Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a three-dimensional (“3D”) adapter subsystem separate from and communicatively coupled to a display device, a 3D video content stream comprising data representative of 3D video content; determining, by the 3D adapter subsystem, whether the 3D video content stream is configured to be displayed in accordance with an active shutter processing heuristic or in accordance with a passive polarized processing heuristic; directing, by the 3D adapter subsystem, the display device to generate and display the 3D video content in accordance with the 3D video content stream; selectively calibrating, by the 3D adapter subsystem if the 3D video content stream is determined to be displayed in accordance with the active shutter processing heuristic, the display of the 3D video content in accordance with one or more attributes of the display device and the active shutter processing heuristic; and selectively calibrating, by the 3D adapter subsystem if the 3D video content stream is determined to be displayed in accordance with the passive polarized processing heuristic, the display of the 3D video content in accordance with the one or more attributes of the display device and the passive polarized processing heuristic.
