Patent ID: 7242422

Claim:
A method for decoding a 3D video signal decoded with a color code for a 3D display, the method comprising: detecting a leading edge of the vertical synchronous signal of the 3D video signal; resetting a readable flag; comparing the 3D video signal with a reference signal to obtain a decoded color code value; counting a number of times the 3D video signal is read, after the number reaches a predetermined value, configuring the readable flag; outputting the decoded color code value when the readable flag has been configured; judging whether the color code value meets a 3D video format, wherein when the color code value meets the 3D video format, entering a process sub-program; and when the color code value does not meet the 3D video format, going back detecting the leading edge of the vertical synchronous signal of the 3D video signal; and displaying a 3D video image based on the readable flag.
