Question about IR transmitter
I have a Samsung 3D-Ready DLP TV (Model HL-T6187S) and i had two question about the IR transmitter that comes in the 3D vision kit.

1) Can you use glasses from other companies with the nVidia IR transmitter?

2) Will the transmitter work with the TV for inputs that are not connected to the computer (ex: PS3, Direct TV, etc.)?

I would greatly appreciate any information!

1: Don't know. Probably not, unless they used a standard system. There might be some that work though.

2: No. You know that usb from the transmitter to your computer? It's sending signals from the 3D vision driver to your video card and the transmittor. Your tv wouldn't have that going for it. But that being said, if you managed to get the timing correct, you could probably have something 3D playing on your computer and see what is on TV in 3D.

Also, there is plug for some projectors, not sure if that can be exploited for anything, but possible (i'd like to hook one of the many wired glasses I have around to it so someone else could watch the games at the same time, or movie).

Well, the other glasses would still be LCD shutter that are designed to communicate with an IR transmitter.

Also the reason for the second question is that there are two ports on the back of the transmitter. One is the usb connection, while the other is a VESA port for plugging into the TV. Does this mean that the IR transmitter can only receive info from the usb? And if thats the case, what does the VESA port do?

The NVidia transmitter uses a proprietary protocol, so it won't work with other shutter glasses.
There was some talk than the XpandD x103's might be compatible, but I don't see any metion in the current specs and you can't buy them as far as I can see.

If it won't work with other glasses, will it also not work with other devices such as the PS3 through my 3D-Ready DLP's VESA IR Sync port?

the vesa port is for syncing with DLP 3dtvs i think.

I know the port is for syncing with the TV, the question is whether the IR adapter can be used with the TV but without a computer.
