Select a graphics card
The SD2620W unit requires a dual-output graphics card to drive the two
monitors with a DVI signal. For professional applications that use OpenGL
quad-buffered stereo, the graphics card should support OpenGL stereo as
well. Typically, the two monitors should be in clone mode for these
applications with stereo enabled.
There are several compatible graphics card families. The NVIDIA Quadro FX
line is recommended for OpenGL stereo applications. The NVIDIA GeForce
line offers dual-DVI output graphics cards that work well for PC gaming and
DirectX applications.

configuration, and using side monitors with the SD2620W unit.
Install the mirror-flip PCI card
Proper ESD (electrostatic discharge) handling precautions should
be exercised when installing the mirror-flip PCI card. Consult the
computer manual for proper installation of graphics cards.
Because the viewer will see a
reflection of the top monitor, this
image needs to be flipped on the
horizontal axis. A mirror-flip PCI card is
included with the SD2620W unit. Plug
this card into a free PCI slot in your
computer. There are no drivers to load
with the card.
1. Remove the blank bracket from
an available PCI slot.
2. Insert the mirror-flip PCI card into
the slot, align the connector pins,
and press the board down until it
is firmly seated.
3. Secure the mounting bracket.
