RBT Mounts "Back in Black"

I'm intrigued by the discussion regarding black and white sided mounts
I'm a confirmed RBT user of mounts and projectors and my understanding 
was that white towards lamps and black towards screen as confirmed by
Alexander Klein.

One other point, a friend started mounting his RBT mounts with both sides
white!!!  (I don't know what he thought the black bits were for?)  When he
put
these in his projector (RBT) the autofocus had a hard time deciding where
it
should be and there was also some transmission of visible light to the
screen
as the white mounts are not completely opaque.  Therefore I assume that
black opaque mounts prevent infra red transmission from the lamps and into 
the focus sensing mechanism.

They are not for everyone, but they are certainly for me.

ps. I'm brand new on this list.  I'm an Adventure Sports Photographer, 3-D
of
course and use a RBT X2 amongst other cameras including Olympus XA twin
and a "Burdlo" Nimslo conversion.  I specialise in Cave photography and the

fabulous slot canyons of Sydney's Blue Mountains.  I'd like to hear if it
is possible
to convert colour 3-D images to red/green anaglyph in the computer?  What 
software, how, where etc?
