Section 9 – 3D Support
The Radiance supports HDMI 1.4 “3D”. This includes 3D video source switching, 3D processing, 3D scaling,
3D aspect ratio control, and a number of 3D format conversions. The Radiance can stretch 3D images for a
2.35 screen on systems that use an anamorphic lens. The Radiance can accept HDMI 1.4 “3D” material and
output either the left-eye or right-eye image, for dual projector 3D systems that use passive 3D glasses. The
Radiance can also be used to display 3D on many 2D displays, such as a CRT display or projector.
If HDMI Output 1 on the Radiance is connected to a non-3D AVR the Radiance can automatically turn off
video on that output when selecting a 3D video source. Most or all non-3D AVR’s get confused if you try to
send them a 3D video signal.
Any HDMI cable, with good electrical characteristics, will work for displaying HDMI 1.4 3D video on 3D
displays.
3D Types
The Radiance can receive all the commonly used 3D types. The Radiance has options to convert 3D types,
which are not supported by your 3D display, to a format supported by the display. For example the
Radiance automatically converts optional 3D formats into required 3D formats. For CRT displays all
supported 3D formats are converted to 3D Frame Sequential. This allows 2D CRT displays/projectors to
display 3D images.
Frame Packed
The 1080p24 3D frame-packed mode consists of a frame that contains a full resolution left eye image, 45-
pixel active buffer, and a full resolution right eye image. Bluray movies use this 3D type and are stored on
the disk at 1920x2205/24.
Side-by-Side
Consists of a frame that contains Side-By-Side sub-frames for the left eye and right eye images. Set top
boxes and PC’s use this 3D type.
Top-Bottom
Consists of a frame that contains Top-Bottom sub-frames for the left eye and right eye image. Set top boxes
and PC’s use this 3D type.
Frame Sequential
Consists of individual frames of left eye and right eye images that are transmitted sequentially. Some 2D
CRT and other 2D digital displays can be driven with this 3D type in order to display 3D images. For this
case, an external IR Glass Driver is needed to drive the 3D active glasses.
