Mitsubishi 3D Checkerboard Converter + Gefen HDMI Detective = 3D on Samsung HL61A750 - Page 23

@ Geaux, what I do is use the toslink out to my avr receiver when playing 3D through the mits box with hdmi direct to the TV. That will give you 5.1 surround. When I am not watching a 3D movie or game, I unplug that hdmi cable (which I have labeled 3D) and plug in another that goes to the avr and reset the PS3 to output audio through hdmi for the full meal deal Use two separate hdmi inputs on the TV, one for 3D and one for regular hdmi non-3D (on my Sammy DLP it's hdmi 3 for 3D)[If you get a Harmony remote you can program one action for "watch movie" and another for "watch 3d"...] A slight pain, but then you can have it all - you just have to get off the couch!

I too can and will vouch for GREAT Technical Assistance from TRU3D Co. They sure gave me ALL the help that I needed in setting up my Adapter etc.

+1 for success here.

HLT5687S
3DA-1 manufactured in August 2010 (bought open box from vanns.com for $49)
PS3.
I did the reset on the IDA-1 with 3D button down, then power down also until exactly 1 blink happens (2 blinks and needs to unplug and restart).
detect display in PS3, find it is 3D capable, enter screen size and that's it.

Also note that if you have a computer/laptop with NVidia video card but cannot run the NVidia 3D SW (including control panel) because you do not have the IR adapter form NVidia (sold with glasses...), you can go around that by getting a simulated nvidia IR device made by some guys on a Russian site. (like for Device Simulator Framework and NVidia). So 3D that way is also doable.

Got the 1000 Oct.10 build date reset seemed ok, has double picture. Than got UC DLP link glasses and I'm not having any luck with it working, the screen turns red before any picture but there is no red tint when the picture comes on. It seemed to work for a brief second and than went out. Trying to figure out if I need ir emiter or if something else could be wrong. The room is pretty dark also!

You're manually turning on 3d mode on the Samsung, right?

Yes I am tried both mode 1 and 2

When you say you got the double picture do you mean you got side by side? Or are the images merged?

Got 3D on Directv just have to figure out how to start everything up, was losing 3D when I was changing channels yesterday I'll figure it out. Have to get a 3D disc to see if my oopo will work right also. Thanks

Quick Question, I should be receiveing my 3da1 Oct 2010 Manf Date, but will I need a special hdmi cable? how many will I need? I have an xbox 360(3d), Ps3(3d), and directv(3d). Will I need 1 for each box going into the adapter, and then 1 for the adapter going into tv?

Hi. The 3da-1 only has one input and one output. If you want to use it with multiple sources, you can either manually plug in the souce you are using at the time or you can get a 3d capable switch. I'm personally using the Psyclone PSC47 4 port HDMI switch for my 3d inputs and it works great. I have my XboX360, PS3, PC, and PVR hooked up to it and it passes the signal to the 3da-1 nicely.

I also use a switch. And since I pass audio with optical, any hdmi switch worked. I picked up this one

http://www.meritline.com/hdmi-4-2-tr...--p-33295.aspx

It allows me to switch any of 4 sources into the 3DA-1 and on to the PC input of the TV....or switch any of those sources to another HDMI input on the TV, bypassing the 3DA-1.

OK, and before I pull the trigger on these glasses just wanted to make sure they worked. They seem to be very high quality and good looking glasses as well. Any experience with this company?

They took them down from their site, but here is the Amazon link

and link to their glasses

Sorry about all these questions. I know that DLP Link glasses like the ultra clears dlp link, you do not need an emitter, like the ones I posted above, but as far as picture quality, what would look better/clearer 3d picture. It seems like a FAQ sheet of glasses I found somewhere earlier, made it sound like IR (NXGdr) was better for our tv's and provided better picture though.

I got the Psyclone because it has discrete optical audio inputs/output that I needed to send the video signal to the HDTV and the audio to my receiver. The switch works in lieu of an HDMI receiver.

EJ

so if my receiver is hdmi 1.3 and I get the 3d compliant hdmi switcher, I'm good...don't need a 1.4 reciever? correct?

Great Job!!

Anyone utilizing these new methods to get 3D and no longer need their Gefen device and wants to sell it PM me.

I think this may answer an open question I have in another thread. How does this switcher compare to this one offered by Monoprice? Anyone tried this one using the 3DA-1 (or equivalent)?
