DSC Labs camera test makes it easy to detect errors in 3D

The 3-DZ test that the Canadian DSC Labs is launching these days in Las Vegas identifies production errors in stereographic environments, considerably reducing the possibility of potential vision problems by quickly detecting those adjustments or procedures that do not comply with stereoscopic standards.

The 3-DZ test that the Canadian DSC Labs (Booth C10215) released these days in Las Vegas identifies production errors in stereographic environments, considerably reducing the possibility of potential vision problems such as the uncomfortable feeling of dizziness when images from both eyes have alignment problems.

First announced, as a prototype, under the name “Pilot 3D Chart”, the 3-DZ quickly detects those adjustments or procedures that do not comply with stereoscopic standards and that cause so many inconveniences to the viewer.

The 3-DZ consists of five LED lights with adjustable brightness for working, even in daylight or in the studio, which helps simplify the setup of any 3D rig. The four corner LEDs provide basic alignment information, while the center LED is used to draw attention to errors in interocular distance and convergence.

Horizontal and vertical indices in increments of 100 help to specify and respect alignment. The center LED can be adjusted from flat to 305mm, detecting the adjustment of the X/Y axes and the distance to the Z plane.
