In (half) Top-And-Bottom (TAB), a left eye 1920x540 and a right eye 1920x540 frame are combined top and bottom into a full HD 1920x1080 frame.Įither of these formats can be played back onto a HDMI 1.4 compatible display even without the player (Kodi or any other) knowing that they are 3D. For example, in (half) Side-By-Side (SBS) a left eye 960x1080 and a right eye 960x1080 frame are combined side-by-side into a full HD 1920x1080 frame. The most popular 3D formats encode left and right images of the 3D frame inside a 2D frame and can therefore be supported with any Kodi supported video file encoding (typically h264/h265(hevc) with mkv container format). In that case Kodi can also render its GUI according to the desired output method, making the GUI naturally useable during playback. When Kodi can decode the video file and knows how 3D is encoded in it, it can then transform the decoded video to the desired output method.

2.1 MVC software decoding not supportedģD can be encoded in the video file in a variety of methods and displayed on the output device in yet another variety of methods.
