Brainwarp Software Progress?

Although it may be that the shutters work at those speeds, I hope not, because the probability of giving problems would be high, I understand that instead of being what I say, to take 2K of data per eye and then stretch them to fill the 4K of one of the panels, while blocking the image of the other panel, Do you think they are using 1K for each eye at the same time, but in two stages, blocking half panel of each screen? Is that?

I do not know if it will be true or false, but they are quite clear in the explanation: first they draw all the image for one eye and erase (or cover) the whole image of the other; then do the same with the next frame, exchanging the roles. The whole process for both eyes is repeated 80 (or 82) times per second, I imagine that thanks to a screen (erased or covered) waiting for the other to finish drawing, then the 160 half frames per second would come out, the other halves are left to be imagined by the brain, that is very good at this kind of thing.

Two shutters (if any) at 80Hz are better than running at 160Hz.

We Will see.

@Matthew.Xu or @PimaxVR, how does this work exactly, can you please explain?

I am yet to decode why use 2xHDMI in V1/V2, instead of 1xDP, I now read that ANX7530 does support Stacked frames, but on Quad MIPI-DSI don’t. When using 1DP you can’t send 1440p@180Hz, that is required to insert frames ASW generated to reduce perceived MTP. I think they used 2x(HDMI/DP) to allow async refresh on panels, and are using Brainwarp all the time. I was suspecting panels can’t accept native 4K@90, that they can get to 90Hz with DSC, but issue is probably 90Hz is stable only in async mode. Maybe paranoid, probably not :slight_smile: .
In sync mode, panel is stable 60/75Hz, I guess you can push to 82Hz, as they did, 90Hz you need async. With 2xHDMI panel was in async 90Hz mode @Matthew.Xu comment?

@SpecsReader, I am yet to decode why use 2xHDMI in V1/V2, instead of 1xDP,

Don’t over think it… simply because the analogix reference design or their design with the ANX7530 was not ready when they “hit the road” they used 2 normal hdmi MIPI board and some hot glue. Would be a good reason no?

the ANX7530 was just announced in January 2017 for the CES. I wouldn’t be surprised if the ANX7530 HDK was only available recently…

It is double the frame rate, half the eyes. More motion info into the brain, which mixes down vision cues.

Is there actually one comment from a pimax empoyee in this entire tread?

I started this particular thread and uh… no.

OMG. I first saw the streamable.com link early in the day but could not hear the audio because of the environment. Several hours later, my son and I clicked it and laughed our butts off. That clip says all that can be said about brainfart so far.

My reaction was the opposite because it’s not an laughing matter since it’s supposed to be a feature that benefits the HMD’s.

I don’t take it that hard. Never bought into brainwarp and instead plan to invest in the top tier hardware.
