Viewing From One Eye to the Other

As you are grading your Left and Right Eye footage, there is an easy way for you to switch the footage that is being displayed in the Player. The Left and Right Eye button allows you to switch between the footage with ease.

To switch the footage displayed in the Player from one eye to the other:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • In the Player display controls, click on the Left/Right Eye (L/R) button.
    Note: This is the field 1 (F1)/field 2 (F2) button when you are not in Stereo mode. You can still check your field dominance when in Stereo mode by holding the Ctrl key and clicking on the Field 1/Field 2 buttons in the Setup/Grade menu.
    • Press ; (semicolon).

If you are currently displaying the Right Eye timeline in the Player, the layer output selector is labelled R. When you click the R button, the layer output selector is now labelled L, the Left Eye is displayed in the Player, and the focus point is now on the Left Eye layer (and vice versa).

Switching the Player to display the Left or Right Eye footage does not affect what is playing out on the NVIDIA HDSDI output if you have selected a stereoscopic raster. If you have selected a mono (non-Stereo) raster, the layer (eye) you see on your monitor is what is displayed on your video output.

Note: The position of the focus point is linked to the layer output selector.
