SimulView - will it work with any 3D TV? - Page 2

The only reason to spoof the EDID is for games -- to make the PS3 go into SimulView mode. If you are trying to watch movies one-eye, as far as the PS3 is concerned, there is no reason to go into SimulView mode. We don't know exactly how the Sony glasses decide whether or not to enable the button to allow SimulView mode. It could just be whether they sense a Sony IR protocol, or it may also be that they will not go into that mode unless they receive a special IR token that is peculiar to the TV they are selling.

To find out what the Sony glasses do exactly would require more research with the Sony set and glasses, and trying to trick them would require hacks that only a technophile would be up for.

It is really a shame that most manufacturers have stopped producing (or in some cases, never have produced) glasses that support a one-eye mode for people who have conditions that make 3D unwatchable. I think it is something they should take flak for... maybe the folks at http://www.ataccess.org/ might be persuaded to write a "strongly worded letter" to manufacturers... or if they don't byte maybe NORD would do so.

In the meantime, until we know whether the X104s (not cheap) can be "tuned" into one-eye mode, your choices are the glasses sets listed above in the thread, or any other glasses that might be out there which nobody has mentioned. Unless you can solder, that is...

Yes the 3D industry has screwed itself up big time in making this amazing yet most controversial technology widely accepted by not providing such extra functionality right from the 1st generation of glasses and TV to make it easier to switch from 2D to 3D. Other thing they could have done to make 3D adoption seamless is to standardize the glasses from day one and also provide user controls to tune out cross talk (like Monster glasses).

Hi, can you analyse IR codes for sony ps3 3d glasses?
I would like to make
TV IR/RF -> SyncSignal ->Ardiuno Board receiver -SyncDecoder-transmitter -> SimulView IR Signal -> Playstation 3D Glasses
xttp://www.mtbs3d.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=14338

Has anyone tried these glasses with JVC projectors?

I just ordered a Gefen HDMI Detective in order to get the SimulView option on my PS3. I have a Panasonic VT25 television.

What options do I have for glasses? The Panasonic has an IR transmitter, so am I limited to RealD CrystalEyes 4s glasses? Are there other ones that have the option to pick right or left eye only modes?

i need IR-CODES from ps3 Sony PlayStation 3D Display to send it without ps3 display.
can anybody read infrared impulses from 3d Display?
my project steps
1.samsung IR gasses on samsung RF TV / on all active 3DTV(Arduino board)
30% ready http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy1kN...layer_embedded
glasses work without my plasma
2.sony ps3 glasses on all active sync 3dtvs
i need information like this
http://cmst.curtin.edu.au/local/docs...3D-Sync-IR.pdf
about 3D Sync Protocol from Sony 3D Display to make step 2 possible

if anybody have this information please send me a mail at nitrogen14/AT/gmx.de
thanks!

@wildchild22
thx

Does anyone know if there is software that I can use to take the above EDID information and output it through my computer's HDMI output? I could then use the HDMI detective to read that, versus having to go to a store and try to convince them to let me hook it up. I already tried that at GameStop, but the HDMI cable is locked inside a cabinet behind the TV, and the guy there didn't have the key.

OK, So I have been following this Thread and now that the Simulview is only $299 and comes with 2 3d glasses and 2 games at certain retailers, Gamestop and Bestbuy, i am sure more of us will be willing to experiment.

So i now have the Simulview and had a friend bring over his PS3 to experiment with one PS3 hooked up to Simulview Monitor, while the other was hooked up to my Epson3010.

What I found out was that the normal 3D mode of my Epson3010 took presidence over the simulview mode of the Simulview display, when it came to the PS3 3D glasees. Every time I would turn on a simulview game on the system connected to the Epson projector, the Simulview mode on the glasses would go back to normal 3D mode, and I could not switch them back.

Is there a reasonable way to block the signal from the Epson 3010 projector to the 3d glasses, without building a lead case around my projector?

Are there any ideas or experiments that i could try to help all of us find a solution to this cheaper alternative of getting simulview mode to work on the larger TVs and Projectors?

try putting a black tape around the lense where you see red LEDs

but it seems a very expensive to buy a PS3 monitor for this to work !

You can get Simulview working on any TV/PJ even if not 3D capable, the latest high end gadget from HDfury is doing that perfectly.

My 3DFury arrived yesterday, and I found that I would need to run it with my Infocus X10 at 1080p60hz. None of the glasses that I currently have 4 DLP-Link and 4 IR were compatible with 60hz, so I ended up ordering some of the Monstervision Max 3D RF glasses off of Amazon through TheFactoryDepot, they are currently on closeout through them, as it appears that Monster has decided to opt out of the 3d glasses business. These are Bit Cauldron RF glasses, and were the other option recommended by HDFury outside of their own RF glasses. Hope that helps.

Don't think that they Monsters can do L-L or R-R though, so that defeats using for Simulview.

Just a couple things to update this thread to the "state of the art":

1) While the Gefen HDMI Detective can be used for defeating the EDID lock on the PS3, an easier (programmable by USB, rather than actually having to find a SCEA monitor to read the EDID from) solution is the "Dr HDMI" product from HDFury. SimulView-emulating codes are posted on their website. A friend of mine just got one so I got to verify that it works personally.

2) With the latest firmware update, the XPAND X104 glasses allow L-L or R-R mode by double-clicking the power button while 3D is active.

Now if we only had had two pairs of X104s instead of just one... :-)

I called it "SimulView is the future of couch coop gaming" but as a new poster at AVS Forum, I cannot post links (and I truly apologize if my mention of this is regarded as spam).

Man I really wish there was a great way to get this going on the epson 5010 for cheap as that hd fury thing costs more than a new ps3. I have a split screen feature on the epson. I could run one component and an hdmi at the same time

I solve the Sony glasses a/b problem on Samsung
I go to best buy and use the HDMI detective and copy the code and also with my Sony tablet s I add to my remote controller the it command for the simulview so when I pressed the button on my Sony tablet it will make the it commands that do the ps3d TV .then I block the Samsung ir and turn on my glasses by the Sony tablet and put my TV on 3d and the glasses will work a/b on the Samsung thinking that is connected to the ps3d TV

That is a really smart way of doing simuview and thanks for posting. If one does not have a sony tablet then are there any other devices to acquire the commands to send a signal to the sony glasses

An can use an arduino box that sends the commands

There is not that much out there about trying to do this with other TVs. At least not that I could find.

I have a Panasonic VT25 and PS3. If I want to get simulview working it seems these are my options correct?

1 - HDFury IV + Dr HDMI + IR Emitter + 2 pair of glasses = lots of $$

2 - DR Hdmi (or other edid spoofer) + Modded glasses to do LL and RR

3 - DR Hdmi and some kind of other IR emitter + Sony PS3 glasses

The thing I don't understand yet is how do the sony glasses know they are the player 1 or player 2 glasses? I guess the TV sends some special IR codes to the glasses as mentioned above. And that seems to be what you did Edwin Vega, could you maybe provide some more details on this? I would love to setup an arduino board and IR shield to do this.


Thanks guys!

You can get simulview working on any TV, 3Dfury and Dr HDMI from team HDfury will do the work perfectly.

Is it possible to configure the playstation, sony tv and then put in my 3d tv and not set again will be the playstation will find q is a sony tv??
I wonder if other emulators edid?

it is very possible to get simulview on a non Sony Television
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJQ7y-qifog&hd=1

We already know it is possible. The next step is to find way so of doing it cheaper.

Dr HDMI - $99
2 pairs of xPand 104s - about $130 on Amazon

Anyone know if 104's block the DLP Link flash on older Samsung sets? I'd hate to spend all this money and have to suffer with tinted blacks.

Just purchased an LG 47LM7600 set. It has a built-in feature called "Dual Play". No need for simulview or hdmi detective, once I go split-screen w/ 3D turned on (2D upconvert or stereoscopic) all I have to do is specify horizontal or vertical splitscreen within the tv's 3D settings and the tv does the work of creating the full-screen image for each player. I'm new to 3D sets, but I found this one very impressive (especially for a passive set). I feel like I practically stole this set from Amazon at $999 and it came with 6 pairs of 3D glasses. I know, it's no $300 sony simulview set, but $999 for a 47" full featured edge-lit LED 3D set that does the work of simulview without having to mess about with in-game settings and retails closer to $1500-$1900 seemed like a no-brainer for me.

I'm willing to bet that a lot more of the new generation of 3D sets will start to incorporate this type of tech and basically render simulview obsolete. Great for consumers and video game programmers... not so great for Sony marketing.

For those with the PS3 3D Glasses and a Epson 3010.

My question is that do I need the Sony 3D Emitter as well or do the glasses work fine just with the Epson 3010 out of the box?


Thanks
