Someone else knows more about these things than me, but I think "stereo" in this case refers to that double-barreled lens. I believe this camera does place two simultaneous images side by side and is used as a projection lens. I believe Zoe Beloff has used such a rig for her 3-D films (which are projected through a dual-barreled-lens projector and use polarizing filters and 3-D glasses).
