Free software download makes HD65 fully 3D compatible with award winning Optoma 3D-XL

London, May 2011 – Optoma today announced the immediate availability of a free firmware download that will allow all owners of the HD65 to upgrade their bestselling home cinema projector to full 3D compatibility with the award winning Optoma 3D-XL Projector Adapter

The resounding success of the Optoma 3D-XL Projector Adapter has led to the recent announcement of the award for “Best Accessory 2011” from the prestigious Home Cinema Choice magazine. In making the award the judges said:

“a £280 magic box that works in tandem with a 3D-ready DLP projector to bring three-dimensional fun to your viewing room at a size no TV can match”

The world’s first 3D projector adapter, the Optoma 3D-XL adapts existing DLP® projectors to enable them to display 3D content at home. Compatible with 3D broadcast signals such as Sky 3D in the UK; 3D Blu-ray players and 3D games from the Sony® PS3, the 3D-XL simply connects between a 3D source and any 3D Ready DLP® projector. Featuring 2 x HDMI 1.4a connections, the 3D-XL allows two separate sources to be connected to it simultaneously, providing simple switching between, for example, a PS3 3D game and Sky3D broadcasts.

Justin Halls, Head of Product Management at Optoma Europe commented, “The 3D-XL has been an enormous success and it makes sense to make this technology available to our huge base of HD65 owners. The HD65 is our bestselling home cinema projector ever and we wanted to ensure that access to 3D images from the likes of Sky and the PS3 is available to as many of our customers as possible. At Optoma we believe that the best way to watch 3D is on the biggest screen possible and with a projector such as the HD65 and with 3D-XL technology this means huge images, potentially greater than 100” are possible.”

The download and installation instructions are available from the Optoma website here: www.optoma.co.uk/3dhd65 and will be available immediately. Check website for details.
