Patent number: 10264241Abstract: A method and system for viewing video content is described. In one aspect a first data stream including video content in a 2D format may be received. The first data stream may include embedded first data identifying tuning data for accessing the video content in a 3D format. The video content may be outputted in the 2D format. A notification of availability of the video content in the 3D format may be displayed to a viewer, and an instruction to tune to the video content in the 3D format may be received. The video content in the 3D format then may be outputted.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2013Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Dan Holden, Austin J.
