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.
