3D?... Lies!

[markh]

We've been involved in stereoscopic3d for about 18 months now and we've seen a significant jump in demand. It started in film but now there is a real possibility that we might see some broadcast activity in the not too distant future. There's a couple of white papers that might be of interest (3D and SIP2100).

Just as Arri has never developed film stock, I do not think it is RED´s duty to get the workflow sorted.

That's not really a fair comparison.

More accurate would be to ask, if Arri was to develop a new camera which used 39mm film, would you expect them to play some role in getting a 39mm film stock created?

I think the answer would have to be, yes.

RED is involved in post as the only way to get to the files created by the camera natively is via a licensing agreement and the SDK. So manufacturers are dependent on how, what, and when access to the essence and metadata become available. Audio is an example of that right now - not yet available via the SDK.

Hope Red will have more info about Stereoscopic Software tomorrow and not just Hardware. Unless its more info about the Stereo Mounts. :innocent:

3D in every Booth at CES 2009

3D in every Booth at CES 2009

Ok... not EVERY booth, but INTEL, SONY, and just about every LCD or projector manufacturer.

For flat panel monitors there are three basic approaches. The first (and oldest) uses shuttered glasses to display alternating frames to each eye i saw very little of this technology.

The prevalent methods use polarized glasses, either circular polarized, which allows the head to tilt while viewing, or linear polarized, which is cheaper.

There are two approaches to creating two polarized views. Switching, in which the polarization is switched electronically, and striped, in which alternate pixels have opposite polarizing filters built in. Switching gives us higher resolution because all pixels are seen by each eye.

Of course for projection, the simplest method is to use two video projectors, each with a polarizer. Sony showed an Over and Under adapter made to fit in front of the lens on their 4K projector.

So, from what i have seen, the presentation side is ready for 3D
