Vuzix STAR 1200XLD AR System User Guide - Manual (Page 25)

The STAR 1200XLD utilizes Vuzix’ patented Quantum Optics display system to provide a see-
through view of the real world with computer-generated content displayed as a 2D or 3D video
overlay.
Other than a minimally intrusive display frame, the STAR 1200XLD provides an unhindered
view of the real-world, similar to a pair of glasses. Semi-transparent video content is overlaid in
the twin high-resolution WVGA (852 x 480) LCD displays to appear in your view of the world.
Its widescreen, 16:9 displays and 35-degree field of view produce the equivalent of a 75-inch
virtual screen as viewed from ten feet (~3m).
Newer HDMI equipped computers, running Windows, will recognize the STAR as an HDMI
display and auto-configure to the highest available resolution. Some older systems may require
additional display configuration.
For the STAR 1200XLD display to function correctly on a Windows based PC the computer’s
display settings must be configured as follows:
• The computer must be configured for two monitors displaying the same image.
Depending upon the version of Windows being used this might be referred to as using
the duplicate, mirrored, or clone display mode.
• The following display resolutions are supported:
640 x 480, 60 Hertz (VGA)
800 x 600, 60 Hertz (SVGA)
1024 x 768, 60 Hertz (XGA)
1280 x 720, 60 Hertz (720p)
Note: Some resolutions may not be available on Windows XP systems.
Tip: The sharpest image can achieved using the lowest display resolution settings.
2D and 3D video is supported on all known makes and models of Windows compatible graphics
cards and no additional 3D drivers are required.
By default the STAR display supports standard 2D video. Stereoscopic 3D video support is
provided for side-by-side and top/bottom formatted content. To view 3D content, the computer
display must be set to “full screen”.
