iZ3D Announces Comprehensive New Drivers for the 3D Community
Features 64 Bit Compatibility, CrossFireX and Open GL Quad Buffer Support "Test Drive" 3D Effects on a 2D Monitor
| Source: iZ3D, LLC
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - June 9, 2008) - iZ3D, LLC, is a designer, developer, and
marketer of advanced 3D visualization systems. The company is pleased to
announce that it has created a new driver version that solves many 3D
compatibility issues for the 3D community overall as well as for the iZ3D
monitor. The new drivers feature 64 Bit compatibility, CrossFireX and Open
GL Quad Buffer support. Users can also "Test Drive" 3D effects on a 2D
monitor with red and cyan anaglyph glasses. The new 3D driver is available
now for download at the www.iZ3D.com website.
"We have been at the forefront of the new trend towards 3D for gaming,
movies and creative design efforts and have worked hard to overcome many
hardware and software challenges. As 3D becomes more popular, more
manufacturers are now taking stereoscopic 3D seriously and are beginning to
see it as a sales advantage," remarked Thomas Striegler, CEO of iZ3D, LLC.
"Being an industry leader, we believed it was important to provide this new
driver to the entire 3D community to further the adoption of 3D."
64-Bit and 32-Bit System Compatibility
The new iZ3D driver allows your computer to play either 64-bit games on a
64-bit system or 32 bit games on a 64 Bit system. This breakthrough will
make systems using Microsoft Vista® much more game friendly.
Open GL Quad Buffer Support
This feature supports the many programs that are capable of running in Q
Buffer mode. This includes support for the molecular visualization system
PyMOL and for the popular game Quake 3™.
Anaglyph and Dual Projector Features for the 3D Community
iZ3D is a strong supporter of the entire 3D Community. Through the new
anaglyph and dual projector features many 3D users will benefit from this
driver. By using the traditional Red and Cyan "3D" anaglyph glasses users
can now take a "test drive" of the 3D experience by using a 2D monitor.
Dual projector support such as for TDVision's TDVisor HMD solution allows
other 3D manufacturers to offer a more comprehensive 3D solution with this
driver.
ATI CrossFireX™ support for Powerful PCs
Now the iZ3D monitor and other 3D solutions will work with most popular
video cards such as ATI and NVidia. This technology can take two GPU's and
use their combined power to render a game faster than a single GPU. This is
especially true for boards such as the Radeon HD 3870 X2.
New Friendly User Interface
Now users can store player profiles and hot key groups from each game they
have installed on their computer. This will make using different games fast
and easy. All the player info and hot key groups for each game will be
safely stored on your desktop.
iZ3D Monitor
iZ3D monitors incorporate advances in technology that create significant
competitive and technical advantages over other display systems. iZ3D
developed this unique technology to create an adjustable stereoscopic 3D
environment without causing eyestrain, spatial disorientation, or
headaches. In 3D mode, viewers can see clear, bright, sharp 3D images and
videos simply by wearing passive polarized glasses. Its smart capabilities
allow it at the push of a button to go from the breath-taking 3D experience
to the more mundane 2D viewing for regular office tasks or surfing the web.
The iZ3D 22" monitor offers the first S-3D drivers compatible with popular
dual output cards, including the NVIDIA GeForce 8 Series and the ATI
FireGL™ V3600 workstation graphics accelerator. These drivers are
optimized to take advantage of Intel's® Core™ 2 Duo and Intel®
Core™ 2 Quad processor technologies. (iZ3D also features drivers that
support Microsoft® DirectX® 8, 9 and 10 graphics in Windows® XP and
Microsoft® Windows Vista™. The unit is powered by existing PCs
equipped with a dual-output video card. Specifications include: 1680 x 1050
resolution; up to 170-degree 3D viewing angle; 5ms response time; 700:1
contrast ratio; and 16.7-million colors.
