Discovery, Sony & Imax to start 3DTV channel
|
ESPN announced the same thing for 2010 this afternoon:
ESPN to unveil 3-D television network in 2010 - ESPN |
Is this going to be anaglyphs or will they air two separate streams and it will be up to the receiver to convert it into whatever 3D format the TV/monitor can display best?
|
It definitely will not be anaglyph, but more likely a single stream encoded in side by side, interleave, or something like Sensio. A dual-stream format compatible with the new TVs being announced this week at CES is also a possibility but it raises the question about cable/satellite compatibility with current infrastructure. In other words will it be single stream compatible with current signal distribution systems (like simple side-by-side squashed that NHK uses in Japan) or will you have to rent a new decoding box from your provider that will convert it into the S3D format of your display?
I'm sure there will be more details coming soon from CES. |
OK, thanks, Tim. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

As Tim said, there is quite a bit in the works. The early channels just need to be compatible with some of the products already in or upcoming, as well as those that can be perhaps S/W updated, and don't have to wait for standards. Many of the products can be seen here: 3D :: HDTV.BIZ-NEWS.COM
