Motorola add 3D support to DCX set-top boxes

Motorola may not make HDTVs, but that doesn’t mean they can’t jump aboard the 3D home entertainment bandwagon. The company has announced that it will be pushing out an update for its 1080p24/30-capable set-top boxes that adds automatic 3D content handling.

By integrating the 2D/3D processing in-box rather than leaving it up to the HDTV itself, it means less remote juggling and menu surfing for the viewer. Meanwhile, since the Motorola DCX box is handling the content, it automatically converts the on-screen guide, any captions or subtitles, or other messages so as to be presented in 2D or 3D as appropriate.

No word on when the update will be distributed, nor which cable companies are planning to take advantage of it, but of course they’ll need to be offering 3D content themselves, anyway. Still, it hopefully means one less hurdle to getting 3D movies into the home.
