Patent ID: 8610764

Claim:
A device for synchronized stereoscopic 3D active shutter glasses, comprising: a television remote controller housing that provides a user interface that provides access to controls for television functions; the television remote controller housing enclosing: a television remote controller circuit comprising: a television remote controller command processor situated in said housing that processes input from the user interface to interpret user commands; a television command transmitter that transmits television control signals under control of the remote controller command processor; and a shutter glasses synchronization signal repeater configured to receive shutter glasses synchronization signals and retransmit shutter glasses synchronization signals comprising: a synchronization signal receiver that receives shutter glasses synchronization signals from a television, where the shutter glasses synchronization signal received by the synchronization receiver comprises an RF synchronization signal; and a converter that translates the RF synchronization signal to an IR synchronization signal; a synchronization signal re-transmitter that receives the shutter glasses synchronization signal and re-transmits the shutter glasses synchronization signal as an IR synchronization signal; and where the command transmitter transmits television command signals using an IR transmitter in a low frequency range of the IR spectrum and the synchronization signal re-transmitter transmits synchronization signals in a higher frequency range of the IR spectrum; and where the user interface comprises a power on/off control for at least one of said synchronization signal receiver and said synchronization signal re-transmitter.
