Sequential or side by side 3D?
January 13th, 2010 | Author: Daniel
3D displays are the next big thing and like in HD, there are different way of displaying a 3D image on a television.
The two ways at the moment are sequential and side by side.
The sequential 3D, used on 3D Blue Ray uses a different frame for each eye. Meaning the transmitter sends 24 images per second per eye, so 48 frames per seconds. The glasses take care of the rest and ensure each eye see only one of the two frame at the same time.
The side by side is a bit different as it sends the two images on the same frame and the TV split and stretch them to form two frames. The quality is not as good as the sequential 3D but the bandwidth used is much much less.
