Re: [Bino-list] macbook/HDMI 1.4 stereo3D

Thanks.
I spoke with developer a few weeks ago.  Hdmi is not in his scope, just the 
graphics DVI pass thru.

My conclusion is that frame packing has two unique characteristics:
Frame size 1920x2205, and a hdmi packet identifying the frame as stereo 3d.

My guess is that some manufactures just use the frame size to determine to go 
into auto stereo 3d.
Others demand both to be compliant.

Tech support at Epson could not confirm or deny this generically or 
specifically for the projector 3010.
It is not clear they understand the concept or have read HDMI 1.4 specs.

You might find useful tools such

SwitchResX http://www.madrau.com/indexSRX4.html
DisplayConfigX http://www.3dexpress.de/

with which you can hardcode the HDMI frame packing resolution for your
projector.

The data you use in these tools needs to be carefully inserted, you can
find an example implementation for X11 here
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/bino-list/2011-03/msg00033.html or
the specifications from
http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/specification.aspx (or you can look
them up in google).

Best,
Vitorio
