3D Display Formats (Methods)
Frame Sequential
In the frame sequential method, images for each eye are alternately reproduced in its full resolution.
This means a separate 1920 x 1080 Full HD image is sent to each of eye, enabling the viewers to
fully immerse themselves in the 3D landscape presented.
Frame sequential is what the Blu-ray spec and active shutter TVs use.
Side By Side
broadcasts in which 2D and 3D feeds are run alongside each other to ensure a seamless simulcast to
the receiver. If signal is not processed as 3D, the image on the TV will look like 2 pictures side by
side.
Used by Direct TV
Top and Bottom
Normal video frame actually has 2 frames, one on top a
Manual setting is necessary. Blu-ray recorder do not support this format.
Checker Pattern (Field Sequential)
In the field sequential method, the screen is divided in clusters of pixels. Because the images are laid
out in a checkered pattern, the image data that reaches each eye only has only half the number of
pixels than that of a Full HD image thus resulting in a lower quality picture.
Line By Line
In the line-by-line method, the screen’s lines are divided into even and odd lines by a polarizer filter.
This encodes the light in a plane that the odd lines can be only perceived by the left eye and the even
only by the right eye. Because the data for both eyes is displayed on one image, the vertical
resolution is only 50 % of that of frame sequential technology, resulting in a lower quality picture. As
well: The polarizer filter with the polarizer glasses have limitations of its viewing angle – when sitting
higher or lower than the screen so called ghosting will appear.
There are a few methods used to separate the left and right eye images on a 3D display:
Frame Sequential, Side by Side, Top and Bottom, Checker Pattern (Field Sequential), Line By Line
