    Posted by Morten Schmidt on April 4, 2011 at 7:24 am

    just got my card installed
    all good, except that I cant make 3D playback from FCP
    the monitor got the signal, but will not show 3D signal framepacking, only sids by side
    when I put the framepacking option to on in the controlpanel, it swabs back to side by side the moment I activate FCP
    when I use Media Express it works fine, perfect signal in 3D
    anyone know what to do?
    tried BM support, but no reply after 3 mails, maybe they are on a hollydays, hahaha
    thank you

    What are your source 3D files that you’re playing out?

    thanks for your reply
    my footage is shot on Panasonic 3DA1, and got both the H264 files from the internal card, and full dual HD from KI/pro, in prores HQ
    but I got mail from BM, that the card can not do this, and never will, so I swapped my BM card to Kona3G, and hopefully that will do the trick 🙂
    just need to figure out how to make my master to BD as frame packed stereo file, think I might end up at a post house, it is a hardware based encoding as far as I know now, or?

    The AJA Kona 3G requires Cineform Neo3D to output frame packing.

    But it sounds like what you’re really going for is a 3D Blu-ray. Is that right?

    Currently there are only a few programs that can create a file for 3D Blu-ray. The file that you need to create is a MVC file. There could be more options announced at NAB, but for now, yes, you’ll probably end up at a post house.

    Have you done any 3D mastering with the files or are you just using the raw 3D right out of the camera?

    yes, going for 3D Bluray BD, the client needs to play via HDMI 1.4a
    I got Neo 3D, but tell more about software, is that for Mac?
    I do plan to do some post, and looks forward to play with all this new stuff
    I need a master 18 April, so it is a little stressfully, can not wait for NAB, haha

    Do you just need to play the project at a show or something or are they going to distribute Blu-rays?

    it is for one to ten playbacks in a closed circuit, a press-event where we got some control, but no distribution, it is a one off master 🙂

    MVC encoding is quite expensive. I would strongly suggest you consider using side-by-side if you can get away with it.

    hehe, the client wants framepacking without doubt, so thats my paths 🙂
    is there software, or is it only hardware encodeing?
