DJ Krime im a little confused as i thought the image for passive is 2x 540 alternate lines,with the glasses each picking up 540 lines per eye. I always thought stereoscopic and active shutter were the same thing as the eyes see seperate images. Doesn't really matter, i just wondered how a standard Cinema based projector achieves the passive image with only a blank screen to shine on.
The passive image on LG's LCDs is 2x540 but from what I understand the Runco uses 2 projectors to deliver a full 1080p image for each eye and passive glasses simular to what youre used to in the cinema, so no flicker like active shutter or loss or resolution like LGs LCDs. As for the type of screen needed I would have thought you need a special screen type designed for this type of projection which would more than likely be expensive but seeing as the Runco is £40k I think those who can afford it would not be worried about the price.
Here is a pic of the Beast and some blurb about how it works
"Offering 3D done right, Runco is the only display manufacturer to offer a 3D solution is based on proprietary
CSV™ (Constant Stereoscopic Video) architecture. Runco CSV is a vastly-superior approach to 3D visualization that enables seamless decoding, syncing and merging of stereo images and delivers a constant HD image to each eye without the flicker, distortion, or discomfort inherent in other approaches. Runco CSV utilizes unique passive-glasses technology, which is proven to be superior for the viewer and is usually only available in the finest public theaters.
Further, Runco is the first home theater brand to license RealD ‘s Processing Package, which is used in Runco's 3Dimension Processor that is paired with the company's D-73 projector. The RealD Processing Package includes multiple proprietary technologies for the delivery and display of high-definition 3D content, for a high-quality 3D display experience in the home.Also incredibly important when choosing a 3D display, the Runco 3Dimension Series will deliver both a spectacular 2D and 3D viewing experience with zero compromise.
Runco’s 3Dimension Series pair passive glasses with a design unique to Runco formulated for precise stereo separation, called PreciseLight™. Runco’s passive glasses are not like current 3D TV glasses, which are based on “active” LCD shutter-glass technology and have inherent design challenges. Active glasses are bulky and expensive because they include electronics. And, because active glasses have LCDs in each lens, and turn black every other frame (or more frequently), active glasses need a transmitter that is synced to the frame rate. If you are out of range of the transmitter, low on batteries, have multiple TVs in a single room, or have any obstructions, the image may stutter or simply not work"
