Mitsubishi has restricted the compability of its 3DC-1000 3D converter box to its own 3D-ready rear-projection DLPs.
May 14, 2010 | by Julie Jacobson

When Mitsubishi showed its 3DC-1000 3D converter box at CES, it was compatible with Samsung’s 3D-ready televisions. Both companies use the same checkerboard 3D format.

However, HD Guru Gary Merson reports Mitsubishi modified the box to restrict compatibility to its own 3D-ready rear-projection DLPs.

Thanks to new EDID messages sent with the converter’s HDMI signals, Samsung will no longer be able to receive 3D in HD via the Mitsubishi box.

Mitsubishi’s 3DC-1000 may not work with Samsung legacy 3D hdtv’s, but I believe “Cyberlink’s PowerDVD 10Ultra 3D” software run from a pc will render Blu-ray 3d dvds in checkerboard 3d, all you have to do is set your computer’s video output resolution to match your 3d-hdtv’s resolution. This is good news for owners of Samsungs Plasma-3d the PN50B450 with its odd 3d activation resolution of 1360 X768.
