i folowed numerous instructions how to run the elsa wired glases,,,it runs great on older cards and win xp with stereo drivers,,, NOT BETA! i was able to run it on my 8800 gts but with numerous problems and bugs,,folowed instructions on mtbs3d and the result was almost nothing,blue screen,crash etc. then i had an idea,i have old p3 with fx 5200 with stereo drivers, i turn on the glases on old computer and set the resolution and refresh rate to match the other computers resolution and refresh rate. the new computer has iz3d drivers set to shuter beta.i tried cod 4 and passed the iz3d test on start. the stereo works,,, maybe somebody can try this, maybe it wil be better. ps … p3 is about 10 eur,,,,hehehe

I would love to know if the 3D Revelators work with the new ATI drivers 10.3 released today. If anyone could check please let me know. Then I will have to start digging in the garage.

@all
It’s not a matter of driver, EDID, pins, DDC signal or stuff. It turned out, that my glasses just died a natural death.
A friend of mine, who is a magician regarding fixing hardware, revived a view of them by pulling and plugging the inner shutter glasses out and back in again. It’s only a matter of contact. I’m going to write a blog entry (maybye with one or two drawings) which describes how it was done.

Thanks to all anyway.

Regards,
Andreas

PS: I’m using the Acer H5360 DLP @120Hz with Windows 7 and XP. If you did the same mistake and didn’t use the original Acer VGA cable, which was sold just right away with the beamer itself, then you maybe also suffered from a not deteced beamer. This way you can’t select the 120HZ mode, and the 3Dvision wizard refuses to work. After hours I realized my fault, but a Acer_H5360.inf file anywhere (Acers homepage?) on the Internet would have done the same, but there wasn’t any. Thats why here is the

– Acer_H5360.inf

for the Acer H5360 Beamer working with Windows 7 and XP. (Produced with Moninfo). Just go to your monitors drivers section, and install it manually.

just got my Elsa Revelator glasses working again – after a pause of some 7 years! in case anyone’s interested in getting their glasses working as well, I posted the details on nvidia’s forum: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=163555

@all Doesn't anybody knows of a solution for a broken ELSA 3D Revelator (IR-Version)? Driver and Monitor are OK, because if a press the glasses with my fingers in the opposite direction of my nose they start working for a few seconds. There must be a way to fix/repair them somehow. It must be contact issue or such. They all stopped working after a while , one after the other, died like flies. All eight. What I can certainly exclude:

Batteries (the are brand new VARTA 2032)

VGA Cable (because, If I press the glasses, they start to work for a short time) -Driver (because: see above)

Monitor (it's an CRT 140KHz, all TFTs are turned off -> No foreign interfering IR source)

Any ideas? Regards, Andreas

@Decryphe
That would be too nice too be true (3D@Radeon). Btw. do you know whether the eDimensional Glasses work with an 3D Revelator IR-Transmitter diod? All my Revelators doesn’t work anymore.
I was about to test the mentioned 162.50 Stereo driver on XP, but no glasses around, I can test it with.

@acmelabs:
I’ve had 91.31 working flawlessly with my Elsa Revelator (wired), a GeForce 6600GT and a good old CRT (160Hz @ 800×600 ftw!) on Windows XP. I’ve tried them with a friend’s GF7900GT too, once and they froze the PC with Oblivion after some minute of playing (in 3D ^^).

Now that I have a Radeon HD4870 I’m really interested to see, what is going to happen with the newly released drivers (10.3), since they are said to support stereo 3D. I just wonder, if they support the good old Elsa Revelator glasses (or eDimensional stuff and such). I’ll be very happy if they did…

@professorjwn
“I am speaking Quadro cards, though GeForce supposedly should work as well”
GeForce7950 is the last known to work. I’m not familiar with the Quatro series, but is the last know card, that supposed to work with the glasses?

Btw. Thanks a lot for sharing this
