A Brief History of 3D TV Channel

A 3D television (3D-TV) can simply be explained as “a television set that employs the techniques of 3D presentation, such as multi-view capture, stereoscopic capture, or 2D-plus-depth etc.” This write-up gives you some information about the 3D TV channel.

Basic idea:

o    There are quite a lot of techniques that are used to generate and put on view the 3D moving pictures. The necessary prerequisite is to “exhibit the offset images that are filtered independently to the left and right eye.”

o    The 3D-ready TV sets are those that can function both in 2D mode as well as in 3D mode in combination with a “set-top-box” and an “LCD shutter glass”. Some of the well known companies for this 3D TV sets are Panasonic, Samsung, Philips, Mitsubishi etc.

Some details regarding the history of 3D TV channel:

o    Starting in the year 2008, the 3D programming is a broadcast on the “Japanese cable channel BS 11” more or less four times per day.

o    The “Cablevision” commenced a 3D version of its MSG channel on in the year 2010 in the month of March, and it was accessible only to the Cablevision subscribers on channel 1300. The channel is out-and-out principally for the ‘sports broadcasts, including MSG's 3D broadcast of a New York Rangers-New York Islanders game.

o    At Brazil the “Rede TV” was the first earthly television to broadcast the 3D signal without any restraint for all the 3D enabled viewers on May 21st.

o    There are quite a lot of other European pay-TV set of connections who are also planning for the 3D TV channels and a few of them are in progress for the test  broadcasting on additional Astra satellites.
