Real-time conversion License
The Dimenco Rendering Core Premium enables real-time conversion of stereo (3D with glasses) content to play on autostereoscopic (no-glasses 3D) displays. The Dimenco Rendering Core Premium is also capable of rendering 2D-plus-Depth content, just as the standard Dimenco Rendering Core. The Dimenco Rendering Core Premium is integrated with all Dimenco 42″ and 55″ non-glasses 3D displays. By default it works with 2D-plus-Depth based content, while the real-time stereo to autostereo conversion can be enabled via this license mechanism. Possible applications are real-time conversion of stereo camera input to glasses-free 3D, conversion from medical devices such as endoscopes, playback of stereo content from your computer (e.g. from YouTube or (unencrypted) Blu-ray discs), and of course playback of 2D-plus-Depth format. In the near future, the Rendering Core Premium will also support conversion from encrypted sources, such as set-top-boxes, game consoles and Blu-ray players. Regular updates will provide the user the latest implementation and most recent functionalities.
DirectX Visualizer
The DirectX Visualizer enables one to view the output of 3D applications or games on 2D+Z 3D displays even though the applications have not been designed to support them. It does this by intercepting the interaction between the 3D application and DirectX.
Because the application is unaware of the visualizer doing its work, all configuration and tweaking has to be done through the visualizer’s configuration file. An overview of how to get a new application to work with the visualizer, and the configuration file format and an explanation of all possible settings are given in the manual.
Assumed is basic knowledge of the Direct3D API in its explanation of the visualizer configuration process.
OpenGL Visualizer
The OpenGL Visualizer enables one to view the output of 3D applications or games on Dimenco displays even though the applications have not been designed to support them. It does this by intercepting the interaction between the 3D application and OpenGL.
Because the application is unaware of the visualizer doing its work, all configuration and tweaking has to be done through the visualizer’s configuration file. An overview of how to get a new application to work with the visualizer, the configuration file format and an explanation of all possible settings are given in the manual.
Configuration files and installation instructions for some games are included with the download.
OpenGL Control
The purpose of the OpenGL Control DLL and its API is to allow an application builder to get his OpenGL application running on a 2D+Z 3D display with minimal effort. To this end the DLL exports several functions in addition to the functions exported by the regular OpenGL DLL. These functions can be used by applications to make optimal use of the 3D display.
It is not necessary to change the OpenGL application in order for OpenGL function calls to work properly. For the extra functions exported by the Dimenco DLL, the application will have to call GetProcAddress() to retrieve function pointers. How this can be done is illustrated in the source code of the sample application that is shipped with the OpenGL Control.
In most cases the OpenGL Control will generate proper output for a 3D display even if the application does not call any of the API functions. It is recommended to first try out the application without calling any of the API functions and then add calls to these functions as necessary or desired.

Triaxes Depthgate
DepthGate software converts 3D glasses (L&R stereo) video content into glasses-free 3D format (2D+Depth and N-View). The program automatically corrects color and aligns input video for both 3D glasses and glasses-free output formats. DepthGate supports common compression standards and file formats such as WMV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and AVC.
Documentation makes it easy to start processing content efficiently.
DepthGate enables the user to customize processing settings individually at the scene level. Adjust depth strength by setting background and foreground parallax and advanced settings customization.
