Stereo Settings
VCollab Pro users can modify eye shift value for stereo mode using Stereo Settings found in the Edit Menu.
The various controls and options available under Stereo Settings are explained below.
Stereo Modes
Sets specified stereo mode
Eye Shift
Approximate distance between viewers eye ball in centimeters.
Screen Distance
Approximate distance between viewer and screen in centimeters.
FOV
Viewing angle 50 to 70 degree is recommended.
Quad Buffer Test On Start
If checked, before the start of the next session of VCollab Pro, GPU will be tested for Quad Buffer Support. Quad Buffer will be listed , along with other stereo modes if GPU supports Quad Buffer.
Note:
This version of VCollab Pro supports only single channel stereo. The 3D DLP (Digital Light Processing) projectors that do not support single channel stereo, expect left and right images on two independent windows, which are then connected to two output cables from GPU. The current version of VCollab Pro renders left and right images in the same window.

Stereo Support in 3D TV
Some of the 3D TVs support stereo in active mode and some in passive mode.
VCollab Pro works on both, using Top-Bottom or Left-Right (side by side) mode. No Quad buffer GPU is needed in laptop or desktop.
UHD is recommended. Even if it loses half resolution, 2K in each frame is good enough to get good visualization
