NVIDIA have announced a new string to their 3D bow, in the shape of NVIDIA 3DTV Play, a way to hook up GeForce-based notebooks and PCs to HDTVs for full 3D video and gaming. A new software app – that works with any GeForce GPU-using machine with either DVI or HDMI connectivity – 3DTV Play supports 1080p24, 720p60 and 720p50 3D formats and will work both with active-shutter TV glasses and passive polarized glasses.
As well as full HD Blu-ray 3D playback, the system offers streaming 3D video support and the ability to convert over 400 games titles from 2D into 3D, in real-time, with no patches or extra software.
The graphics company has hooked up with Panasonic, who will be demonstrating the system on their upcoming “Panasonic Touch the Future Tour”, taking 50-inch 3D-capable HDTVs around the US in the hope of coercing a few sales out of wowed viewers.
NVIDIA 3DTV Play will go on sale later in the spring, priced at $39.99. Meanwhile those already using NVIDIA 3D Vision will be offered a free copy.
