Settings in the OctoNus Stereo Viewer

   1. Set frame rate to desired FPS (usually 15 or 20 fps);
   2. Set Round check for looped playback;
   3. Set the split type (for Digital Microscope stereo movies use Side by Side (Left First));

You should set Side by Side split type on your 3D Smart TV by 3D Mode button on the remote control in accordance with selected stereo mode in OSV on step d.

Press 'Escape' key on your keyboard to exit from full-screen mode.

Two screens mode

Anamorphic stereo mode cannot show GUI controls on stereo TV. To work with controls and view stereo at the same time, it is possible to use two-screen configuration. This is usable for the laptop on a presentation.

To enable this mode, the following steps are needed:

• Attach your TV as usual

• Enable "Extend desktop mode" in display settings. Make sure the TV is the primary screen! (as of now, stereo window always opened at the primary screen).
• Open OSV on secondary (laptop) screen. If it is opened on the primary screen, move it the laptop screen with mouse.
• Enable anamorphic stereo as decribed above. You'll see that GUI controls are still available on your laptop screen and stereo window is opened on the TV screen.
