3D Blu Ray Playback in 3D Stereo for projection

[petertilling]

Hello all,

 

I am looking into a 3D job where we will use two three chip DLP's with polarisers onto a 16' screen for 3D projection. When I have done this before the media has come pre-prepared loaded onto a media server with two outs and the two images are played back simultaneously. Easy.

 

For this job I am getting the media on Blu Ray 3D. I know very little about blu ray 3D, but I need to find a way to get a stereo image out of it and into my two projectors. It has been suggested to me that I can do this in software with a PC and a twin DVI out graphics card. Has anyone done this, and if so what software did you use?

 

Thanks,

 

Peter

You can't get it out of a Bluray player itself because there exists no hardware which will demultiplex a 3D HDMI 1.4 signal into two DVI signals. In general such a device would have to be HDCP compliant to be useful which rules out hobbyist built boxes. Such a box would also have to convert the alternative frame + shutter glasses method used by Bluray into a concurrent frames + polarisation method to be usable with two projectors and polarising filters.

 

If you can get the content off the Bluray or persuade the source to provide it in a sane computer readable format instead then you may be able to use the driver developed by

Along with the same company's media player application to do 'dual view' output. However I've never used anything like this so Your Mileage May Vary.
