The wide angle emitter should be used if the geometry of the room is such that a +/‐10 degree cone
of radiation will cover only a small portion of the screen. It also may be placed near the screen and
aimed at the audience.
AE110‐Emitter, Mid‐Range, Narrow Angle
This is a medium range emitter designed for small theaters and
screening rooms with up to 100 seats. It is designed to be placed
near the projector and aimed at the screen. It contains 56 high‐
power, narrow‐angle (±10°), IR diodes and consumes four watts of
power in active operation. It’s dimensions are 4.4”(111.8 mm)x
1.4”(35.6 mm) x 3.0”(76.2 mm), (width/height/depth). It weighs 6
ounces (.17 Kg).
AE125‐Emitter, Mid‐Range, Wide Angle
This is a variation of the Medium range emitter designed to be
mounted at the front of the theater and aimed at the audience. It
provides fill coverage in special situations such as very wide
theaters where bouncing the IR signal off the screen proves
inadequate. It contains 56 high‐power, wide‐angle (±25°), IR diodes
and consumes four watts of power in active operation. It’s
dimensions are 4.4”(111.8 mm)x 1.4”(35.6 mm) x 3.0”(76.2 mm),
(width/height/depth). It weighs 6 ounces (.17 Kg).
AD1000‐ Sync Distribution Module
The Distribution Module receives the frame sync signal from the
projector or other source, converts it to X
PAN
D’s proprietary
synchronization pulse code and sends it to the IR emitter arrays. It
also supplies power to the emitter arrays and monitors their
performance. It can control up to four IR emitter arrays
simultaneously. In addition to the external IR arrays, the unit has its
own set of IR emitters that will flood the projection booth with the
IR signal. These IR diodes can be turned off if desired. The module is designed to be mounted on the
front wall of the projection booth. Its dimensions are 8.6”(218,4 mm) x 4.2”(106.7 mm) x 2.3”(58.4
mm), (width/height/depth). It weighs 15 ounces (.43 Kg)
To conserve power and extend life, the distribution module activates the IR emitter arrays only if the
frame sync signal is of a frequency higher than 36 Hertz and less than 80 Hertz. 3D movies use a sync
rate of 48 to 72 Hertz while 2D movies use a sync rate of 24 Hertz. For this reason the unit does not
have to be deactivated when 2D movies are being shown or the projector is idle.
