TVBEurope presents Europe’s premier conference dedicated to the business of 3DTV. 3DTV is already where HD was five years ago, but it will require additional infrastructure, new investment and extra technology. 3D Masters examines the implications.

MasterImage 3D is to launch a content portal for streaming 3D content to mobile devices in-conjunction with a major consumer electronics brand in the second half of this year.

T&M equipment manufacturer OmniTek is adding a range of new features to its 3D Toolset for OTM and OTR waveform analysers.

By most accounts there is just not enough 3D content for 3DTV to take off. Or perhaps there are not enough 3DTV displays out there for advertisers and broadcasters to create 3D content.

There has been another demonstration of high frame rate projection and also a display of a stereoscopic film at 4K resolution as momentum slowly builds toward a seachange in theatrical exhibition.

Turkish sports distributor Saran Media is to convert 2D sports programming into 3D for broadcasters and mobile carriers. It will use the realtime conversion platform of Isreali company SterGen.

Eyeheight is launching a dual-channel stereoscopic video legaliser, the LE-3D, and a stereoscopic 3D colour corrector, the CC-3D.

Is the previous trajectory charted by HD the most pertinent guide to an emergence of 3DTV as a mature product? Adrian Pennington reports.

Although 3D has yet to prove the game-changer which consumer electronics manufacturers were looking for to replace HD, it is fast becoming a standard feature on all new displays with more manufacturers adopting passive glasses technology.

A video processor embedded in a new Sony 3DTV can improve the quality of 3D content. According to Sony representatives during demonstrations of the technology at CES, this could even mean improving the experience of watching poorly converted 2D-3D content.

Arri is participating in a project to design and construct a holoscopic camera, which allows realtime capture of 3D scenes. An array of microlenses, devised by researchers at Brunel University, has been apparently successfully integrated with an Arri Alexa.

German facility CinePostproduction has built a large-scale mobile screening room for viewing 3D rushes on location. It made its debut on the set of Detlev Buck's feature Measuring the World.

A 3D on demand store is launching from Sensio Technologies to boost consumer 3D adoption. With 3DGO!, consumers across the US will, from this spring, be able to access 3D titles in the Sensio Hi-Fi 3D format.

TVBEurope has announced a new event, Fast Turnaround TV, for 13 March, and confirmed 2012 dates of 13 June for 3D Masters and 3 July for The IT Broadcast Workflow.
