It seems that the Optoma 3D-XL adapter may have a cheaper alternative that can be available on the market earlier, but with a bit more limited functionality. There is a new company called Video Innovation Products (VIP) that should soon start shipping their VIP 3D-Gamer conversion adapter that can have HDMI 1.4(a) stereo 3D input and output frame sequential stereo 3D that can be understood by 3D DLP projector. This means that you should be able to connect your PlayStation 3 console via this adapter to a 3D DLP projector and play games in stereo 3D mode. The adapter is just converting between the formats, so for the projector you would still be using a pair of traditional DLP Link glasses. The adapter might also be able to turn your 3D DLP projector into a compatible with 3DTV Play for gaming as well, although that needs to be verified if it will work when the converter becomes available in the beginning of February. ![]() The price announced for the VIP 3D-Gamer video conversion adapter is $199 USD and you can buy it also bundled with a pair of DLP Link glasses for $259 USD (the glasses do look very much like 3D Vision) or a separate pair of glasses for $79 USD each. The VIP 3D-Gamer product is designed only for gamers and supports only the 720p 50Hz/60Hz 3D modes as input over HDMI 1.4(a), it is however not compatible with the 1080p 24Hz 3D resolution used for movies. This simply means that you will not be able to use this adapter together with a standalone Blu-ray 3D player to watch on your 3D DLP projector, but the company apparently has another more flexible solution for 3D movie lovers. |
But back to the coming very soon VIP 3D-gamer product. Aside from only supporting 720p 50/60Hz 3D input you will also need to have a 3D DLP projector that has and HDMI input and that is with native resolution of 720p (able to output 720p in stereo 3D mode) like for example the Acer H5360 or Optoma HD66.
