I'm just curious how everybody is setting up the 8000 to work in 3D. My thinking is that a 4ME desk would become a 2ME switcher in 3D and you'd just link ME1 & 3 ME2 & 4 and have the normal for 4 keys per ME. The other option is keeping 4 ME's and only having 2 keys per ME. I'm just interested in whats been done currently. The 8000X takes away all these questions.

For the 3D production of the 2010 Masters, I used the Main/Sub method.  This enabled me to still have all 4 MEs.  We only had a single graphics device plus a Spotbox, so the number of keys wasn't an issue.  The Main/Sub method worked well, and I will use it in the future as long as keyers aren't an issue. 

I suppose a hybrid of the two methods would also be possible.  You could do Main/Sub for PGM with perhaps 1 key for Spotbox and 1 for Tele.   Pairing ME3 & ME1, would give you a full ME with up to 4 keyers.  ME2 could than be Main/Sub with 2 keyers.  If you only needed 3 keyers for the ME3/ME1 pair, you could create a 4th ME on the sub side with a single key.

You could do it either way that you're describing.  What we've been teaching is the use of the Main/Sub links...that way you keep the 4 M/E's, keeping track of the left eye/right eye path is easier, and because there aren't THAT many 3D graphics sources available yet, the limitation of 2 keyers per M/E isn't that big of a deal (yet).
