3D projector using Infitec method? - Page 8

I have some time to wait for the perfect solution as I am starting from scratch and want to first build out a great 2D experience. What options are there for mid-range projectors to use with a setup like this?

Pterodactyl, we should wait for your product to hit market and not bother investing in Dolby 3D calibration lenses/glasses, is that correct? Infitec is going to provide better gear for this type of application?

I want this kind of setup for movies, for the family and a 3D surround system for gaming on the PC (which I'm sure there are better threads to talk about that). For now I'm just enjoying 3D Vision Discover and my avisynth script to convert stuff to anaglyph.

I hope to see this materialize soon!

@yunti: currently the box supports only frame packed 720p to dual outputs; 720p frame sequential would be simple to add (unless there are some yet unknown AMD or Nvidia specifics).

Either way, a device that could demux the 1080p60 for each eye from an NVidia setup is definitely the "missing link" in my dream system right now, and I would pay extra for that NVidia functionality, even if it meant you had to pay a license fee to them.

I'd love to think that NVidia would start supporting 120hz 1080p 3D over displayport, but I just don't get the feeling that they are feeling the competitive pressure from AMD yet - even though AMD is now putting displayport on their newer cards.

Who knows - but I definitely want the 120hz support as well, so add my name to the others who have chimed in here.

Just ordered a new Sandy Bridge-E system in preparation for the new NVidia 670/680 cards - so I'm really counting on something to "come through" in terms of a new development that will allow me to get the most from it.

Have a look here: http://3dvision-blog.com/7107-3d-vis...t-or-xl2420tx/

However only DL DVI supports multi screen 3d vision. It isn't supported over HDMi or displayport (although it's more likely they will add this to displayport in the future - they view HDMI as used on tv's not monitors and they don't see a market for multi tv setups just monitors)

I can't remember the displayport 1.1a spec off hand but I think it's just frame sequential not frame packed. So Nvidia probably added their own custom extra info to the signal as Pterodactyl mentioned they do for DL Dvi. - suggesting that a license will be needed. (or EDID spoofing of that Benq monitor) But Pterodactyl you'll know more on this than I do.

If 1080p 120hz is included would the output be thru HDMI, that way a dual setup bought now would be ready for it in the future? DisplayPort/DVI---> 3D Box---> 2x HDMI---> Projectors

So far we are going with 120Hz support. I'm told we are going to start the production as soon as objectively possible. I may get some concrete dates during this month.

Sounds awesome - I'm stoked.
