A system and method for improving stereoscopic images produced by a projecting device containing a single chip DMD, seen through an eye-switching device, such as a pair of liquid crystal (LC) shutter glasses. The system and method are used with a video projector used with a multiple-color, color switching device The color switching device produces Blue, Red and Green lights and at least one non-critical segment. A color sequencing firmware resident in the video projector is used to align a non-critical segment in front of the projector's main light source during the eye-switching device's unstable transition phase. If the non-critical segment is transmissive, the firmware controls the DMD so light is discontinued. If the non-critical segment is non-transmissive, light is physically blocked. If the non-critical segment is electronically defined, the firmware directly controls the DMD to discontinue the transmission of light for the duration of device's unstable transition phase.
An improved 3D stereoscopic video projector system that includes a 3D stereoscopic, digital light processor video projector containing a light source, a single light processing element, a color switching device that produces Red, Blue and Green colors and produces at least one transmissive, non-critical color segment or at least one non-transmissive, non-critical segment, an eye-switching timing viewing device that receives the light from the light processing element to produce a viewable 3D image, and a color sequencing control firmware that controls the operation of the digital light processor, the improvement comprising:
A method for controlling the image quality from a single chip, 3D video projector using an eye-switching viewing device, comprising:
