Overview: Frame packing layouts

Frame-packing layouts arrange left and right views so a receiving system can separate and present them.

Side-by-side and top-and-bottom layouts place views within a combined picture, while frame-packed presentation uses another defined arrangement. A receiving system needs to know the layout to assign the views correctly. The pages below illustrate those structures and the resolution or presentation consequences of each.

• Side-by-side 3D
  Side-by-side 3D places the two eye views in adjacent horizontal regions of one video frame.

• Top-and-bottom 3D
  Top-and-bottom 3D stores the two eye views in vertically stacked regions of a conventional video frame.

• Frame-packed 3D
  HDMI frame packing transports two full stereoscopic views within a defined paired video timing.
