3D TV/Monitor MarketPanasonic announced their 3D system at CEATEC Japan in Sept. 2008.

They demonstrated 3D-BD player with 3D-BD disc and 3D-PDP(Full HD

120Hz).

3D TV/Monitor MarketIn the near future, HDMI devices of HDMI 1.4(or 2.0) is supposed to support

more higher V-refresh rate like over Full HD 120p(300MHz).

It enables to support faster response 3D image with common HDMI interface.

Proposal with VG-870A/B VG-870A/B would support following 3D testing functions

1)Different type of 3D image drawing systems a) Frame (Frame by Frame) Sequential System b) Field (Line by Line) Sequential System c) Side-by-Side Sequential System d )Diamond (Pixel by Pixel) System

2)Trigger Signal output

3)Test Patterns a) Stereo Disparity Test b) Left and Right Image Comparison c) Motion Play

4)High Resolution Timing output with Multi Interfaces

Proposal with VG-870A/B

System Configuration :

1)Video Signal Generator : VG-870A/B or VG-871A/B

2)VG Output Interface Board : VM Series ( HDMI, LVDS, DVI, DisplayPort, etc.)

3)3D Motion Play Option : VM-1819

a) Stereo Disparity Test

Distance of Stereo Disparity is changed according to “distance from Viewer to

Screen” or “Display Device Screen Size or TV/Monitor Inch Size”.

VG-870A/B can set this distance at 1 pixel step as desired.

c) Motion Play (with optional VM-1819)

3) Test Patterns

<Right> <Left>

Motion Play function with optional VM-1819 enables to draw picture frame by frame (Example: Full HD RGB = about 480 Frames).

By utilizing this function, short time 3D animation can be played.

Example 1) Fixing Left Frame and Scrolling Right Frame

Example 2) Motion Playing for both Left and Right Frame
