Testing HDMI 1.4 displays with 3D

Rendering 3D images

284 Chapter 9 Testing HDMI Sink Devices
This section provides procedures for testing HDMI 1.4 3D displays. The 3D feature is
available on all versions of the 88x series. The 3D feature enables you to test the ability of
your 3D capable HDTV to process HDMI vendor specific infoframes with 3D metadata and
to render 3D formats. The 3D feature can test 3D using the following timings (resolutions):
• 480p60, 576p59
• 720p60, 720p59, 720p50
• 1080p23, 1080p24
The 3D feature can test the following 3D structures:
• Frame packing
• Line alternative
• Side-by-side (full) (not supported by the 882EA)
• Side-by-side (half)
• Top and Bottom
Note: The 3D feature is available on all versions of the 88x series.
This section provides detailed procedures for rendering 3D images.
Prerequisites for testing with the 3D images
In order to use the 3D utility to test your display you will need to ensure that the following
prerequisites are met:
• Upgrade your 88x to the current release. Read the Release Notes to verify which
release supports the 3D images.
• Locate the Quantum Data 3D bitmaps or use your own 3D bitmaps – The Quantum
Data bitmaps are available from the Quantum Data website at:
• http://www.quantumdata.com/apps/3D/sample_BMP.asp.
• (optional) If you wish to create your own 3D bitmaps from stereoscopic image pairs that
you have, then you will need to acquire the Quantum Data Bitmap Conversion Tool.
This tool enables you to create 3D ready images that use various 3D format structures
from existing stereographic bitmaps (left and right eye views). This utility is available at
the Quantum Data downloads page: www.quantumdata.com/downloads/. You do not
need this tool if you already have 3D bitmap test images or if you want to use the
Quantum Data 3D bitmaps.
