Does Edison 3D work with native 3D content?
Yes, Edison 3D works with native 3D. You can play native 3D games on various gaming consoles (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 etc) as well as play 3D Blu-Ray movies on 3D Blu-Ray players/drives etc.
I have a PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and/or Xbox One. I want to setup 3D with them. How do I set up 3D with these devices?
I am using a PC with two displays connected in extended desktop mode, one is a 3D TV and one is a 2D display. When I try to play 3D games on my 3D TV, it’s not working. Why don’t I see 3D?
I'm having trouble getting native 3D Content. What are some tips?
- Unplug all cables and power from Edison 3D and device.
- Plug back all cables and power Edison 3D and device.
- Unplug HDMI cable from back of TV and re-plug.
- Put HDMI cable in a different input on TV.
- Try using different HDMI cables.
- Try directly connecting to Edison 3D. Cause could be HDMI switch and other HDMI peripheral and subsystem devices that could be causing trouble. Also, try not using HDMI extension cables.
- Hit HD or FHD button on Edison 3D remote to see if it does anything.
- Press
on remote.
- Check behind Edison 3D USB port to see if red light is present.
- Follow setup guide for specific platform from this thread: Edison 3D - 3D Setup On a Platform
I want to use more than one device without unplugging/plugging cord a hundred times. Does Edison 3D support multi HDMI ports so I can plug as many devices as I want?

If you are using multiple displays in your system, the 3D TV must be set as the main display from the Windows Control Panel.

I want to use more than one device without unplugging/plugging cord a hundred times. Does Edison 3D support multi HDMI ports so I can plug as many devices as I want?
No, Edison 3D does not support multiple HDMI ports. It only has one HDMI input and one HDMI output. If you want to use Edison 3D on more than one device, I suggest getting an HDMI switch. They usually range from $20-$30. Here's one: Kinivo HDMI Switch 301BN Premium 3 Port Wireless Remote & AC Power Adapter
Where is the power button for the glasses located?
The power button is located in the middle of the glasses. It's the small polygon shape which is also the LED indicator of when the glasses are on. It may require the tip of your fingernail or a couple of times of pressing to power it on.
Why don't my glasses stay on? I press the power button and it turns on for 1 or 2 seconds and shuts off.
You MUST put Edison 3D in 3D mode (press 
3D button on remote). Then 
power on the glasses.
3D button on remote). Then power on the glasses.Do any glasses work with Edison 3D?
No. Only glasses that were made for Edison 3D will work for Edison 3D. As of this moment (or as of this writing), only glasses made by the Edison 3D team will work with Edison 3D.
Do the glasses work under Bluetooth or IR?
Neither, the glasses use RF and have a frequency of 2.4GHz.
Why is there constant flickering on glasses?
Modern active shutter 3D systems generally use liquid crystal shutter glasses aka active shutter glasses. Each eye's glass contains a liquid crystal layer which has the property of becoming dark when the voltage is applied, being otherwise transparent. The glasses are controlled by Edison 3D timing that allows the glasses to alternately block one eye, and then the other, in synchronization with the refresh rate of the screen. Active 3D Glasses works by only presenting the image intended for the left eye while blocking the right eye's view, then presenting the right-eye image while blocking the left eye, and repeating this so rapidly that the interruptions do not interfere with the perceived fusion of the two images into a single 3D image. Flicker results when the eye senses that the brightness is not steady but time varying. Flickering due to rapid opening and closing of the LCD shutters. It the same effect as a strobe light. If you've got particular kinds of lighting around your TV. This is only a problem with particular kinds of lighting like incandescent globes. This why you should turn off the light to reduce the flickering. LCD TVs don’t generate any inherent flicker when producing 2D images because they all have an Active Matrix of TFT Thin Film Transistors that hold every pixel steady until it is updated in the next refresh cycle.
How do I reduce to flicker?
The way to get rid of the annoying flickering is if you have blinds/shades or a curtain, you should close them to make the room dark. Another thing to do is to adjust backlight level of your TV. Adjusting brightness did nothing for me but when I increased my backlight level to the max, the flickering on the screen was gone. Also, try disabling any motion enhancers or messing with other TV settings to see if that helps with anything.
What is ghosting?
Display motion blur, also called HDTV blur and LCD motion blur, is a set of several different artifacts that is frequently found on modern consumer high-definition television sets and flat-panel displays for computers. Motion blur has been a more severe problem for LCD displays, due to their sample-and-hold nature. Even in situations when pixel response time is very short, motion blur remains a problem because their pixels remain lit, unlike CRT phosphors that merely flash briefly.
Why am I seeing ghosting?
There are few possible of seeing ghosting.
One is liquid crystal displays (LCD) have traditionally been slow to change from one polarization state to another. Users of early 1990s LCD TV are familiar with the smearing and blurring that occurs when something moves too fast for the LCD to keep up. LCD technology is not usually rated by frames per second but rather the time it takes to transition from one pixel color value to another pixel color value. Due to sample-and-hold regardless of how quickly an LCD can complete pixel transitions. So not to look for frames per second but looking at response time and measured in milliseconds (ms). The lower the ms the faster time to complete pixel transitions. I appreciate a good marketing ploy as much as the next guy, but a LED TV is just an LCD TV that's backlit with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) instead of standard cold-cathode fluorescent lights (or CCFLs).
The second cause is what I call them Fake Refresh Rate. The real word is Motion interpolation generates artificial in-between frames that are inserted between the real frames. The advantage is reduced motion blur on sample-and-hold displays such as LCD. Motion interpolation generates artificial in-between frames that are inserted between the real frames. The advantage is reduced motion blur on sample-and-hold displays such as LCD. Motion interpolation also adds input lag, which makes it undesirable for interactive activity such as computers, video games, and 3D video. Since these fake refresh numbers are invented by each company, they are also all different from each other, which makes direct comparison across brands impossible for those who don’t know the conversion to real refresh rates (which generally are not listed). Some manufacturers use a different terminology such as Samsung's "Clear Motion Rate 960" instead of "Hz". This avoids incorrect usage of the "Hz" terminology, due to multiple motion blur reduction technologies in use.
The third is your 3D glasses are not in sync with your TV.

What is Motion interpolation and does my TV have this features?
To understand what Motion interpolation is to see the question "Why am I seeing ghosting?" There are too many models to listed them all. This list is base on brands of TV that use their own terminology for Motion interpolation.
- JVC - Clear Motion Drive
- LG - TruMotion or Motion Clarity Index
- Panasonic - Backlight Scan
- Samsung - Auto Motion Plus or Clear Motion Rate
- Sharp - AquoMotion
- Sony - MotionFlow
- Toshiba - Clear Frame
- Vizio - Effective Refresh Rate
How do I fix ghosting issues?
To know how to sync your 3D glasses to the TV, click on "Edison 3D - Installation Guide" found on the Quick Links Box at the right side. Which will bring you to the installation guide for Edison 3D.
To fix the Fake Refresh Rate is simple to disable. How to do that? Every TV brands have their own ways to disable. That you would have to find out base on your TV model.
To fix the LCD response time is something that can not be done. I don't think it will have any effect on the movies side. For gamers, it may have some effect if the player doesn't care about. As this day, no one had complained about ghosting from LCD response time. Just to be aware of it.
