85001a109b4125699d00532324?OpenDocument Christoph | ||

Is anybody heard anything related to AGP 4X setting will affect stablility of stereoscope in XP? I'm not telling you the fact but raising a question. There're many advice in this forum but nothing could heal my "ramdom flickering" problem. | ||

Most often it is just that the glasses are faulty. Unfortunately unless you have more than one pair you cannot test it out. | ||

This is problem with win2k sharing a single irq for multiple devices. The only way I found to get around it is to selectively disable devices to find the problem device. In my case it was the network card. I still get a flicker at long intervals so there may be more than one device responsible. With win2k its easy enough to enable the device when I`m not using the glasses | ||

I have had 2 Elsa Revelators both had the random flicker problem every few minutes but thats not that bad - the ghosting is worse - what did you expect for $20-$100, and it will happen even if your video card is not sharing a IRQ - and even if you have disabled tha plug and play monitor stuff on mine it seams to happen every 10-30 seconds and it dont bug me if its worse than that, there most likey is something wrong | ||

I'm afraid we have several Revelator/NVidia problems mixed up here... 1. very short 'white flashes' every 10-30 seconds. Got those, too, while everything else was fine, so I guess that's some system activity that occasionally blocks the stereo driver. Clipping pin 12 to the monitor doesn't help here. 2. DDC/PnP dialogue between PC and monitor. May vary from complete failure of the glasses (if the monitor pulls pin12 down) to occasional flashing of the glasses each time PC and monitor are chatting over DDC channel. Clipping VGA pin12 between Revelator dongle and monitor, possibly also disabling 'automatic detection of PnP monitor' in the monitor's properties, should cure this. 3. Conflicting IRQ handlers, that block the stereo driver. Symptoms would be flashing in tune with conflicting device's activity. 4. Irregular fast flicker of the (IR only, apparently) glasses. This is what I eventually got, too :-( e.g. like one glass (apparently mostly the left) staying dark and the other still kind of working, up to both flickering in no obvious relation to anything. This seems to be a problem of the IR eyewear alone, since I just had to swap the Revelator glasses for my good ol' Eyescream goggles (even used the same batteries!) to have perfect stereo vision again. Looks almost like the microcontroller inside the glasses has gone nuts and cannot recover. I tried to leave the batteries out for a day to get a power-on reset, but that didn't help either... | ||

My revelators (wireless) died about 2 weeks ago. I'm pretty sure they're gone now since the left eye piece flickers at random. The other eye works perfectly fine which is why I know its not the software. Too bad. I'm going to get a decent pair of glasses this time (unless anyone has a pair of wireless Revelator glasses they wanna sell cheap or know where I can get a replacement...) | ||

Revelator Problem.Do one one lens work.The other one flicker,go black or seems out of sync?I have 3 sets and they have done it.Its easy to fix.Its the connection on the top of the lens. |
