STEREOSCOPIC VIEWING APPARATUS AND DISPLAY SYNCHRONIZATION

摘要

A stereoscopic viewing apparatus (16) is synchronized with a display (2). A signal(8) generated by or synchronised with the display (16)is transmitted. The signal (8)comprises a sequence of data packets (204), wherein each data packet (202a-e) in the sequence comprises an identifying portion of data. The stereoscopic viewing apparatus (16) receives a data packet (202b) from the sequence of data packets (204). A position of the data packet (202b) in the sequence of data packets (204)is identified using said identifying portion. Timing information related to the data packet (202b)is determined using said position. The timing information is used for synchronization of the stereoscopic viewing apparatus(16) with the display (2) and for determining when to activate a receiver(22) in the stereoscopic viewing apparatus (16) for receiving a subsequent packet.
