    Am I correct in assuming that I can edit 3D using a plugin (eg 3d toolbox) in FCP and a Multibridge extreme?
    Obviously I will use a 3D TV that handles the ‘side by side’ format.

    So I would come out of the Multibridge HDMI connector to the 3D TV HDMI connector.

    yes/no?

    Yes.

    Both 3D Toolbox and the MB do not have the ability to split eyes to different outputs, etc. so you will have both eyes (muxed) on a single output, and as you mentioned, the monitor must understand it.

    3D Toolbox has always supported any output the host app supports.

    thanks for your input Michael

    Next question – what is available as a Multi video codec (MVC) for creating blu-ray from the 2 streams from FCP?

    (the questions are getting tougher)

    Child’s play!

    MVC is a toughie. Real Time isn’t a reality, as far as I know. I believe Sonic and NetBlender MAY be doing it, but it’s really new and isn’t real time – all file based. I believe Digital Rapids and Inlet are looking into it as well, but no ETA just yet. No consumer or prosumer ready-to-use apps exist just yet to accomplish MVC encoding, although there are a few websites with command line stuff or a hodge podge of 3d party stuff if ya feel so inclined.
