Harris powers 3DTV workflows for broadcasters. 3DTV is set to be the next big thing in TV, and Harris employs a practical approach to helping broadcasters implement this emerging technology in a cost-effective manner. Whether a broadcaster is building a facility from the ground up or adding 3DTV capabilities to an existing operation, Harris delivers a complete 3DTV workflow — from content contribution to processing to distribution. Forming the core of this workflow are proven Harris technologies including CENTRIO™ and QVM6800+ multiviewers; Harris automation systems; the IconMaster™ master control switcher; Inscriber® production graphics systems; NetVX™ and NetPlus™ networking and encoding; NEXIO® ingest and playout servers; OPTO+™ fiber optics; Platinum™ routers; the QuiC™ media analysis server; Velocity™ editors; and X50/X85™ signal processors. Harris is an active participant in industry-wide 3DTV standardization efforts, and the company's 3DTV solutions encompass both the baseband and the file-based workflow needed to support 3DTV. Customers can buy Harris equipment today with confidence that it will be ready for 3DTV when they are — whether that's soon or further down the road. Most of the Harris 1.5 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s products are software-keyed, so customers don't pay for 3DTV support until they're ready to make the leap to 3DTV broadcasting. A Harris 3DTV workflow enables broadcasters to efficiently move bandwidth-hungry signals inside and between facilities economically — and they don't have to overhaul their infrastructure to be 3DTV ready.

Avid @ 3D Masters 2010
It’s back to the future faster than you can say, “Marty McFly,” for the stereoscopic format. Latter-day advancements have rekindled a tidal wave of interest in stereo 3D for television applications. Avid is at the forefront of that wave,enabling its customers to create the world’s most-watched programming on any-sized screen. Listening carefully to those interested and involved in the evolution of the 3D format, Avid was the first to understand the market ramifications of the technology and respond its burgeoning popularity among customers and consumers alike. With the introduction of Avid Media Composer 3.5 over a year and a half ago, Avid introduced 3D technology to the editorial process. Continuing advancements since then have included the ability to edit in left eye, right eye, or stereo as well as view playback on low-cost consumer monitors. Moreover, Avid provides a wide range of format support and metadata handling throughout the entire editing operation. Enabling the industry to better serve a growing constituency of 3D aficionados and stay at the forefront of this rapidly-evolving technology, Avid is committed to helping customers build a better business by continuing their 3D journey “back to the future”—now and in the years to come

ColorCode 3-D from the Sirius 3-D - ColorCode 3-D Division offers a unique solution for broadcasting in 3-D today and removes the need to wait for industry 3-D standards to become established. Distribution of inexpensive ColorCodeViewerT Paper 3-D glasses is ideal for promotional campaigns and enables effective and enjoyable 3-D experiences for all viewers. The system works on any standard television and with a new, unique processing module, it is possible to create high-quality 3-D images for viewing even on analogue television sets. A unique feature is that viewers without glasses watching the 3-D broadcasts will simply see a totally acceptable 2-D image, which is an important consideration for sponsors and advertisers. Filmmakers, broadcasters, and advertisers alike are catching on fast to the potential of the ColorCode 3-D system. Last year over 100 million pairs of ColorCodeViewer Paper 3-D glasses were given away as part of the "Monsters vs. Aliens" and "SoBe Lifewater" Super Bowl promotion, while in the UK, Channel 4 used the system to promote a huge range of new and archived content as part of its "3D Week". In May this year a Belgian broadcaster executed a direct-mail campaign in 3-D to essentially all Flemish speaking residents in the country. www.colorcode3d.com<http://www.colorcode3d.com>
