driving 3D ir emitter in 3D ready TVs with Quadro cards technical question
Is there a way to drive the internal IR emitter of a Samsung UN55C8000 series TV using quad buffered stereo OpenGl output from a Quadro 4000/5000 card directly?
More specifically, is there a way to take the signal from DisplayPorts (possibly combining them with the output from the 3D stereo DIN port) and feed it into the HDMI ports of such a TV and have IR emitter and active glasses synch? Maybe the 3D stereo DIN part is not required. I am trying to remove the need for extra hardware, such as a 3D Vision emitter and proprietary glasses to run drug design 3D modeling software.
Many thanks for your considerations,
G

I am very curious about this as well. We'd like to get a larger 3dtv for a small conference room and view 3d apps on it as a group using either a Quadro FX 3800 or a 4000. Did you get this figured out (assuming this isn't a hypothetical)? It seems like you should be able to pass the signal from the PC via a DisplayPort- or DVI-to-HDMI converter to the TV and let Samsung's emitter sync with the glasses. Are you saying that the Samsung shutter glasses aren't synching with the tv emitter? Have you tried adjusting the refresh rate in Nvidia's Control Panel to something other than 120hz to see if that makes a difference? I'd love to hear how this is going so please give us an update when possible. Thanks,

Larry

Sorry for thread necro, but I got this to work.

I am a systems administrator at West Virginia University, and one of the systems I admin is a 3D visualization workstation with a Samsung UN55C8000 television connected as a large format display. We are driving this display with a standard DP-to-HDMI adapter attached from a Quadro 5000. I got this to display 3D content using the Samsung glasses by following these steps:

1) Update your Quadro drivers to the latest version. There were some fixes made in a certain version (don't remember which one) that ensure that eye selection works properly, among other things.
2) Attach a DP to HDMI cable/adapter to your Quadro card.
3) Attach the other end of that cable to the HDMI port on the Samsung TV labeled "1(DVI)".
4) On the TV, go to the menu and under "Input" select "Edit Name". A list of inputs will pop up.
5) Scroll down to the option that says "HDMI1/DVI". Change it to say PC. This will allow 3D content and audio over HDMI.

Those steps should get you working on this series of Samsung 3D TVs.
