Dear Prover,

Thanks, that means I can only use the internal test pattern and it will look the same when calibrating 2D.

I believe at the moment there is no 3D calibrating disc in the market.

Cheers

Hi Prover,

Have another question. My hdmi cable is only 1.3 must I upgrade to 1.4 for 3D?

Thanks

Hi Prover,

Sorry to trouble you again. I'm very new to HTPC.
When I set my Blu Ray Player example output resolution 1080p, in regard whether I play DVD or Blu Ray it will upscale to 1080p even for DVD.

How about HTPC. If I set 720p/120hz for 3D, when I play 2D material will it output at 1080p or 720P/120hz?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, since I'm a newbie.

Cheers

Hi Began,

yes a dedicated bluray player will upscale everything to 1080p.
On an HTPC you set the resolution e.g. to 720p@120Hz for 3D.
No matter what for material you play (2D DVD, 2D bluray, 3D bluray,
or media-Files) you will output 720p@120Hz. The output of the software
player is being implicitely scaled up (for DVD) or scaled down (for Bluray),
so your output is always what you have set for display resolution.
In this context there is an interesting feature that some players (like PowerDVD Ultra Mark II)
provide for DVD: runtime conversion to 3D. For some films this works pretty well
(e.g. Tron), try out!

Thanks Prover,

That mean I can't watch 2D bluray at 1080p when I set the out resolution at 720p/120hz.

Alternatively I would have to switch resolutions for different material if I doesn't want Bluray to be down convert to 720p.

Am I right.

Dear Prover,

Need your help. Using HTPC to watch movie no problem. If I want to use the PS 3 anyway to connect via the HTPC. I do not have the moome ext box for 3d.

Thanks

Hi Began,

I am not sure I understand right what the problem is. If u want to use PS3 to
play 3D games using 3dvision in HTPC without having the moome box, this is
possible although far from optimum. You have to do the following:

This will allow the glasses to work but there is no synchonization to PS3 unless
you use a DLP-Projector that allows you to synchronize via mini-DIN jack
on Nvidia IR-emitter.

Hi,

Need some help here.

Finally got the Asrock 3D vision HTPC. Unfortunately unable to get 3D picture. Whenever I do the 3d set up it state Non 3D display.

BTW check Nvidia website site Sony G70 is not listed on 3D vision requirement website so how do make nvidia accept G70 as a 3d display.

Thanks
Began
