A three-dimensional source device provides a three-dimensional display signal for a display via a high speed digital interface, such as HDMI. The three-dimensional display signal comprises a sequence of frames. The sequence of frames comprises units, each unit corresponding to frames comprising video information intended to be composited and displayed as a three-dimensional image. The three-dimensional source device includes three-dimensional transfer information comprising at least information about the video frames in the unit. The display detects the three-dimensional transfer information, and generates the display control signals based in dependence on the three-dimensional transfer information. The three-dimensional transfer information in an additional info frame packet comprises information about the multiplexing scheme for multiplexing frames into the three-dimensional display signal, the multiplexing scheme being selected of group of multiplexing schemes including frame alternating multiplexing, the three-dimensional transfer information indicating the number of frames being sequentially arranged within the video data period.
