I have a 3D tv connected to my PC via HDMI and a normal Eizo display. When I start a 3D movie on my PC it opens on my Eizo display. Then I sent the PowerDVD window to my TV (using WindowsKey+Shift+ArrowKey). When the PowerDVD window is on my TV, I can activate 3D and all works fine. But my TV is 8 meters away from my PC, and I can't see my mouse pointer on the tv. So to get the mouse pointer on the 3D button I have to ask someone else to tell me where to move the pointer.

My question: How can I assign a short cut key to the function of activating 3D or can you tell me which short cut there is. Or can you please add this button to the PowerDVD remote app for iPhone.

(I also asked this question as a support ticket, but I did not receive any response

)

Try this.
In the upper right hand corner of DVD12 there is a small "TV" Icon, click on that to change to Cinema mode, which will make things bigger.

If you're still in Windows this will not work of course.

I am not familiar with this setting as I have never used it, but it's supposed to take care of the problem(s) you're having.

Jeff, thanks for the reply, but making things bigger will not help.

The TV is 8 meters away and around a corner. So I there is no keyboard option to switch to 3D, I will still need someone to tell me where my mouse pointer is, or I will need to keep on walking between TV and PC and carefully move my mouse until it is on the right spot and then hit the left mouse key.

Well unless Cyberlink comes up with a keyboard short cut, there isn't much you can do. You didn't mention in your first post it was around a corner.

Maybe move the computer to where the TV is, buy another computer for deticated 3D playback, but if you're going to do that it would be cheaper to get a stand-alone 3D player.

Perhaps some carefully placed mirrors, although that may seem like a silly suggestion, but it would work.

If you haven't payed for the software yet, why don't you simply get a stand-alone player, they are not that expensive now.

Cyberlink may take up to two weeks to respond, assuming they have an answer.

Thought of something else that should work and is much more practical.

A wireless USB mouse, it will have to be a good one from Logitech and have a long range, but it should work. The newer ones are better at greater distances, a Bluetooth one would not work.

It could be use on an end or coffee table.

Here is a guy with your same problem and he went with a Microsoft product which according to him have a 30 foot range.

Thanks for the good tip. I was hoping for a software solution, already did spent a lot of money...
I hope the cyberlink programmers can add a shortcut and add the 3D button to the remote app for iPhone.
