CEDIA Expo Preview
This blog provides a preview of new projectors expected to be introduced at the annual “Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association” (CEDIA) Expo that runs from 7 – 10 September in Indianapolis. This is the trade show where most manufacturers of home theater oriented projectors, screens, high-end audio gear and home automation systems introduce/demo their new and upcoming products for the North American market. Several of us associated with Projector Reviews will be attending the CEDIA Expo and my next blog will report on what new projectors were being shown and provide impressions from some of the demos.

The simplest form is “passive” which use left and right lenses that either have a different fixed polarization or pass different portions of the light spectrum (e.g., different colors). Most consumer 3D TVs and 3D projectors require the use of the more complex “active” shutter 3D glasses and this latter category is the subject of the discussion below. Read the rest of this entry »
3D Projection Techniques
