[quote="martinhz"]This I got from our Sony rep. enjoy Martin[/quote] That is pretty cool, funny seeing a switcher with only 3 buttons labeled for cameras. Here is some info from the TV end user from this link Samsung also showed 3D demos on its new DLP and plasma TVs. According to Steve Panosian, director of visual display marketing, Samsung plans to roll out 3D capability to LCD TVs next year as well. Panosian said Samsung?s goal is to have 3D capability built in to TVs next year. Currently, TVs have to be connected to a PC to be able to play back 3D content.

This is the company that makes 3d video gear for medical purposes. I've seen it demonstrated in eye surgery and it's pretty cool.

wow. so whats the thought here? a replay effect that jumps off the screen and comes at you when going to it? The terminator guy jumping and bounding and reaching out to you off the screen? i think all this stuff will be very cool. wow, whats next after this hits the air for 10 years? i think there will be the thing where on startrek or star wars where theres the 3d beam or halogram of someone that they talk to....thats how we will watch tv.

were you at the games talked about in the article? was the set up any different than any other game? or same stuff and just more of it? you happen to see any of the footage with the glasses or anything?

Quantel was the company showing the 3dHD demo. It was extremely impressive. Considering that ESPN and Foxsports are good Quantel customers, I wouldn't be surprised to see this technology take off. The football and basketball were extraordinary. It will open a new world for sports graphics, as well. Also, NHK was showing the Ultra-Definition TV. Sports in 8K resolution.

[quote="Mike Cumbo"]Considering how some camera ops have such a bad time keeping ONE camera in focus, I wonder how they would deal with two???[/quote] I'm assuming that the zoom and focus of the two lenses are coupled. The picture I saw had two ENG-style lenses sitting next to each other. I think studio-style lenses are too bulky to get close enough together, so no long tele looks on this show. [quote]How do you do handheld with two LDK-6000's or Sony's on one shoulder?[/quote] That's what I was wondering actually. There was a picture that accompanied one of the articles I saw and the camera looked bulky as hell. I'm just going to assume that there weren't any handhelds, because even thinking about that thing on my shoulder made it twinge.

anyone know anyone who may have worked the game? it was southwest fsn for the mavs-clippers game. and i think the thing in cleveland was done in san antonio and broadcasted back to cleveland for last years finals, so it may have been abcs crew there for the finals.

My bad. the article is actually from Broadcast Engineering. this is the actual link. the article is from the july 16-2007 issue. this one is actually lengthy. the one from the latest tv technology mag is only a corner of the page write up. copy and paste the link, takes you right there. still wonder how far away we are from seeing the Superbowl or Daytona in 3D. Hell, or maybe something like CSI or the Grammys will beat us to the punch.

There was a booth at NAB showing a HD3D demo. It used the old "red-blue" 3D style glasses that the viewer wears, and it was kind of impressive. I didn't see any acquisition equipment or the playback device, but I did see some guy walking around the show floor with 2 HDV cameras on a single mount...I assume that this was for the same system. I did not see 2 broadcast-style cameras attached together anywhere to achieve this.

Okay, I've done some hardcore Googling and all I can find are press releases that are dumbed down for the general public, with no actual technical information. I can't even find a web site for the company that is handling all of this.

the article states that every 3d system had two hd cams for stereo vision. there is an article in an older tv technology that goes more in depth if you google, cavaliers 3d broadcast something like that.

How is it even technically achieved? Does every camera have two side-by-side lenses or something?
