Where I am confused is this. My Cable TV (Direct tv), won't work no matter which hdmi I use. My cd/ vhs player has no hdmi outlets. My tablets don't have capability for hdmi as my phone doesnt. So what the heck can I use to test my system? Is there a special plug I can use to create a hdmi to connect it to my tablet? Obviously, the wireless line the forest icky or chrome cast doesn't work either! In the instructional video, the guy has his glasses case in front of the 3d Edison disc so no way can see the connections. The out from the source goes into the IN the Edison 3d. The out from the Edison 3d goes back to the TV, right? Answer me this and I should get up and running. Thanks in advance!
You can use a blu-ray or dvd player and pretty much anything with HDMI output.
First off hit power button on remote of Edison 3D, do you see a red light behind USB port of Edison 3D(if you have cable plugged to usb port remove temporary to see red light)? Try pressing HD or FHD on Edison 3D. Check to see if your cable TV box has some sort of video reset button (for example some gaming consoles allow you to video reset by holding power button for a couple of seconds). Try unplugging cable TV box power as well as Edison 3D power..then turn on Edison 3D first then the box (make sure you press power button from the remote of Edison 3D.) Anything could work.
