BTW, in the datasheet, it says stereoscopic 3d forwarding. What's that mean?
3D MVC content will be passthrough to TV? Sorry, I'm newbie to 3D

Suspect it means that Full HD 3D content, which would be carried in 1920x2205 Frame Packed mode over HDMI can be carried over DisplayLink (don't know if they use the same 1920x2205 format for DP) and then converted and output as 1920x2205 Frame Packed over HDMI? (Frame packing effectively sends the two eye feeds as consecutive 1920x1080 frames with 45 lines of blanking between them)

(MVC can't 'passthrough' - it's the compression scheme used by Blu-ray discs, not the video format carried over HDMI. MVC is the addition to H264 compression. One eye is encoded using regular 2D-compatible H264, the other eye is heavily compressed, with the secondary MVC signal allowing reconstruction of the second eye feed based on the compressed differences between the H264 'eye' and the second eye. This is much more efficient than compressing the two eyes entirely separately. Lots of people confuse MVC - which is the on-disc encoding/compression format used by Blu-ray - with 3D Frame Packing, which is the main standard used to carry 1920x1080 or 1280x720 Full resolution 3D eye feeds over HDMI connections.)

Thank you for your effort to explain.

Base on this, MVC data is 1st eye regular H264 feed + 2nd eye feed(base on the 1st eye feed to achieve heavily compressed rate) rather than simply double the data. Thus MVC is little bigger than the normal 2D file not double it. And MVC file pack in 1920x2205(1080x2+45)

What you lost me is 3D Frame Packing. I believe you mean it's the special packaging for MVC signal so the player recognizes it's MVC content and playback correctly, no?

My understanding is this, encode as MVC-> pack as 3D Frame Packing-> decode in player-> send over HDMI-> 3D compatible TV or display is irrelevant? My concern is latter 3 parts. Does it have to be hardware chip decode or soft decode or Apollo Lake DXVA2 will do? Is there any specific HDMI standard to carry MVC signal? Do I need a 3D TV to display correctly?
