BASIC IN GAME SETTINGS
Mode
The basic 3D menu in the game allows you to choose from 3 different display modes:
- Normal 2D
This is the standard display format, with no 3D effect. The game plays just like any other game in this mode. - Anaglyph 3D
This is a special format that uses colored glasses to give a 3D effect. It is not as good as Digital 3D, but all TVs can support this as long as you have the correct colored glasses. - Digital 3D
This full digital 3D mode gives the best results. You will need a compatible 3D TV and the appropriate glasses in order to view the game with this setting.
Type
If you select Anaglyph 3D the second option will allow you to choose from a selection of different colored glasses. Use this to select the colors that most closely match the glasses you have.
- Red / Blue
- Red / Cyan
- Red / Green
- Blue / Yellow
- Green / Pink
Please note that the first color should always go over your LEFT eye. If your glasses have the second color over the left eye you can change the order of the eyes in game using the Advanced In Game Settings.
Format
If you select Digital 3D you can use this option to select the correct Digital 3D format for your TV.
If your TV is a 3D Ready® or DLP® display, then typically you should choose Checkerboard mode.
LCD displays tend to use Horizontal Interlace mode, while projectors tend to use side by side or top and bottom modes.
If you are unsure which mode is correct for your TV, please check our list of Compatible 3D displays.
- Checkerboard
- Horizontal Interlace
- Vertical Interlace
- Top and Bottom
- Side by Side
ADVANCED IN GAME SETTINGS
As well as being able to select different Modes and 3D formats the game also gives you a number of advanced options to fine tune your 3D experience.
EYE ORDER
Different 3D displays expect the images for the left and right eyes to be supplied to them in different orders. Some expect the left eye first and some expect the right eye first.
If you have the correct Digital 3D mode or colored glasses type selected, but the image still appears incorrectly when viewed with your glasses on, try changing this option. It may be that your display is expecting a different eye to be displayed first.
SCREEN WIDTH
The size of your screen will affect the perceived depth of the 3D image. You should use this option to tell the game how wide your screen is. The game will then adjust the strength of the 3D effect to best suit your TV size.
Please note that you need to select the horizontal width of your screen and NOT the diagonal size!
BRIGHTNESS
Some Digital 3D displays will cause the image to appear darker than normal when viewing in 3D mode.
You can use this option to increase the brightness of the game to compensate for this, rather than having to adjust the brightness setting on your display each time you want to view in 3D mode.
This option is only available when Digital 3D mode is selected.
SATURATION
Some people find it easier to see the Anaglyph 3D effect when the image they are viewing is less colorful. You can use this option to reduce the color saturation in the game when viewing with colored anaglyph glasses.
This option is only available when Anaglyph mode is selected.
STEREO STRENGTH
If you find that the 3D effect is uncomfortable, you can reduce the effect using this slide control. The closer to zero you set it, the more comfortable it will be to view the 3D effect. A setting of zero will be completely flat.
DEPTH BIAS
Some people find that objects that project out of the screen, or that appear very close to them, are uncomfortable to view or look slightly blurry. If this is the case, you can use this option to adjust how far 3D objects will project out of the screen.
Try adjusting the value towards zero (no outward projection) to reduce the effect or towards 100 if you desire a more exaggerated 3D effect!
SETTING UP YOUR DISPLAY
NATIVE RESOLUTION IS A MUST FOR DIGITAL 3D DISPLAYS
3D displays require exact pixel matching as scaling the image breaks the 3D formatting. Therefore, the console’s display resolution must be the same as the native resolution of the display:
- Most displays are 1920x1080 (full HD) and these should work on Xbox 360® and PLAYSTATION®3.
- Some are 1280x720 (half HD), which should also work on Xbox 360® and PLAYSTATION®3.
- A few displays are different resolutions (one common resolution is 1360x768). The PLAYSTATION®3 does not currently support these different resolutions and these displays will not be able to work with the PLAYSTATION®3 version of the game.
- The Xbox 360® has an ‘Optimal’ display setting, which automatically matches the native resolution and should enable 3D to work.
"3D DLP®"& "3D READY®" COMMON ISSUES
You must use the correct HDMI Port
The console must be linked to the TV via the correct HDMI port. Typically only one HDMI port on a TV accepts the 3D signal (usually HDMI 3). Check your TV manual for details.The TV needs 3D input enabled
In your TV’s ‘Picture Options’ set 3D enabled and turn on. If ‘Picture Options’ is grayed out and not available for selection, you may not be connecting through the correct HDMI port or the console may be outputting the wrong resolution for 3D to work.Mode 1 or Mode 2 in 3D option
This refers to left eye first or right eye first, which can be set within the TV or the game. If it is set incorrectly the closest imagery in the game will look far away and vice versa and a double image will display.
Using the correct format
- There is a vast array of 3D input formats. Blitz Arcade has tried to accommodate them all in terms of compatibility. However, when setting up your system you will need to ensure you choose the correct format.
- DLP® and 3D Ready® TVs tend to use the checkerboard format as default.
- LCD monitors typically use horizontal interlacing.
- Vertical interlacing’, side-by-side and top and bottom are used for some 3D setups and have been included.
TYPES OF GLASSES
There are various types of 3D glasses available and you will need to ensure that you have the correct type for your display.
Shutter Glasses
- These need power (via batteries) and pulse at 120hz in synchronization with the TV’s frame refresh.
- They are used with 3D DLP® and plasma screens and some newer 120hz LCDs.
- Shutter glasses synchronize from the TV and NOT the USB. Glasses that use USB (for example, nVidia® 3D Vision glasses) will only work via the 3D Sync lead, which needs to be plugged in to the TV.
Polarized Glasses
There are two types of Polarized Glasses available. The type you need to use will depend on your model of TV:
- Linear Polarization – These are the same as IMAX 3D® and are used by some of the PC 3D gaming monitors.
- Circular Polarization – These are the same as Real-D® and are used by some of the more expensive 3D displays (some high end LCDs, including XPOL® monitors).
Anaglyph (red/blue or red/green etc. colored glasses)
- Anaglyph is an extremely old technology and people must be aware that it will change the colors used in the game as well as giving a 3D effect. The 3D experience is nowhere near the standard of Digital 3D. However, the game does support various color combinations of these glasses for people that do not have access to a Digital 3D display.
EMITTERS (Synchronization Modules)
Emitters (also sometimes called Synchronization Modules) are required by Shutter glasses. They are used to synchronize the blanking of the left and right eyes with the images being displayed on the TV.
- Emitters are most commonly placed on top of the display to help ensure they are within range of shutter glasses.
- Emitters need to be paired with the correct glasses.
- They are NOT interchangeable between different brands of shutter glasses.
COMPATIBLE 3D DISPLAYS
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS INFORMATION COLLATED BY THE STUDIO AND IS IN NO WAY INTENDED TO RECOMMEND PARTICULAR MODELS OF TVs TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT INVINCIBLE TIGER. ALL INFORMATION ON THIS HELP PAGE IS ADVICE ONLY.
This information is to guide people through the process of setting up the correct 3D TVs with the appropriate glasses and emitters (when using shutter glasses) in order to play Invincible Tiger in digital 3D.
Blitz Arcade has attempted to support as many formats and TVs as possible. As more TVs are added to the market, Blitz Arcade will endeavor to support new 3D displays where possible.
- Invincible Tiger has been designed to work with all 3D Ready® TVs and a selection of PC 3D gaming displays.
- The PLAYSTATION®3 and Xbox 360® can run 3D Stereoscopic Displays via the HDMI.
- You can plug HDML into an HDMI to DVI converter which will work with 3D LCD monitors such as Zalman, but you will lose the audio.
Please let Blitz Arcade know of missing or incorrect information on this site. Email invincibletiger@blitzgamesstudios.com
Glasses types are listed as Shutter, Circular polarized (Real D) or Linear polarized (IMAX). You will need to purchase the correct glasses to match your display. See the Useful Links section for more information about glasses and emitters.

TROUBLESHOOTING
| Q. | My 3D Ready® TV won’t allow me to change to 3D mode. |
|---|---|
| A. | The console output resolution MUST be the same as the Native resolution of the TV. It’s also possible the console is not plugged in the correct HDMI port or that the 3D emitter is not plugged in. |
| Q. | The picture is kind of 3D but looks wrong. |
| A. | Try swapping left/right eye settings. |
| Q. | On my LCD the 3D image looks broken or it’s rippled. |
| A. | The image is being scaled and broken. Ensure the console is set to the correct output resolution and that the monitor is set to 1:1 display mode. |
| Q. | The 3D TV is in the 3D mode but all I see is a double image. |
| A. | Ensure the emitter is in view of the 3D glasses you are wearing. Check the batteries are working and that the glasses are turned on. |
| Q. | Why can the game not auto-detect my TV type. |
| A. | It is not possible to detect all the information required via consoles at this time. Also, in tests we found that many displays report the wrong information. |
