3D HDMI Specification Is Set Free

Posted by kdawson on from the seeing-double dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The licenser of the HDMI specification has announced the intent to 'secure the application of 3D' by making the 3D portion of the HDMI 1.4 Specification available for public download, as well as extracts from the upcoming HDMI 1.4a. While the spec includes a 3D component, apparently not everyone has decided to sign up to adopt it. Given the developments happening in DisplayPort v1.2, the next year in displays looks like it will be an interesting one."

    and it is actually quite useless without the rest of the HDMI spec.

    Unless you order the Professional Edition Deluxe Diamond Tipped Laser Nanotube 9000XT HDMI Spec Reader Cable available from Monster.

    Then you're golden.

    It's 4D!

    Two 2D pictures = one 4D picture.

    Last year I found a case where someone had already been "convinced" they needed to buy a £60 cable for their new HD setup. It was a SCART cable. They had a HDMI cable plugged in which had never been used until I asked why they had two A/V connections between the same things.
