CEDIA Expo – Part 2 Preview
This blog is a final preview before the start of the CEDIA Expo show that is held next week in Indianapolis (the CEDIA keynote speech and first press conferences are on Wednesday Sept. 5th and the trade show opens Sept. 6th). My previous blog included several video projector related products rumored to be making their appearance at CEDIA. For this new blog I will only cover those projectors for which their manufacturer has already released some information. Read the rest of this entry »

CEDIA Expo 2012 – Preview
This blog presents a preview of new projectors and a few related products that may be introduced and/or demo’ed at next month’s CEDIA Expo 2012. The CEDIA Expo is the most important trade show in the USA for the introduction of new home theater video projectors and related products. Also included below are some products that may come to the marketplace during the next few months, but the manufacturer does not have an exhibit/booth at the CEDIA Expo. In some cases the product information that I discuss below is based the preliminary information from the manufacturer while for some other products the information below is based on what appears to fairly credible rumors. In the following write-up I have tried to clearly identify the rumors from the more firm information. Read the rest of this entry »

Beyond HDMI 1.4
The current generation of the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) specification was issued in early 2010, in the same time frame as the specification for Blu-ray 3D players (which specifies a HDMI 1.4a output). The latest version of the HDMI Specification is v1.4b which is functionally the same as v1.4a, but with the addition of testing requirements to be used by manufacturers to certify compliance with the specification. Most current consumer video devices include support for the HDMI v.1.4a. I provided an overview of the HDMI v1.4a provisions related to 3D video in my very first blog (HERE) for Projector Reviews.

Passive 3D Projection – Part 10
This blog provides a wrap-up to the discussion of my past 9 blogs on the subject of Passive 3D Projection. Most of that discussion focused on using two consumer projectors operating in 2D mode and configured with auxiliary equipment/components such that one projector is used for the right-eye view and the second projector is used for the left-eye view as required to present a stereoscopic 3D image when viewed thru passive 3D glasses. This final blog in the series on passive 3D projection discusses a single projector solution for implementing a passive 3D projection system. Read the rest of this entry »

Passive 3D Projection – Part 9
This post is Part 9 in a the series of blogs discussing do-it-yourself (diy) passive 3D projection systems that use two conventional front projectors. This new blog continues the discussion on the use of dual projection system that use color bandpass filtering (i.e., “wavelength multiplexing”), instead of polarization, as the means to separate the right from the left images. In simply terms, wavelength multiplexing, uses two projectors equipped with filters that pass only very narrow bands of colors within the visible spectrum with one of the filters passing a set of colors that is slightly offset from the set of colors passed by the filter being used on the second projector. The viewers then must wear passive 3D glasses whose lenses are filters that pass narrow bands of the visible spectrum that matches those being used on the two projectors.

Passive 3D Projection – Part 8
This post continues the series of blogs discussing do-it-yourself (diy) passive 3D projection systems that use two conventional front projectors. In my previous blogs of this series the discussion has focused on passive 3D projection system that use polarized light as the means to separate the right from the left images that make up the stereoscopic image pair that creates the 3D effect. This new blog starts the discussion on the use of dual projector system that uses color bandpass filtering (i.e., “wavelength multiplexing”), instead of polarization, as the means to separate the right from the left images. In simply terms, wavelength multiplexing, uses two projectors equipped with filters that pass only very narrow bands of colors within the visible spectrum with one of the filters passing a set of colors that is slightly offset in wavelength from the set of colors passed by the filter being used on the second projector. The viewers then must wear passive 3D glasses whose lenses are filters that pass narrow bands of the visible spectrum that matches those being used on the two projectors.

Passive 3D Projection – Part 7
This post continues the series of blogs discussing do-it-yourself (diy) passive 3D projection systems that use two conventional front projectors. In my previous blog (i.e., Part 6 of this series), I completed (at least for the time being) the discussion on projectors suitable for use as part of a passive 3D projection system that uses polarized light as the means to separate the right from the left images that make up the stereoscopic image pair that creates the 3D effect. This new blog wraps up the current discussion on passive 3D projection systems that use polarized light. Read the rest of this entry »
