Abstract
A line blanker system for converting a stereoscopic image into a line-blanked stereoscopic image suitable for stereoscopic viewing on a standard non-interleaved display device is provided. The system includes a method for controlling the line blanker. According to the invention, one can enable and disable the line blanker, identify the first line of the image being processed and determine whether the first line is for viewing by the left eye or the right eye of a viewer. In addition, the invention includes a line doubler. The line doubler provides enhanced brightness and resolution by replacing the blanked line with a double of the line immediately adjacent to the blanked line.
