Movavi 3D Media Player > 3D Video Playback
3D is just an illusion of depth perception, although quite an indulging one. The essence of the technique is to display two different images simultaneously on the screen, so that these images can be seen separately by the left and right eyes. The monitor and 3D glasses enable each eye to receive its own image and your brain perceives 3D.
The trick is how to store pairs of stereo frames (3D frames) — for the left and right eyes.
Various frame formats uses different ways of storage. Movavi Video Player plays back videos that compose both the left and right images into a single video frame. This can be done in a wide variety of ways, including splitting the frame horizontally (Side-by-side frame format) or vertically (Over-under frame format). Anaglyph is another form of stereo images composed into a single frame supported by our player, where the distinction is made by color.
On 3D glasses in short.
They can be passive (just lenses mounted in the frame), or active (electrically active, and therefore battery powered). If you run 3D Vision Discover PC all you need is ordinary two-color glasses, usually chromatically opposite, typically red (for the left eye) and cyan (blue/green). For NVIDIA 3D Vision kit, designed for an even more immersive high-definition and hi-fidelity gaming experience, you’d better use high tech active shutter glasses.
So, let the fun begin.
Once you've installed Movavi Video Player, go ahead and run it so we can get started.
1. On the file menu, click Open 3D File... and choose the file you need from the list. Click Ok.
2.Choose one of the frame formats from the Opening 3D File dialog box:
- Anaglyph
- Side-by-side
If you don't like the 3D effect, you can try another format when playing back the file.
Note: in order for the NVIDIA 3D Vision / 3D Vision Discover drivers work properly, the program must enter the full-screen mode. To leave the full screen mode press the ESC key. Once you've left, the payback method would be automatically switched to Anaglyph.
1. If the NVIDIA 3D Vision kit is not found on your PC, you only can choose the anaglyph method:
- Color (Red - Cyan)
- Optimized
- True (Dark)
- Gray
Anaglyph is used by default. You can change the anaglyph method at any time: from the Preferences menu, select the 3D tab and click Configure.
Note: once you’ve drag-and-drop a media file, it would not be recognized as 3D video. Please use the Opening 3D File option from the File menu instead.
