2 About 3D perception 3D perception enables immersive, engaging, and meaningful visual experiences for the professional simulation and visualization marketplaces. Since our beginning in 1997, warping-capable digital projector, expand to include a full range of extensible solutions and services. We provision our patented display processing and auto-calibration technologies, tightly and design and integration support to enable you in Achieving Your Vision. As the predominant provider of immersive, curved screen, multi-projected solutions, 3D perception systems are in operation worldwide, with over 8,000 visual channels high-resolution, live-linked solutions empower simulation-training systems with life-like realism. We innovate and provision our display system building blocks and full immersive solutions to customer s requirements. Experience & Innovation: Powered by People We are passionate about pixel-perfection and contributing our expertise in fostering high-impact, high value training results. From research, development, and engineering, to professional support and maintenance vision, and passion results in innovative and exemplary products and services. Companies choose to work with 3D perception track record of exellence and provide the entire solution; before, during, and after delivery. We enable simulation companies to focus on what they do best, and to not be concerned with developing custom display systems per project.

3 ndesigner Simulator display system design software Designing the perfect simulation projection theater is no trivial task. In configuring an arena in which learning transfer is optimized, there are many factors to be considered. Engineering driven design 3D perception s answer to the complex and challenging demands of the simulator industry is ndesigner, our internal engineering tool for simulation theater specification and design. Developed by engineers who together have amassed an enormous range of knowledge and experience in the simulation industry, this sophisticated software allows 3D perception and our Certified Partners to design and analyze any type of projection theater existing or conceptual regardless of the room layout, cockpits, etc. ndesigner accounts for a multitude of variables such as optics, eye-points, and screen surface preparation, and provides accurate data plots for luminance, resolution, and observability range. The tool facilitates the implementation of valid, optimal designs from concept through to completion. Features include screen analysis, projection analysis, collision detection analysis, and focus analysis as well as the ability to automatically generate predictive performance results.

4 Northstar Simulation display ecosystem Introducing Northstar, the new name for 3D perception s simulation display solutions. Northstar is the fusion of the following live-linked building blocks: nbox: Next-generation display processor Aurora: Instrumented smart screens ncontrol: Graphical user interface Simulation Certified Projectors: Professional simulation projectors ncontrol NORTHSTAR Image Generator nbox Certified Projectors Aurora nbox Next generation display processor At the heart of 3D perception s Northstar ecosystem is nbox, an all-in-one display processor that scales, warps, blends and color corrects content at zero frame latency. nbox outputs to multiple projectors at resolutions up to WQXGA and seamlessly displays imagery across flat, cylindrical, conical, and spherical screens. Between projectors, nbox synchronizes color, contrast, brightness, gamma, and compensates for hot spots, creating a truly consistent image. nbox takes viewing frustums into account as defined by the user and treats the multi-projector theater as one contiguous display not as an array of individually controlled projectors. Features: Independence provides maximum flexibility Powered by 3DP s patented Digital Geometry Processor Intelligent EDID Resolutions up to WQXGA Projector control over DVI Zero frame latency High reliability - redundant power supplies Hot-swappable power supplies & I/O boards 2U rackmount form factor Combine analog & digital I/Os Non-linear image warping Auto image alignment Auto color alignment Gamma correction Hotspot compensation Black level enhancement Test pattern generation Input signal analysis

5 Aurora Auto-aligning, instrumented smart screens Using embedded sensors, Aurora smart screens can detect the alignment and quality of projector images, communicate back to nbox, and automatically make precision adjustments to geometry, edge blending and color. We call it WarpSync and ChromaSync. Screen options Aurora screens are available for any size and shape requirements. Screens can be configured at any horizontal and vertical field of view, up to complete dome display systems. Features: Enables Northstar s fully automatic warping, blending and color calibration Completely self-calibrated, no separate instruments required Performance validation via feedback LEDs Modular and expandable Available in any size Available in any shape - spherical, cylindrical, conical, flat Aurora sensor packs available to retrofit existing screens Embedded Aurora sensors enable automatic WarpSync & ChromaSync between projector channels.

6 ncontrol Display system management software Most simulation applications have high-level requirements for image quality, stability and consistency. Frequent brightness and color adjustments are required in most simulators and projection theaters have to be regularly realigned, especially after lamp replacement or maintenance. ncontrol is an intuitive, user-friendly graphical software interface for control and maintenance and allows the user to approach the display as an integrated system, not as discrete components. ncontrol is responsible for maintaining a consistently pixel-perfect image, and in concert with nbox and Aurora, it automatically performs geometry adjustment, edge blending, color balancing, and gamma correction. With a push of a button, it automates maintenance procedures and will readjust the system s image in seconds. ncontrol can be used to quickly switch between training profiles like from daytime operations to night vision goggle training. Features: Centralized interface for integrated control of entire display system One-click power up/down and maintenance Save/load multiple training profiles - changes eyepoints, accounts for different obstructions Scenario Management - through IG Interface, transition time of day during live training session Control projector shutters for night time training Automate procedures which could otherwise take hours Option for wireless touch remote interface through Apple ipad Photo courtesy of Electric Picture

7 Northstar Simulation Certified Projectors 3D perception products are projectorindependent. This allows us, our partners, and our customers to retain the benefits of a rapidly advancing feature set available in the professional projector marketplace. Not every commercially available projection system should be used in a real-time, long service life, deterministic environment. This is why we have developed the Northstar Simulation Certified program, to indicate to our customers the specific projection systems that pass our qualification of fit for use in professional simulation environments when combined with 3D perception technology. Simulator systems have an array of differing projection requirements. Needs may be high resolution, low latency, or extreme contrast; no single projector technology today meets all the requirements, so in most cases the chosen technology is a compromise. In addition, other factors such as light output, night vision goggle suitability, weight, size, ruggedness and cost are important to consider. NORTHSTAR SIMULATION CERTIFIED 3D perception provides and integrates a variety of professional projectors from several manufacturers. We offer options for one- or three-chip, DLP and LCoS technologies, and UHP or LED illuminated projectors, along with a wide range of lenses, modules, mounts, and accessories. We customize projection solutions based on application needs.
