Resolution needs to be understood here too.
Your camera shoots with a resolution.
For example the Canon D30 is 2160x1440, the Canon 5D is 4320x2880, the Nikon
For this example we will use 2160x1440.
Inside Stereo Photo Maker we compressed the width to 1600 by whatever height would match. 1600 gives us a lot of room to pan the image or zoom out from the image, without going below a 1:1 pixel ratio on the screen, which would begin to look very pixelated.
It is important that inside the editing program we edit the photos with “original aspect ratio”, that is the pictures resolution dictate it’s own aspect ratio. Otherwise your images will look either squished or stretched.
Projectors with reasonable prices work at either 800x600, 1024x768 or 1280x1024 resolution. All three of these resolutions are called 4x3 ratio. You definetly want to render to the Native Resolution of the projectors you will be using. Some “HD” projectors also have rather odd Native Resolutions, which in turn have odd aspect ratio’s. In this case you will render to those resolutions.
For this example we will assume a native projector resolution of 1024x768.
The Acer PD525 Projector (2600 Lumens, 2000:1 Contrast, 2.4 kg, DLP Projector) has a Native Resolution of 1024x768. http://www.projectorcentral.com/Acer-PD525.htm
For this example we will be rendering the left AVI at 1024x768 and the right AVI at 1024x768. The combined final AVI will be 2048x768.
This product from Matrox (not tested by me) should allow you to view at 2048 x 768 at 60, 75 or 85Hz from one VGA outpt. This would be useful for playback from a laptop for instance.
Note: your laptop will need to be able to output at the rather odd resolution of 2048x768 from the VGA port. Some older and cheaper laptops will not allow you to do this.

The computer you use will need to be able to output to 2 seperate monitors, most commonly with a dual head video card, such as have a video card in it. Here is the standard Windows "Display Properties Panel" You can get to this by "right clicking" on the desktop >properties >settings
Nvidia settings to get the “dualspan” mode to work, It MUST be in this mode for WMP to play across 2 monitors. All other modes only allows WMP to play on one screen while playing black on the secondary monitor.
ATI, I’m not to sure, but I’m sure there is something similar in settings.
