Bino (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux) is a freeware video player with two special features:
- Support for 3D videos, with a wide variety of input and output formats.
- Support for multi-display video, e.g. for powerwalls, Virtual Reality installations and other multi-projector setups.
Bino plays stereoscopic videos, also known as 3D videos. Such videos have separate views for the left and right eye and thus allow depth perception through stereopsis.
Supported input formats (modern formats can be autodetected):
- Monoscopic (2D) video
- Left and right view in separate video streams and/or files
- Left and right view side by side (optionally with half width)
- Left and right view on top of each other (optionally with half height)
- Left and right view in alternating rows
Supported output formats:
- Anaglyph red-cyan glasses (this works with every display)
- Bino uses the high-quality Dubois method to produce anaglyph images. This gives far better results than the usual full-color and half-color methods.
- Left and right view side by side (used by some 3D displays)
- Left and right view on top of each other (used by some 3D displays)
- Left and right view in alternating rows or columns (used by some 3D displays)
- OpenGL quad-buffered stereo (only available with some graphics cards)
