  • Sky Chooses Vizrt for Stereo 3D Channel
    Sky Chooses Vizrt for Stereo 3D Channel Bergen, Norway, March 23, 2010. Vizrt Ltd. (Oslo Main List: VIZ) Sky Sports today announced that it has chosen Vizrt as the core graphics platform for its 3DTV channel, due to launch in April. Darren Long, Sky Sports’ Director of Operations described his reasons for the decision, “We have worked with Vizrt for more than ten years. They have supported us with excellent graphics for our SD sports coverage, then later for HD and now they will do so again for 3D. Vizrt has always been a real-time 3D system and this meant it was easy for our designers to convert Sky Sports’ current HD designs to their stereo 3D equivalents. The results are stunning and the graphics drew special attention from viewers when we recently ran our world’s first stereo 3D football match trial. I am sure that Vizrt’s graphics will enhance our new 3D channel, just as they do for all our other channels.” The stereoscopic Vizrt system uses a Viz Trio CG operator interface, controlling a Viz render engine PC. This powerful graphics engine uses two graphics cards and the separately rendered HD channels for each eye are synchronised by a new application developed for the process. The stereoscopic convergence point and depth are also adjustable on the fly to allow for changing camera views. The system can also be driven by GPI triggers from the vision- mixing desk. Vizrt UK’s Managing Director, Rex Jenkins added, “Sky Sports demands the highest quality from its graphics systems and we are glad to meet their needs.

  • To Fully Enjoy the Magic of Sky 3D on Your Sky 3D TV, Follow Our Guide to Achieving the Ultimate 3D Viewing Experience
    To fully enjoy the magic of Sky 3D on your Sky 3D TV, follow our guide to achieving the ultimate 3D viewing experience. You’ll be sitting back and watching all the action leap out into your home in no time. Barclays Premier League showing on Sky 3D 1 To help you enjoy the very best 3D TV experience, check out our handy hints below. It’ll only take a few minor tweaks here and there, but we think you’ll agree they’ll be worth it when you see the end results jumping out of your TV screen. 5 handy hints for the ultimate 3D viewing experience 3D mode First things first. To view the Sky 3D channel, your TV needs to be in its 3D mode. Your TV manual should show you how to do this. Please be aware that some screens do not allow you “menu” access to brightness when in 3D mode. Lighting and reflections Dimming the lights or closing your curtains can really add to the joy of 3D. It helps you forget you’re in your living room and gets you into the thick of the action of the latest blockbuster movies, sporting events or concerts. Brightness Your 3D glasses can sometimes make the TV screen appear a bit darker. If the screen does appear dimmed in 3D mode, turn up the brightness a little – that’s if your TV doesn’t do it automatically. Kylie Minogue – Aphrodite Les Folies – Live in London 2011 showing on Sky 3D 2 Best position To enhance your enjoyment (and let you see the best 3D images) make sure you’re not sitting too close or too far away from your 3D TV (see our recommendation below).

  • 3D Television - Wikipedia
    3D television - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_television From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 3D television (3DTV) is television that conveys depth perception to the viewer by employing techniques such as stereoscopic display, multi-view display, 2D-plus-depth, or any other form of 3D display. Most modern 3D television sets use an active shutter 3D system or a polarized 3D system, and some are autostereoscopic without the need of glasses. According to DisplaySearch, 3D televisions shipments totaled 41.45 million units in 2012, compared with 24.14 in 2011 and 2.26 in 2010.[1] As of late 2013, the number of 3D TV viewers An example of three-dimensional television. started to decline.[2][3][4][5][6] 1 History 2 Technologies 2.1 Displaying technologies 2.2 Producing technologies 2.3 3D production 3TV sets 3.1 3D-ready TV sets 3.2 Full 3D TV sets 4 Standardization efforts 4.1 DVB 3D-TV standard 5 Broadcasts 5.1 3D Channels 5.2 List of 3D Channels 5.3 3D episodes and shows 5.3.1 1980s 5.3.2 1990s 5.3.3 2000s 5.3.4 2010s 6 World record 7 Health effects 8See also 9 References 10 Further reading The stereoscope was first invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1838.[7][8] It showed that when two pictures 1 z 17 21. 11. 2016 22:13 3D television - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_television are viewed stereoscopically, they are combined by the brain to produce 3D depth perception.
