The brand new 3D technologies are coming at us fast and furious. So it’s not surprising that it’s getting lots of confusion and uncertainty, especially as it pertains it older hardware and it is capability to handle 3D pictures. Many believe if you wish to enjoy 3D at Full 1080p video resolution, the brand new HDMI 1.4 cable is needed. Which the HDMI 1.3 cable is only going to create a video resolution of 1080i for 3D.

If the was the situation, older Blu-ray Player’s like Ps 3, that will become 3D capable in September 2010 and it has a HDMI 1.3 output, won’t be sufficient to create pictures of 1080p when playing a 3D Blu-ray Disc. As of this moment, Sony’s PS3 may be the only older Blu-ray Player which will support 3D Blu-sun rays. Other 3D Blu-ray Players are 2010 models and are available outfitted using the necessary hardware and codec already aboard.

The simple truth is, that HDMI 1.3 cables are designed for 3D output. As lengthy because the HDMI cable you use is rated “High-speed” or better it’ll support Blu-ray 3D output at Full HD 1080p resolution. Two critical factors for any source device to deal with 3D output are codec and meta data. The new sony will need to includes these enhances via their 3D Firmware upgrade. Knowing miss upgrades, for example supplying support for internal decoding of DTS-HD Master Audio, The new sony shouldn’t have any problems completing this task task.

The codec accustomed to store 3D is Multiview Video Coding or MVC. It creates a complete 1080p frame for every eye and taking advantage of only 50 % more space for storage than the usual 2D disc. The PS3 was produced prior to the MVC codec, so The new sony needs to implement MVC support without altering any hardware. Also needed in the Ps 3 is the opportunity to produce and receive, in the 3D display, the right meta data within the communication which happens between any HDMI-outfitted devices.

This communication is performed via Extended Display Identification Data or EDID. It transfers information sent from the video display to some source over E-DDC lines to explain its abilities. A 3DTV will used the EDID to find out if they’re 3D capable, and when the Ps 3 works using the TV. Essentially the PS3 must can easily understand and respond to this latest EDID value sent through the 3DTV.

Once The new sony makes the firmware for you to change your Ps 3 using the new 3D technology, you shouldn’t have any difficulties with utilizing a HDMI 1.3 cable. Based on many experts, a HDMI cable should not be any deep concern for consumers when it comes to 3D. Mainly because of the fact HDMI cables and hardware have not been marketed with version figures (1.3,1.4) any longer. When choosing a HDMI cable you need to encounter among the following: HDMI Standard, HDMI High-speed, HDMI Standard with Ethernet, HDMI High-speed with Ethernet, and HDMI Standard Automotive.
