Full HD 3D with Mac mini/AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics?

Thanks for the report! 🙂

Hello Kenstein,

Thanks for your helpful report!

Could you please provide the SwitchResX settings?

How did you connect the TV, via HDMI? I wonder if the MacMini HDMI Port is 1.4a.

Which player s/w you are using to display the files?

Best regards,

skampi

Hi skampi77,

here are the SwitchResX settings that work for an Onkyo AV receiver, and for an JVC 3D beamer (sorry for the German):

I connected the 3D beamer either directly or via the Onkyo AV receiver to the HDMI or (via an adapter) to the DVI output of the Mac mini. And, indeed, the output is in both cases HDMI 1.4a.

I can output full HD 3D images and video. For slide shows, I use a beta version of Graphics Converter v8 ( I asked Torsten Lemke to implement the frame packing format. Please contact him to get access to the beta version, even for testing purposes). This version has in the slide show settings a box "convert output to frame packing" that has to be checked. For video, I use Bino <http://bino3d.org>. In Bino frame packing output is one of the options.

In both cases, one has to switch to the frame packing format before Graphics Converter or Bino is started.

It is helpful to use one of the outputs (DVI or HDMI) for the "control screen", and the other for the 3D output that is switched to full HD frame packing format.

I hope this helps.

Cheers, Reiner

Hello Reiner,

Thanks for posting the setting as well as for further useful informations!

Im targeting to use my MacMini as an HTPC with 3D BluRay capabilities, but seems like more complicated than expected initially. Maybe I will find a way to integrate Bino into XBMC, but would need more digging in respective wikis... 😐

PS: Deutsch ist prima 🙂

worked with Samsung displays.

Failed on Epson 3010 & 5010 projectors.

It tries to lock repeatedly into the frequency, but fails declaring the frequency invalid.

My guess is that the epson is looking for the stereo3D hdmi packet which defines the type of stereo3D.

Unable so far to find anyone who knows.
