Quadro 2000M Stereo Output Options
What exactly are the stereo output options for the Quadro (M) cards these days? I'll start the list with the options I think work. I am looking for a solution to output from my laptop (Lenovo W520) over single-cable HDMI (720 is OK, 1080 would be ideal). My personal target device is an Optoma HD33 (tested fine with 3DTV Play, but I understand that isn't an option on Quadro, and either way I'm not interested in DirectX). The list shouldn't be device specific, as I'm sure others are in a similar situation and would benefit from a concise summary of the current working solutions.

It seems that HDMI 1.4a 3D is still in it's infancy when it comes to hardware, as all the usual suspects (BlackMagic, AJA, Matrox, Gefen) are pretty short on converters. One solution that has been rumored to work unreliably is displayport to Dual-stream HDMI to 2x HD-SDI converters and then in to a Blackmagic HDLink and out to HDMI 1.4a, but the problem here is frame sync, accumulated delay and overall cost (>$1k).

Working Solutions:
1.) Displayport to Dual-link DVI (active converter)
2.) Displayport to Dual-stream HDMI (~1.3)

Hey we are in similar boat. I'm also trying to get my W520 (2000M) to hook up to a 3D display. My Sony HMZ-T1 should arrive soon. Not sure if it'll work or not. What's your discovery so far?
