Zondision LFD Monitor Installation and User Guide

Overall Installation

1.1 Stand and Base Assembly

  1. Open the package and take out the base, stand components, and related accessories;
  2. Align the metal positioning pins on both sides of the base with the corresponding slots on the stand, insert smoothly, and ensure full engagement;
  3. Tighten the securing screws at the bottom of the stand with the provided tools to fasten the base and stand;
  4. Align the quick-release bracket with the standard mounting holes on the back of the monitor, insert it, snap the buckle into place, and lock it to complete the fixation between the monitor and the stand.

Monitor Connection Specifications

To ensure the monitor fully supports 2D display and LFD (Auto-Stereoscopic 3D) functions, strictly adopt one of the following two standard connection methods:

2.1 Option 1: Type-C One-Cable Solution

Use a full-featured Type-C cable to connect the full-featured Type-C port of the computer host to the full-featured Type-C port of the monitor, realizing integrated video transmission, power supply, and data interaction.

2.2 Option 2: DP/HDMI + USB Dual-Cable Connection

  1. Video Connection: Use a DP or HDMI high-definition cable to connect the DP/HDMI port of the computer to the corresponding video port of the monitor;
  2. Data and Power Connection: Use the included USB A to B cable to connect the USB 3.0 port of the computer to the Type-B port of the monitor, which is used for transmitting eye-tracking data and LFD function control signals.
⚠️ Important Note: Connecting only a single DP/HDMI video cable will result in the monitor operating only in normal 2D mode, and LFD auto-stereoscopic 3D-related functions cannot be activated.

Software Download and Installation

Before using the LFD function, visit the official website (www.zondision.com), obtain the following software from the download section (supports Windows 10/11 operating systems), and complete the installation as prompted:

3.1 3ds (Core Service Software)

  1. Function Positioning: The background core service program for the monitor's LFD mode, responsible for basic functions such as eye-tracking data collection and control of the operating mode of the monitor's built-in 3D chip;
  2. Usage Requirement: This software must be installed and running; otherwise, the LFD mode and related advanced functions cannot be activated.

3.2 3DRenderer (3D Content Playback Tool)

  1. Application Scenarios: For viewing 3D videos, 3D images, and 3D models;
  2. Format Support: Compatible with mainstream 3D model formats such as .obj, .fbx, .stp, as well as standard 3D media formats such as Side-by-Side (SBS) and Top-and-Bottom (TAB).

3.3 Z2dGames (Game Management and Enhancement Client)

  1. Core Advantages: Aggregates resources from major game platforms such as Steam and Epic, automatically identifies and lists LFD-compatible game directories (covering AAA titles, classic games, indie games, with weekly updates of newly adapted content);
  2. LFD Functions: One-click activation of LFD mode with optimal 3D parameter matching, built-in 3D Sense adjustment panel (supports real-time depth intensity adjustment and quick switching between 2D/LFD modes), eye-tracking calibration function (ensures precise matching of stereoscopic effects);
  3. Additional Functions: Supports modification features for over 5,000 games; a gamer community will be launched in the future to facilitate user communication on LFD gaming experiences.

3.4 Software Updates and SDK Acquisition

  1. Software Updates: The latest versions of 3ds, 3DRenderer, and Z2dGames are synchronously released through the official website's download section. It is recommended to check for updates regularly to get the best functional experience;
  2. Developer SDK: The official website also provides SDK toolkits for 3D application developers, supporting mainstream development environments such as Unity, Unreal Engine (UE), and C++. It can help developers quickly integrate LFD display functions into their own 3D applications, and the appropriate version can be selected according to project requirements.

Switching Between 2D/LFD Display Modes

4.1 Automatic Switching

The monitor will automatically switch to LFD mode in the following scenarios without manual operation:

  1. When opening 3D models or 3D media files with 3DRenderer;
  2. When launching LFD-compatible games via Z2dGames, the client will link with the monitor to switch modes automatically;
  3. 3D applications developed with the official SDK can preset mode switching logic through code to achieve automatic synchronization with application operations (e.g., entering a 3D scene).

4.2 Manual Switching

When playing 3D content with non-official software (requirements: output standard SBS format left-right split-screen images and display in full screen), the mode can be switched manually in the following ways:

  1. Hardware Operation: Press the dedicated "2D/LFD" physical button on the back of the monitor;
  2. Shortcut Key Operation: Use the default Alt+Q key combination (can be customized in the "Settings - 3D Mode Shortcut" menu of the 3ds system tray);
  3. Switching Logic: When in 2D mode, the operation switches to LFD mode; when in LFD mode, the operation switches back to 2D mode.

4.3 LFD Mode Indicator Light

  1. LFD Mode: The LFD indicator light on the front panel of the monitor is steadily on;
  2. 2D Mode: The LFD indicator light is off;
  3. Function: The status of the indicator light allows quick judgment of the current display mode.
