For Quadro boards with a stereo connector, use the 3-pin mini-din to 1/8” stereo cable that comes with the 3D Vision kit to connect the graphics board to the emitter. This cable provides a direct connection from the GPU to the glasses to make sure they are switching at the correct time.

Note: 3D Vision glasses kits sold in Europe and Asia do not currently contain this cable. For Europe, an upgrade kit from PNY is available (P/N: QSP-3DV-KIT) thru the Quadro channel. Please contact your Quadro distributor or contact NVIDIA support if you need more information.

Download and install the 3D Vision USB Driver for 3D Vision glasses:

Windows XP 32/64, Windows Vista 32/64 and Windows 7 32/64

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and enable the OpenGL stereo display method in the “Manage 3D Settings” tab:

	When connecting to a 3D Vision-Ready LCD, Projector or CRT: For boards with the stereo connector, select “On-board DIN connector (with NVIDIA IR Emitter)” and plug in the 3 pin mini-din to 1/8” stereo cable that came with your 3D Vision glasses kit. For boards without the mini-din select “Generic Active Stereo (with NVIDIA IR Emitter)”. Note: If using a 120Hz LCD, make sure the display refresh rate is set at 110Hz or 120Hz. When connecting to a 3D capable DLP TV: Select “3D DLP Display (with NVIDIA IR Emitter)”
	Turn on stereo under the Stereo-Enable entry
