Hi!
Check out Stereovision.net for the latest information about Stereoscopic support on all NVIDIA based graphics cards in the latest NVIDIA 7.17 drivers. Fully functional real 3D support in OpenGL!
There is information on how to install it and get it to run on the Elsa 3D Revelator or Asus VR-100 glasses, more about the settings that can be tweaked, hardware and software compatibility and even some benchmarks.
Here is a snip from the article:
------------------------------
The NVIDIA stereo OpenGL driver is based on Elsa's, since they use the same registry options and even the same values and most of the functions available in the Elsa driver is there in the one from NVIDIA. Fortunately, the driver has been updated a lot, but still has to be worked on to be a decent stereoscopic driver. The laser sight will be very useful and the game configurations are a must for quality stereo gaming, but the most difficult issue is the raw speed.

Bye!

Hi ToxicX

If I catch your article, it is an OpenGl
wraper adding stereo to anything in OpenGl
and not a standard OpenGL implementation
(the PFD_STEREO things ...) ..
Are there any indication that the
standard OpenGL mode common for profesional
application will work ?

Another question...will the NVIDIA 7.17 driver
support stereo glasses in OpenGL in windowed mode
or only in Full Screen mode?

Michal, as the article says, it's the old Elsa stereo "game" driver and this early beta has no indication of proper OpenGL support, but their Quadro based "pro" cards will support real opengl stereo soon...

No windowed support now, but the old elsa d3d does support it and the same programmers made the new opengl so chances are it will be there, unless they are too lazy...

Hi Mariella

I'm experimenting with a similar setup: Two Canon MV3I MiniDV cameras mounted side by side.

How do you tackle problems such as synchronisation of zoom and start/stop. I've looked into LANC control, but there doesen't seem to be any devices available able to genlock two cameras. The first thing I'll try is using the remote control on both cameras. But if you have any solution, I'd like to hear it.

I plan on joining the two streams together in Adobe Premiere. I found an old post on DejaNews about the topic. I've tried to re-find it, but it seems to be lost, so I've pasted my own saved version in below.

Michal, does your page say anything about joining streams from separate cameras? As far as I can see, it focuses on converting interlaced stereo video to above-below format.

Alex

There is a transition called Cube Roll or something like it which will do this. It compresses one source off to the left of the screen while expanding the 2nd source on from the right.

Put your 1st source on Video A track, 2nd on Video B track. Put the cube roll transition in the middle. Stretch the transition to the length of the video clips. Double click the transition, set the start and end values to 50%. When you render this you should get a "half way" transition with what you are looking for.

Try popping both video sources onto the overlay video tracks, go into the motion settings. reset all the movements to 0 and then grab the corners of the frame and bring them to the center.(do it to the beggining and the end or you will get the gradual compressing of the picture{which you may want}). Do the same with the other video clip, except pull the other sides to the center.
You may have to throw some transparancy on the top video track, try luminance.

The FX-TwoAB.pff transition described on my WWW
can convert source from 2 cameras to
one above/below movie.

The FX-TwoInterlaced.pff described on my WWW
can convert source from 2 cameras to
one interlaced stereoscopic movie.

If you have trouble to find the info on the
WWW , the chapter numbers are
3.2.2
3.3.3
The Premiere must work in NoFields mode
to get proper results.

A new option in the Stereo OpenGL from NVIDIA:

glSetWindowStereoModeNV

Maybe more documentation about this will become available when the next driver is released.
