Abstract

The receiver converts and enhances video through hardware and software simultaneously from a cable (air), VCR, DVD, and computer into realistic 3d images. It will enable multiple connections for four video images simultaneously on each of the four casings. The cabling will enable all the video data to flow from the receiver to the casings. There are four casings placed in a shape of a rectangle or square that will emit the bold colorful 3d image as a projection.

Description

Zebrita 3D-Television (Monitor) Back in the late 1940's a revolution was beginning. With the help of money, science and math the first working television was made. Now nearly 60 years later 1 have thought of the next evolution of the viewing medium. I call it the Zebrita 3d TV. f feel this invention will enhance viewers into the twenty first century. It will be used as a vast tool for graphic artists and as a relaxing entertainment viewing device just as a television is today.
I would like to name the main components of this invention.
There are four in total. The receiver (8), the backside of the receiver (9), the casings ( 1 1 ) and the cabling (10).
The receiver (8) will enhance the 3-d viewing experience with a powerful microprocessor and hardware decoder designed to produce life like images. It's design and powerful performance will be second to none. This receiver will control what you view just like a stereo with sound. It will sit a top all other components in a home theatre system. The backside (9) has many of the universal connections for video and audio. Excepting the new connection for 3d TV (9.1 ). This connection will support flawless data speeds going into nano second transfer rates. I have introduced flat panel controls for menu selection on the front, (2), (3), (4), (5). This will save on wear and tear from push buttons. Next is the casing. It has three parts to it, the casing ( 1 1 ), the connection ( 1 I .2) and the glass-covered front ( 11.3). The casings wil I
equal a total of four per viewing station. Each casing will lie on the ground or above on a roof. They will be placed in a shape of a rectangle or square. The middle front of the casing will have to be adjusted so they face the exact center of the x, y, and z space ( 12). Each casing will be made of aluminum that wil I make it light and durable. On the left side of the casing ( 11.2) there is same 3dtv connection as on the backside of the receiver (9.1 ). Lastly is the cabling which will be made of fiber optic plastic ( 10). It is actually a cross between USB and fiber Optical ( 10.1 ). 1 call it U03d.
This will be the best connection to enable a pure flawless video stream digitally from the video source right to the person who is viewing the 3d image.
Now I would like to talk more about these components I have mentioned, going into more detail of the functions and features of my Zebrita 3d TV.

When there is power (7) to my 3d TV each of the four casings ( 1 1 ) will have a blue (x, y, z) cross hair emitting from them. All four of the casings will need to moved manually. Once all four blue 3d cross hairs are joined as one, each casing will now be proportional with each other. The (x, y, z) cross hair will vary in size and space depending on the resolution and size that is set. The user will be able to select resolutions and sizes from the minimum of 1024*
1024*768 at 0.27000m cubed to the maximum of242725*242725* 182044 at 64m cubed. Each casing will allow one video input viewed at reduced resolution and size. This will make a total of four video inputs per 3d TV. It will also support 2D images alone and both 3-D, 2-D images simultaneously. For Example, if you are using a word-processing application, casings 3 and 4 (13) will project nothing and casings 1 and 2 will project the actual 2d, 3d image. I have also included a safety precaution in the casings. It consists of a sensitive motion detector. Once there is a slight movement of a person or animal, the main 3dtv receiver will shut down and stand by for 15 seconds (repeats if necessary) until no movement. Each of the four casings will have one of these installed. The 3d image will not affect the motion detector.
The receiver (8) is the heart for my 3dtv. This receiver will have a powerful CPU and graphics accelerator in it to process and convert normal broadcasting signals from motion video cameras, studio camera, VHS, super 8, DVD, Computer (Video Cards) and console gaming machines into life like 3d video holograms. The receiver will also have a small amount of memory storage for future enhancements. The receiver (8) has a front panel ( 1 ) and display screen (6) on the front. When operational the display screen (6) will have four circles displayed. Each circle will represent one of the four casings. Each circle on the screen (6) will light up to show that each casing is on and will darken to show each casing not being used. They will also rotate accordingly. The four circles are numbered, circle 1 and 2 ( 13) being default front. You will be able to switch the front casings 1 and 2 to 3,1 or 4,3 or 2,4 ( 13.1 ). Basically you will be able to circle switch clock or counter clockwise to view each side of the three dimensional image from one spot. The display screen (6) will also let the user see all manipulated functions of my 3d TV.
There are three flat panel buttons, which are "setup" (2), "display" (3), "input" (4) and (5) is a up and down keypad.
The "setup" (2) button will let the user change the date and time, 3d, 2d closed captioning text, channel labeling add/remove channels and will have auto program for cable (air) users. The "display" (3) button will let the user change resolution settings, viewing size, precise cross hair positioning, zoom, horizontal & vertical flip, screen saver, contrast, brightness, color, tint, sharpness and circle switching. The "input" (4) device button will let the user control and enable what devices are being used like cable (air), computer, DVD, or one of these inputs on each casing. It will also enable the audio features including optical output and U03d output. (5) Will let the user manipulate all the settings on the unit. (7.1) Is an inferred remote transmitter, which will allow any programmable remote to manipulate settings for my 3dtv.
On the back of the receiver there will be four U03d video outs optimized for digital video connections (9.1 ). These 3d TV connections will enable the highly shielded optical cables ( 10) attach to casings (1 1.2). (9.2) Will be composite video out and left and right analog stereo audio output. (9.3) Is a total of four composite video inputs. (9.4) Is a total of four S-Vhs inputs. (9.5) Is a total of four coaxial cable inputs. (9.6) Is a total of four 15-pin Svga inputs. (9.7) Is one 15-pin Svga output. (9.8) Is a U03d video and audio optical output that will connect to another device. (9.9) Is two Universal Serial Bus connections. (9.10) Is audio optical out. (9.11 ) Is a standard 120 volt power plug.
