Do you mean DP++ or actual protocol converters? DP++ is just HDMI with
a some electrical tweaks, but IIRC proper DP defines 3D stereo quite
differently than HDMI. I'm not sure if we should be able to push HDMI
style 3D through DP->HDMI/DP++ adaptors. The specs are unfortunately
very vague when it comes to such devices.
