Then need the tools listed above to play 3D movies. Below we provide the details on playing 3D movies. Just t keep on reading to find out how to play 3D movies on PC or 3D TV.
How to Play 3D Movies on Windows/Mac
This is the method for you to play 3D video/movies with display card supports 3D and 3D monitor.
Most 3D-Monitor comes with 3D media player and you can just use it to play 3D video, or choose any other third-party player if you like. Make sure that you choose side-by-side mode in 3D media player configuration settings. In most cases, the video will play like a charm. If not, try swapping left and right eye images in 3D display configuration of the 3D media player.
How to Play 3D Movies on On 3D-TV
Check your 3D-TV compatible format first before playing 3D videos. Most 3D-TV supports MP4 and WMV video format. If the video files you want to play are not in 3D MP4 or 3D WMV format, just use the Video Converter Ultimate / Video Converter Ultimate for Mac to convert them to 3D TV compatible format first on Windows/Mac.
Here are three ways to play and watch 3D video on 3D-TV, depending on the source to deliver 3D video to TV.
Use 3D- TV as external monitor for PC
3D-TV can be used as external monitor for your PC. To make it, you’ll need a video cable to attach PC to 3D-TV, generally via HDMI/DVI/VGA provided with your TV. The cable needed varies depending on the ports your PC and 3D-TV support. You'll need an adapter if your port on PC is not the same as the port on 3D-TV. Once you have the necessary cable/adapter to reach from your PC to the 3D-TV:
* Turn off both the 3DTV and the PC. Connect the cable to the TV before turning on the computer to ensure it recognize TV as external display.
* After that, your 3D-TV will become external monitor. The playback will be the same as above instructions on how to watch 3D video on PC.
Stream 3D video to 3D-TV via hard drive on Windows/Mac
Simply load 3D videos to your hard drive or flash drive via USB and then hook up to your 3D-TV, for some 3D-TV’s USB port supports 3D content decoding.
Use DVD player to stream 3D video to TV
If you can't stream 3D video to 3D TV via hard drive, you can just connect your portable hard drive to hardware media player, like DVD Player and Blu-ray Player, and let it stream 3D content to your 3D-TV.
OK! Now you can play 3D movies on both PC and 3D TV. And here we also provide you the tips on how to change 2D to 3D, convert film to 3D, upload 3D video on YouTube, etc.
