Stereo3D

Stereoscopic 3D is the hottest topic in post and broadcast today and Quantel offers advanced Stereo3D technology that enables post houses and broadcasters to get into this exciting new area now. And it's growing fast - all the major Hollywood studios are planning and producing Stereo3D movies. Broadcasters are exploring its unique potential for attracting and retaining viewers, with the first stereoscopic 3D TV channels already on air. Live event producers are experimenting with simultaneous or time-delayed stereo broadcast to large remote audiences; and large screen corporate productions and theme parks are already on the Stereo3D bandwagon.

The reason that Stereo3D is taking off is simple. Not only have the acquisition and display technology issues been resolved, but Quantel has provided the final link in the chain, making Stereo3D post production a real business proposition for the first time.
