Optoma 3D-XL not activating SBS MODE?

[eqzitara1]

I had an optoma 3d-xl with different projector and dont remember any issues. I now own a different projector (optoma hd66. Which is supported). However I just bout a new 3d xl and am pressing the sbs button...nothing. I am using a 120hz signal but its not changing. I could of sworn button would try to force SBS regardless of format. Like even if it wasnt SBS, if I pressed button I thought it would still split the image. I am getting nothing. Any ideas? I think I got a busted unit.

err.. should of gave more details.

I tried both the Tridef Media player/ Games in SIDE BY SIDE (both modes). I click the button and nothing happens. I have to two split images but nothing is happening when I click the optoma button.

If it worked straight with another and not with a similar one it could be a defect device. Just be sure (i'm certain you already have...) to check the menues thoroughly first if there is a setting that disables 3d in any way (manufacturers enjoys widely to make labyrints to all useful features nowadays...). I don't know if they release new hardware updates from time to time but that should be worth a check as well. Is it possible to check and compare the hardware revision of both of them btw? Does the connection used matter?

Hmm.. sounds strange to me. Maybe try customer support or RMA?

The 3D-XL only accepts 60 Hz (or less) SBS or TnB input signals and then converts them to a frame sequential output of 1280x720@120Hz. It will not convert any 3D formats for a SBS output.

It also will not pass a 120Hz frame sequential input.

If a HDMI 1.4 input signal is received by the 3D-XL it will automatically process the source.

If a SBS signal is input without the HDMI 1.4 flags, then you'll have to manually press the SBS button.
