Full Frame Packed 3D Resolution 3840x1080 is Not Supported X
(WDTV does not support it, most probably due to extra processing power required of the CPU / GPU
and the design specs of the Sigma Chipset)
Depending on the Brand and Age of your 3D TV … older TV’s you have to manually switch to the 3D Mode your require.
Newer TV’s (My Panasonic) Automatically detect a 3D Signal (Done via image analysis and switches to the correct 3D mode) my TV does this 99% of the time, but in some cases i have to manually set the 3D mode.
3D Frame Packing is not supported (WDTV only do 1 Frame/Video)
(Frame Packing refers to the combination of two frames, one for the left eye and the other for the right eye, into a single “packed” frame that consists of these two individual sub-frames.)
3D Packed Frames are MVC which MKV doesent Support (Thus WDTV won’t support MVC)
Combining the 2 Full Frames at full Resolution 3840x1080 (when you rip the bluray) is out of spec.
You’ll have to settle for Half-SBS or Half OU … that’s the only way
But looking around the net … found this player, that apparently can.
(More than Double the Price (US $312.88) of the WDTV SMP … but, hey, you pay for what you get or want)
The Blurb:
Himedia 900B can truly decodes, playback and outputs High Definition 3D/2D 1080p videos through HDMI 1.4 interface. This player is able to play Blu-ray 3D ISO(Frame Packing), SideBySide and Top/Bottom format 3D movies, HD MPEG2, HD VC-1, HD AVC/H.264 movies from external USB/internal hard drive devices to HDTV screen.
And why i choose that TOO EXPENSIVE media player and not the mede8er med600x3d that supports anything except divx files and it was a lot of cheaper than the himedia hd900b you suggest me.
First of all: kudos for coming up with some helpful stuff! The Himedia 900B seems like a good solution. Could u please confirm the following for me, before i decide to actually buy it: in theory it should be possible to play a Blu-ray 3D.iso from my Synology DS 214+? Or do i need to insert an internal/external into the device itself?
Sorry for being such a noob. Would like to hear from ya, thanks!
