Ping testing various OBS aspects.

I am trying to play on a low ping 3D monitor to actually play stereoscopic 3d games that require quick action.

I think I got a test to test OBS's quickness of processes.

I got Sonic Generations to play on both my Sony PS3DTV (known ping time of 32 ms) and my Lenovo TN monitor (1 ms grey to grey) even though the Lenovo does not have the ability to play 3d games. The secret: 1) use a USB 3.0 Capture card to capture 3d in "top and bottom format" 2) Use OBS to separate to 2 halves, turning down the color saturation to -100% to monochrome, and then dye the whites as red in the left eye and cyan in the right eye, and displaying on the Lenovo.

You get a somewhat lower pixel monochrome anaglyph game. Yes I know I lose the in game colors, but I'm trying to make a point

If the Lenovo beats the PS3DTV by at least one whole frame, then that proves a new potential application use for OBS: converting 2d TVs into 3D TVs

If this test is successful, then all OBS needs is a way to transmit a 3d Sync Signal. I heard a 3.5mm TRS hole is sufficient enough to provide a sync signal and power an add on shutter timing device that draws its power from the TRS hole.

I have a IR shutter device that has a VESA connector. I have a VESA to 2.5 mm TRS cable and a 3.5 mm TRS to 2.5 mm converter. All I got to do is find a "VESA double female coupler" and I might be able to cobble a full color low ping solution.

I will be presenting my test on Twitch live, on the Third Thursday in the Third Dimension.

It will be this Thursday from 4 PM New York City time to whenever I get done. My Twitch ID is "tripletopper"
 
Well I did it one day early and I filmed back-to-back the Sonic generation signal going straight to the PlayStation 3D TV and simultaneously no one being captured by my Macintosh USB 3 capture card and then being transferred through OBS into my low ping monitor.

It seems like whatever ping I gained by avoiding the PlayStation 3D monitor I lost by processing the anaglyph video through OBS. PlayStation 3D TV has measured at two frame ping assuming 60 frames per second. Is that about the right processing time for those OBS applications?
