Convert 3D to 2D?
If you have a 3D film, you can convert it to 2D. However, this is only possible if you have the corresponding devices in your home theater system or if the Blu-Ray is intended to be played in 2D and 3D.
More and more films are coming to cinemas in 3D and are then also being sold in stores as 3D Blu-Ray. At home you need new equipment to play 3D Blu-Rays. A television with appropriate 3D glasses, a 3D Blu-Ray player and an AV receiver are required to be able to enjoy the Blu-Ray properly. Under certain conditions, you can also play them in 2D. Here you can find out how to do it and what you need for it.
Your 3D TV can convert any image
- Modern 3D televisions can not only do 2Dpictures convert to 3D, but can also use the reverse route.
- Since every 3D television needs glasses, you may want to watch a 3D movie in 2D because there are small children with you or because you don't want to wear glasses. On your remote control you will find a button that you can use to convert 3D to 2D. Just confirm the selection.
Converting a 3D Blu-Ray to 2D with a compatible player
- A 3D Blu-Ray has a different format than the 2D version. If you still have an old Blu-Ray player and a television that does not support 3D, you cannot watch a 3D Blu-Ray in 2D.
- Buying a 3D Blu-Ray player can help. This can recognize them and play them back in 2D on your television. With most Blu-Rays it will work that the second track, which is responsible for the 3D effect, is faded out.
- Another alternative that works without converting 3D to 2D is to buy a Blu-Ray that combines both versions. You can also play these in a 2D Blu-Ray player without any problems
If you have bought a 3D DVD and are now playing or want to see ...
If you are planning to buy a new television and Blu-Ray player, you should temporarily only buy Blu-Rays with both versions on one disc. Then you can watch it in 2D with your old system and later enjoy the 3D version without having to buy the film again.
