Supported Video Goggles and Head-Mounted Displays


The following table lists the officially supported video goggles and head-mounted displays. As the Side-by-Side (SBS) as well as the Field-Sequential (FS) 3D video format is well established, it is expected that other video goggles claiming compatibility with SBS or FS video might be supported as well.

Additional Remark on FatShark's DominatorHD V1 FPV Goggle

Starting with S/N 1128 all 3D-cameras have an undocumented emergency feature for swapping left and right picture during camera operation. This helps to compensate for the occasionally swapped (*) 3D-picture when powering-up the goggle. If you want to use this feature simply create a short circuit between the nCTRL pin and the nearest GND pin at the camera's extension port (see manual). During power-up the NerdCam3D senses the logic level at nCTRL and when a Low signal is detected the left and right pictures will be swapped. The short circuit does not have to be present all the time, it can be released after starting the camera. The camera keeps this setting until the next power cycle. If unconnected the pin nCTRL is pulled High with a pull-up resistor.

 

In order to test whether your goggle is affected by this problem, simply connect the NerdCam3D to the goggle (either directly or via your AV video link), switch the goggle into 3D mode, and test whether the picture of the NerdCam's left lens appears on your left eye while covering the right lens with your hand. The "left lens" is the lens on the left side when you try to read the textual descriptions and product name on the back-side of the camera's PCB.
