Frame compatible 3D: Both Frame Compatible 3D and Frame Packing 3D formats involve
forming a single frame that contains “sub-frames” for the left and right eye. In both cases,
the Sub-frames can be packaged together into a single frame via the Side-by-Side 3D for-
mat or the Top-and-Bottom 3D format. The key difference of a Frame Compatible signal
is that each sub-frame for each eye is down sampled along one axis to lower the resolution
of each sub-frame along one axis. As a result, the total dimension of a Frame Compatible
Frame is the same as a regular 2D HD frame (since each sub-frame has half the resolution
along either the horizontal or vertical dimension). This is the reason this format is called
Frame Compatible.
