Correct me if I'm wrong.

based on "Tested with MKV, AVI, TS (MPEG)" from the update I assumed it's 1080p (720p+720p SBS/TAB). I'd tested half SBS on Sony NX710 TV using normal 1185 chipset player, then activate the 3D function on TV and set SBS on TV. I'm able to view real 3D.

if popcorn player can play full 3D 2160p (1080p+1080p SBS/TAB) and decode it like 3D bluray player, please let me know cause I'll be interested^^

edit: if popcorn really can play full 3D, will like to know if the port is HDMI v1.4 too, else it won't be fast enough.

Thanks for your enquiries. I already submit your question to my principal. Now waiting for the answer.
From the information I have while waiting for the answer, I heard that it may need fast/Good HDMI Cable to play full 3D. Anyhow let me clarify with them again.

Thank you.

Yes, the C-200/A-210 HDMI port only 1.3a. Anyhow I'm still waiting for the answer from my principal.
Thanks for your help checking this smile.gif

Ya, quite troublesome, even when search for bluray player also need to find one can support 3D-_-

The issue with real full 3D (not those red/blue or 2D to 3D) on 3DTV is achieved by 2xfull hd 1080p vids. So older HDMI ports/cables or chipset cannot transfer the data fast enough. like my himedia hd600a (1185) cannot play full 3d sbs mkv file. So I am quite happy to see popcorn might be able to support 3D.

Hi bro,

So sorry to inform that, we do not support full-resolution 3D MKV, only half-resolution and only side-by-side and top-and-bottom 3D modes.

We can do HDMI 1.4 signaling to automatically switch to 3DTV to the correct 3D modes, such as, side-by-side, top-and-bottom. Currently we do not support frame sequential 3D. In order for this HDMI 1.4 signaling to work, the TV and any AVR connected need to support HDMI1.4 as well.
