DIY 3d IR emitter?

What is the make and model number of your TV?

All you need are these:

According to what many are saying here who are in the know, your DLP has DLP-Link in it. They will be available from XpanD in about 2 weeks.

Then you have to wait for the Mitsubishi 3DC-1000 3D format converter (rumored to sell for about $100) - should be out in a couple of months - and you are good to go. Can buy a 3D BD player if you want (If you already have a PS3, a free 3D BD firmware upgrade is coming later this year) and if you have either CBL or SAT with a current HD STB, you will be able to get 3D programming (which depends on your carrier).

All the DLP 3D ready RPTV's work using a 3D format called Checkerboard. here is a LINK from TI - the inventor of the DLP MMD chip explaining all about it. There is more than one 3D format. 3D BD will use what is called frame packed 1080x24p. Looks like this (that is a single frame BTW):



And there is another 3D format called Side-by-Side (CBL and SAT) which looks like this only the images are squeezed to retain their 1.78 aspect ratio:



What that converter will do in each case, is to convert the 3D format to Checkerboard, the only 3D format your DLP RPTV can use.


Sony's 3DTVs are supposed to be released in June in the USA so IMO, the PS3 3D BD upgrade should happen around that time. There will be two upgrades. one for 3D gaming (first) and the other for 3D BD (second)


Yes - they have been out of stock and again, will be back in stock in 2 weeks. I can verify that, I sent them an Email and they responded. You need to call them.


Neither will work because they are propriatary to their new 3DTV's. No emitter sold.

The frequency of the IR emitters is unknown. No idea where you would get that info. The emitter is built into both the new Samsung 3DTVs and the Panasonic 3DTVs.

You can contact these people to inquire when their DLP-Link glasses will ship. They received rave reviews at CES

Larry,
Is there any reason that the following products won't provide you what you need?

You can then get an adapter box when they come out to convert 3D BR playr output to checkerboard to send to your Mits 3D DLP RPTV.

Larry - what is it about either the Samsung or the Panasonic 3D ASGs that you like, that you don't like with the XpanD ASGs?

Exactly. I don't want to knock the new Samsung or Panasonic ASGs since I haven't tried them, but XpanD has been in the market of making ASGs for a long time, quality ones at that.

Hopefully both the parts and the glases shown in the 7 year old link posted by James are still available since your only othr choice is from the one's you didn't like the reviews of or the DLP-Link glases which do not require an emitter and AFAK can work cocurrently the ones that do.

I have the glasses from the links provided. They're ok, but not the best. I'd only recommend them for testing out 3D, not for sitting through an entire film.

How will you know the correct IR frequency to set the emitter at and are they adjustable as far as frequency?

I would think you could get an adjustable IR led, just look at universal remotes, such as the Harmony.
