CABLES:
LITY ENGINE:

TYD2 or P2 port. Be sure the port is set for
NOT ATTACHED in the
TOOLS/PORT SETUP.

)
O SERIES:
ocated close to where the monitor

MINI DIN to DB9.
ay have to be loaded in from
ribution software.
ing some of the resident demo software that t
he located
xamples/devices/StereoView
is another good "stereo test" program. It sh
ould be a

s will elongate the monitor

Also there is a program called /usr/demo

e you info on that.
*****************
O STEREO MODE?:
upport 30HZ, 60HZ, NTSC, PAL, and 30HZ_SG.
GT and GTX RV1.2,RV2 Graphics
HZ, 60HZ, NTSC, PAL, 30HZ_SG 343 and
CT.
Run ".usr/gfx/gfxinfo". That should help
us out in figuring the
other way is the brute force method;
gfx/setmon -n 60HZ (then return)
ste the above command into the mouse cut and
paste buffer.

you will see stretched out text

and goes crazy, and you can not see
you are doing, press the middle mouse button
to get the

The SGI type has only a DB9 connector
a range switch, while the PC/PRO emitter has
