Abstract:
1. At a computer system, the computer system including one or more processors and a memory, a method of blanking an inter-frame overlap of a three-dimensional video signal, the method comprising the acts of: receiving a three-dimensional video signal comprising at least a first video frame and a second video frame; determining a frame size of one or more of the first video frame and the second video frame; identifying physical characteristics of a display device at which the first video frame and the second video frame are to be displayed, including a frame rate and refresh rate of the display device; determining, using the one or more processors, a frame overlap interval in which at least a portion of the first video frame and at least a portion of the second video frame are to be displayed concurrently at the display device during a transition between the first video frame and the second video frame, wherein determining the frame overlap interval comprises processing the frame rate and refresh rate; and generating an inter-frame blanking signal based on the determined frame overlap interval, the inter-frame blanking signal comprising one or more instructions for instructing a blanking device to concurrently blank a display of the three-dimensional video signal during the transition, wherein generating the inter-frame blanking signal comprises processing the frame size and the frame overlap interval.
