How does DLP-Link work ?

Well, in theory, it should sync exactly 120 times per second (the refresh rate of a 3d signal).
Advatnages of DLP over rf/ir setups: No separate emitter needed; glasses can be slightly cheaper than similar ir or rf glasses; reasonable compatibility across several manufacturers; won't interfere with remote controls or wifi products.
Disadvantages: Use limited to compatible dlp-tech displays; some people complain of color shift due to white flash; usually cannot tune delay/duty cycle; need line-of-sight or sync is lost (true of ir as well, but not rf).

I hope you are not going to use DirecTV with that setup. Unless something has changed, checkerboard is NOT supported by D* receivers.

The converter for most all standard 3D sources to Checkerboard are relatively inexpensive.
The OP did mention front projection specifically though.

This is not really correct. The L/R images are displayed in sequence, alternating L/R 120 times per second, in sync with the shutters on the glasses. It's very fast, but it's not "at one time". If the two views were displayed simultaneously with active glasses, it would ruin the 3d effect.

Upon quick search FPs seem to use frame sequential. RPs use Checkerboard. DLP-Link works with both of them because of the full white image "signal" shown between frames ?
So, looks like FPs potentially offer better resolution than checkerboard RPs. FPs can be 1080 for each eye, depending on the source. I like this already

I use Direct TV 3D with my Checkerboard only Mitsu DLP as well as my frame seq. FP in the theater.
I do have converters for both to make this happen though.
Both systems use the DLP link glasses.

It's actually the crosstalk test image from this thread displayed in 3D mode. The image for the left eye is black on the bottom half with numbers on the top half, while the right eye image is the opposite.

Interesting in that I have always read its' a white flash?
Not sure, but the same glasses work on my Mitsu and my 720p Front Projector.
