3DA1 Calc determines how much positive parallax will be in your final stereoscopic 3D image when it is displayed on a 3DTV or in a digital cinema 3D theatre, and is specifically designed for use with Panasonics AG-3DA1 3D camcorder.
By simply entering the zoom and convergence values (on scale of 00-99 with the Panasonic AG-3DA1) and the distance to the furthest visible background object, 3DA1 Calc will present the maximum positive parallax in actual width and percentage for your chosen target screen size of 26 inch 3DTV, 65 inch 3DTV or theatrical sized screen (30 feet wide.)
Metric and Imperial units are supported. Use infinity (∞) as the furthest object distance when shooting outside and the horizon or clouds are visible in the distance.
It is extremely important to keep maximum positive parallax under 65mm (approximately 2.5 inches) which is the average human interocular distance. The distance of the viewer to the screen is irrelevant. 3DA1 Calc will warn the user when 65mm is exceeded.
3DA1 Calc includes direct links to Dashwood technical support and the on-board instructions.
Settings can also be saved and loaded from a previous session or shot.
