Mitsubishi Develops 3D Blu-ray Adapter for TVs
Mitsubishi's method of interpreting a 3D signal is not compatible with the 3D Blu-ray spec. To address this problem, Mitsubishi showed at CES 2010 a 3D Blu-ray adapter (3DC-1000) that takes the HDMI output of a 3D Blu-ray player and converts it to a signal the Mitsubishi TV understands.
Mitsubishi 3D TVs create 3D images by generating two separate checkerboard pattern fields that, when viewed though active shutter LCD glasses, deliver the 3D experience.
Mitsubishi says the adapter only will work with 3D Blu-ray players, but it's only a small leap to imagine the adapter may also work with cable and satellite settop boxes once those start transmitting 3D signals on networks such as ESPN and Discovery.
The Mitsubishi 3DC-1000 3D adapter will be available in late spring of 2010. No pricing was announced.

i smell a major lawsuite.(mitsubishi advertised there dlp tv’s as 3d ready. ready for what?? not 3d thats for sure. these tv’S should have been sold as a package deal. they shouldnt make you buy 3d glasses,emitter,3dc-1000 adapter and a 3d blue ray player and hdmi cables.((do not buy a mitsubishi product)) they lye to there customers
Well considering you could buy a 73” DLP 3D ready set for under $1300 and the 3dc-1000 costs $100 by itself and a pair of glasses under $150 and if you buy the glasses that already work with the mitsubishi you do not need an emitter but if so $50 for the emitter and $200 for a sony 3D ready with the currently available firmware update http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?upd_id=5779&mdl=BDPS470 so for $1800 or less you have everything you need to do 3D on a 73” set…... Viio is coming out with a 72” set soon but it wil be $3500 without the blue ray player and glasses and such
Is that their endgame, or just a temporary fix to all those Mitsubishi 3D ready TV early adopters?
