My I-O glasses TV viewing system seems to be
NTSC only it won't sync PAL 3d tape recordings
you close one eye and get alternating fields flickering
sort of randomly but it works fine for NTSC 3d video. I put my 50Hz TV next
to my
computer and used Powerstrip to set my screen resolution to 720x576x50Hz
(PAL) then switched on my PC
H3D dongle so it's switching at 50Hz and the PAL 3d tape Egypt Gift of The
Nile and the 3d looked great when the VCR was plugged directly in tothe TV
but
a horizontal line scrolls down the screen on the TV
when viewed with h3d glasses due to no genlocked sync. My previous posted
put down of PAL
3d TV seems to be unfair it was based on my experience
with the I-O H3D TV Viewing system.
I bought a Nuview adapter last year but foolishly opted to buy it without
the TV Viewing system thinking I could use the I-O H3d
TV Viewing system. I wonder how many have bought
this and then bought a PAL 3d TV tape to be totally
put off PAL 3d for ever and a day. Can anyone
recommend a Wireless TV Viewing system that is
truly suitable for viewing PAL 3d TV tapes?
I connected my PAL VGA to TV scan converter
and using Powerstrip to switch to 720x576x50Hz
to output PAL field sequential using Nvidia pageflip
and X3d TV Gateway and watch live 2d to 3d TV on
my 50Hz TV. The flicker isn't as bad as I expected
using the PC H3d Dongle with wireless glasses.
Please share your experiences with PAL it aint half
bad with the right equipment it seems. Is my I-O
TV viewing system faulty or do others find the same?
The PAL TV with glasses synched at 50Hz
from the computer looks perfect 3d only slight
worse flickering than NTSC.
It seems I-O Glasses system is NTSC only
but are their any systems that work for PAL
and PAL has been consequently unsupported
and given a bad name in 3d because no one
makes a decent viewing system for it.

Hi

Both the old i-O H3D TV Viewing system, (the one with the mains power adapter), and the new version, (the one with the battery) should work fine with PAL tapes and the Nu-View.

The new version has better sync detection so works a lot bit better with VCRs.

I am not sure how you are doing the connections. To watch your tape on your TV are you just connecting the VCR directly to the TV Viewing system or are you trying to go from your VCR to your PC and then out to the TV?

Thanks I have it correctly connected like you.
I did a test of inputing a NTSC 3d SVCD slideshow
to my 50/60Hz TV and fed a PAL TV signal
as the only input to the I-O Systems sync box
Looking through shutterglasses the TV
looked perfect 3d except for the horizontal
line moving down the screen so it appears
the unit is stuck in NTSC mode
It seems to be a faulty unit.
With PAL you get a 3d-ish image but it alternates
left right views and when you close one eye at a time
you still get alternating left right views but it is
all over the place not even close to being correct 3d.

The i-O H3D TV System will not work with PAL.

It appears my supplier for some reason
hasn't received my emails so I-O systems
forwarded my problem and they can
replace the box in Australia at a very
affordable price. Happy again.
They even want the old box to
see if it can be fixed. Hooray for i-O systems.
When I get the replacement I'll find out if
it works for PAL for sure. I'll let you know.

I phoned the supplier and it appears
my i-o systems sync box c3d III is NTSC
only but that I need i-O systems new generation one which takes a nine volt battery to work with PAL.

Good, I am pleased you have got a solution.

It seemed a little strange, we are based in the UK and all the i-O TV viewing systems we have sold, including the older H3D (mains adapter type), have been compatible with both PAL and NTSC.

The latest version, (9V battery type), definitely works with PAL.

Received the new 9V battery version it works
in PAL and NTSC really great maybe my older mains one has has always been faulty but being out of warranty it's tough. Anyway I'm happy with the
new one.
