1. In an apparatus comprising an output for transmitting 2D video data and 3D video data, a method for activating 3D output of the apparatus comprising the steps of:
- coupling a peripheral device to a system bus of the apparatus via a system bus compatible cable;
the peripheral device transmitting over the bus to an operating system of the apparatus a request to transmit to the output multiple image stream 3D video data; and
the apparatus transmitting the multiple image stream 3D video data to the output in response to the request.

10. A peripheral device comprising:
-
a cable capable of coupling to a system port of a video box which permits access to an internal system bus of the video box for system compatible peripheral devices, wherein the video box includes a video output for outputting 2D image data and 3D image data;
a driver compatible with the system bus for accessing a video subsystem of the video box over the system bus and for inspecting a status of page flip signals in the video subsystem; and
an output for outputting sync signals representing an equivalent status of the page flip signals. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
