Enjoy a Totally Immersive 3D TV Experience
The lightweight, high-gloss Monster Vision MAX 3D glasses allow users to wear them for hours without experiencing any vision fatigue. Notably, because it is the first and only Active Shutter system using RF technology, MAX 3D glasses allow users unprecedented freedom of movement while viewing, creating a new type of relaxed yet powerful 3D experience. They are currently available for a suggested retail price of $229.95 per RF Transmitter and Eyewear set. Additional Monster Vision MAX 3D Eyeglasses will carry a suggested retail price of $159.95/pair.
How Monster Vision™ MAX 3D Works
Monster Vision Max 3D utilizes leading-edge RF technology to achieve its stunning results. The system uses Monster Vision Max 3D ACTIVE SYNC technology, based on Bit Cauldron’s innovative HeartBeat technology. The result is an advancement that ensures reliable communication with the RF transmitter, producing the best and purest transmission of 3D content between the source and the eyeglasses and eliminating the common sync issues found in most IR based shutter glasses.
As the first wireless 3D eyewear system of its kind to offer universal compatibility with all major brands of 3D flatscreen TVs, Monster Vision MAX 3D represents a huge advancement in the realm of 3D Shutter eyewear technology. It is also the first and only 3D Shutter eyewear system that utilizes more reliable RF transmission instead of the standard infrared transmission found in TV OEM Glasses, allowing viewers to move freely around the room while watching and still enjoy the full 3D imaging effect. Importantly, with the ability to work with all major 3D TVs, MAX 3D overcomes a huge deficiency in the 3D World today for both consumers and retailers. For consumers, MAX 3D makes choosing accessory eyewear simple, with no worries of compatibility.
The advanced MAX 3DShutter LCD lens technology builds on the higher performance advantages of RF and universal functionality and provides a faster shutter speed than conventional 3D eyewear. MAX 3D’s shutter speeds exceed the performance of TV OEM Glasses, minimizing any symptoms of poor 3D optical effects such as ghosting or dimming. While performance will vary depending on the 3D TV display used, MAX 3D ensures the best possible 3D Shutter performance.
Adding to “right-out-of-the-box” user convenience, the MAX 3D Transmitter includes all of the most current TV Shutter IR Codes frequency codes preprogrammed and stored, so there is no programming time. The USB Port allows MAX 3D’s transmitter to add new codes for future brands of TVs preventing any obsolescence and more value for the customer.
