Automatic 3-Dimensional Z-Axis Settings
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, a z-axis depth to utilize for display of on screen graphics associated with 3D video content;
generating signals representing the 3D video content comprising the on screen graphics at the z-axis depth; and
outputting the generated signals.

Abstract
Methods and structures related to generation of and display of on screen graphics, such as content, closed captioning, channel number, and volume bar, with 3D video content are described. A computing device may determine a z-axis depth to utilize for display of on screen graphics 3D video content. A video image of the 3D video content and the on screen graphics at the z-axis depth may be generated, and the generated video image may be outputted to a display device. In another example, frames of 3D video content and a z-axis setting profile may be received at a central facility for further processing. The z-axis setting profile may include a z-axis depth value for display of on screen graphics. The z-axis setting profile may be embedded with the frames of 3D video content into a video stream, and the video stream may be transmitted to a customer premises.
