Author Topic: Master image's Wave3D Joe Elliott Master Film Handler Posts: 497 From: Port Orange, Fl USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 03-08-2013 07:51 PM                     At an installation a while back I installed a Master Image Wave3D unit. I found the 3D very good. It looked as clear as Dolby's 3D, but uses the regular disposable MI glasses. I really liked it. It has what looks like a polorizer, however, I did not see an strobe in the image reflection to indicate that it was polorizing. According to MI web site it is a "Passive LC polarization", so it must be polorizing it. Anyone else had a look at it, or know any info on it, like light loss?  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-09-2013 07:57 AM                     First look, and I'm guessing this is the same principle as a Real-D Z-Screen.  |  IP: Logged Joe Elliott Master Film Handler Posts: 497 From: Port Orange, Fl USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 03-21-2013 11:51 PM                     Yes, but no bleed over between eyes. I'm wondering what MI did differently.  |  IP: Logged Mohd Ridzuan Film Handler Posts: 25 From: K.L , Malaysia Registered: Jul 2012 posted 06-27-2013 11:16 PM                     Hi All Recently i had installed 1 unit of Master Image Wave 3D to DSS200 n Christie projector.

I install MI Wave set to automate from projector sync. In other words, the projector is in 3D -> the MI Wave moves into position and starts. Projector in 2D -> MI Wave moves out of position and stops. Joe, you can just see an optical 'twitch' with glasses when the screen starts polarising. This is one of the tests the MI guys use to determine if it's working at all when an installer is having problems.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-28-2013 01:02 PM                     There is a little bit of ghosting as compared to the MasterImage Clarity system, but it is a good economical solution and better than the other 3D alternatives. What is nice is that this system works with anamorphics! (Must be post-anamorphic.)  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!
