3DTV Play 1080p SBS support Side by Side support
  2 / 7    
photios,
I have no idea the implementation details regarding Video mode. I can only describe it in terms of the visual differences which I became aware of four years ago.

demowhc,
Yes, it's possible to switch from Video mode to PC mode back and firth via the TV's menu, i.e. disable Video mode = switch to PC mode. I think this can be done on most brands, I know how to do it only on a samsung. As to scaling, scaling works very well on broadcast video , but doesn't work on PC graphics.

No I think you misunderstand me, I mean can you disable the video processing that makes 3D look worse with in the TV's [i]hidden[/i] service menu. I dont mean simply renaming the source to PC mode and activating the PC profile. I mean permanently disable the video processing that frame packing forces on in 3D mode.

And scaling does seem to work on PC graphics, if you have ever used an Xbox you can set it to output 1080p or any other resolution (1680x1050 etc) to your display even though the game runs at 720p. The end result is crisper with the 360 hardware scaler, PS3 software scaler has poorer results..

And why is that? Sure it looks horrible in movies because it makes them too smooth with the "soap opera effect", but smooth is exactly what you want in games. It takes your 24fps input and creates 6ofps output.

Anyway, it seems only slower games where vsync can be used are playable with this method, faster games like FPS where you need to disable vsync in 24hz mode show too much tearing and artifcats from the interpolation. A few slower 3rd person games work flawlessly though, you cannot tell the difference between 24hz and 60hz because you really are seeing 60fps per eye, aswell as having the image at full 1080p.

Looks like I'll use Tridef most of the time, interpolation method in games its usable and 3DTV play for any games the other 2 methods dont work.

The sheer number of artifacts and fake look it creates, I haven't tried it in 3d but I have played assassins creed with motion interpolation on and a few others and all I can say is /bloated.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':X' /> . I am more then a bit of a snob when it comes to audio and video though and if you think it works that is all that matters for you. /stud.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':stud:' />

It only work well in games that it doesnt produce artifacts. There is no difference with motion compared to a real 60fps and it doesnt create a "fake" look with video games, becuase they are fake...

I noticed motion interpolation sort of helps the problem of low framerate to a certain extent since it inserts new frames. Adds too much input lag on my NX711 Sony. In my opinion, it also makes games look more real, since that is what the human eye is used to seeing. I use it when watching the mission videos of the 6th Sense clan (is that the right word anymore?) on youtube; playing Arma2. Juries still out though. No artifacts what-so-ever. With movies i find it horrible.

Also, i'd advocate top/bottom support over sbs since passive 3DTVs get half resolution as well in that mode. Both my NX711 and my Sharp LE835 active 3D Tvs support it. So i assume most do, but really can't draw a conclusion. A day or less research for an Nvidia staff member with Nvidia connections?

Yes Side by Side and Top/bottom both need to be added, 720p framepacking just doesnt cut it.

As for the frame interpolation, it depends on the TV, I tried it on my other 2009 Samsung Plasma (in 2D to test) and it doesnt insert as many frames so it still doesnt look like 60fps, but more like 48fps while also having far more artifacts, but on the 2011 LED model its almost perfect but could still do with some improvement. PS3 games love it though, probably because they are running at higher than 24fps meaning less frames need to be inserted. There are no artifacts at all using the PS3.

+1 on SBS, Top/Bottom and maybe Line by Line interlaced? 3D.
That would also support passive 3D monitors like my LG D2342P.

What a Stretch...LOL.

maybe once we jump 60-> 120 I'd even try it

In other words the idiots will have to be removed before anything happens. I still can't believe some of what Andrew said, truly disgusting levels of ignorance.

Hi All

I am well aware of the request to add side/side support.

I have said it earlier this year, and I wills ay it again that this feature is on our roadmap, its just behind other features right now that other users have requested. We will add this feature to future drivers.

Andrew,
I really hope you have thick skin for such comments. It's really embarrassing, in every way, that such polemic is used toward you considering the tireless effort you've put forward in supporting this community's needs. I hope my opinion reflects the opinion of the community by and large.

On another note, it is a little disappointing that CB & SBS have not been implemented into the roadmap for 3DTV Play in a more prompt manner (without some kind of ballpark time frame), but I understand that only so much can be done with given resources that only Nvidia 3D Team knows.

Both are types are important as checkerboard covers Mitsubishi 1.4a DLPs and side-by-side covers every other HDMI 1.4a TV.

Regards,
photios

I totally understand the frustration in not having it sooner. I can tell you we are committed to adding it, we just have a lot of other features on our roadmap.

Im trying to get a better ballpark out of our software engineering team.

Checkerboard also covers most Samsung HDMI 1.4 HDTVs, though they seem to have dropped that mode for some particular 2011 models. Also waiting for the CB support a long time now, using the Gefen DVI-Detective HDMI 1.3 EDID workaround in the meantime.

Testing just a Samsung SyncMaster SA950 in side-by-side mode I can say the checkerboard mode is clearly a superior format compared to side-by-side:

- The overall image quality is better, especially on edges
- It supports windowed applications (games)
- It does not cause desktop disortion after leaving a game

i'm so excited !!!


For information, my Panasonic VT30 supports both SBS and Top/Bottom modes, but i think all 2011 TVs do.
