RealD (Stereographics) E2SGI emitter on Quadro 3450?

Hi all, Anyone know if it's possible to use a RealD (Stereographics) E2SGI emitter on Quadro hardware? Thanks, Sabuj Pattanayek

Hi, Not with the normal cable. I haven't checked the voltage or polarity of the sync signal output on the Quadro VESA stereo sync connector, but I do know that at the very least it's not pin-compatible with the old emitters. The old emitters could be made to work with various machines with adapter cables, but all of the old SGI/Sun/HP workstations I used had compatible sync signals from the point of view of peak-to-peak voltage, and so on. We have various old E2SGI emitters, some EPROs, an ENT (VESA) and while I've used the EPROs on almost all of the commercial Unix workstations, I've only ever used the ENT on the PC/Mac graphics boards like the Quadro. The ReadlD (stereographics) site may have pinouts and specs for the VESA stereo outputs, but you may have to do a bit of digging to figure out if that can be made to work with the E2SGI emitters.
