The Explosion of 3D TV Technology

Interestingly, 3D TV Technology has long been existing for numerous years now. This unique engineering science is now currently being observed in not only the movie industry, but at the present, there is definitely an explosion of 3D technological innovation also being made attainable to the consumer in the HDTV market place. There are currently products being launched to the television market place which are in the market today for purchase and use in your personal Home 3D Theater experience.
On this web page I will disclose what choices in addition to technological innovations are now on the market and being bought as well as exactly what might be attainable in the future. It is questionable as to how soon many of these products and this kind of innovative technological innovation are going to be snapped up by eager buyers. There are actually leaders of companies that are investing huge monetary resources in the improvement of this new wave of 3D technologies and who believe that inside the next 10 years the sale of 3D products will encompass HALF of their television sales income!
We've already had the Consumer Electronics Show 2010 and there are actually a number of ideas that we can learn from the event. We now have found out that the tablet PC is going to be huge as well as 3D TV technology. Looking back at the show, a variety of consumer electronic makers had samples of this new upcoming 3D technology on showcase. The manufacturers ranged from Panasonic, JVC, Samsung as well as others. This technological innovation was certainly the "talk of the show".
There are lots of manufacturers which are seeing the writing on the wall and are now scrambling to put in place innovations, compatible solutions and products so that they can claim a share within this potentially explosive market. For example, Interactive TV Today is taking a closer overall look at each and every 3D TV from the 2010 CES and has picked out some companies that they are waiting to see what they will be providing during the new year. CableLabs is offering testing capabilities for 3D TV implementation on cable. These vary from frame-compatible to spatial multiplexing solutions.
JVC has announced that they are going to be launching a brand new IF-2D3D1 Stereoscopic Image Processor that will actually convert 2D to 3D. This will ensure it is considerably less difficult for 3D content producers to work with their archived 2D subject matter. Comcast announced at CES that they are intending to launch a video on demand service. Movie pictures already anticipated to show up include "The Final Destination," "My Bloody Valentine," and many more. ESPN will launch a 3D channel in June and is planning on delivering in excess of 85 live games.
Organizations like Panasonic and Mitsubishi are already working on a wide variety of HD 3D enabled TVs. Inside the television industry, this is looked at as the 1st big improvement after the introduction of flat panel TV sets. Sony is likewise showing interest in this particular latest technology that is being popularized with new 3D movies hitting the cinema such as Avatar.
So, the "gold rush" is on and increasing in momentum. Organizations are spending huge amounts of financial resources in the creation of devices and solutions including positioning themselves for the future demand and possibilities yet to come. Timing and the most beneficial choices are now extremely important. There will be chances for new and existing manufacturers to take huge leaps forward. Small companies that tend not to lead, or at least closely follow, this new revolution will simply dissapear into the past.

DLP® 3D Ready

Mitsubishi over the last few years has developed and made available for purchase HDTVs that are all 3D Ready. All of the other "major players" in the television industry have followed suit, but not all of them have 3D television sets that are currently available to purchase. Since there are a number of ways of displaying 3D on a screen either from rear projection, front projection or in-screen technologies, some companies are still in the developmental phase.
Some companies, like Samsung are exploring ALL of the technologies and developing products with each of the possibilities. Even Mitsubishi isn't putting all of their eggs into the DLP® basket.
DLP® technology (developed by Texas Instruments) is what is currently being used on the Big Screen at theaters to see such movies as Avatar that are now becoming so popular. This is an interesting fact that many people do not know: 3D movies were being shown in theaters as early as 1954! See if you can tell me (by leaving a comment at the bottom of this page) what the name of the movie was and who directed in it by watching the videos on this page ;-)

OLED Technology

Not content with announcing that they will bring 3D imaging technology to market in 2010, both Sony and Samsung showed off some rather cool 3D OLED concepts off at CES 2010.

Sony had a whole section dedicated to 3D OLED and while it's unlikely these TVs will see the light of day for at least a year or two, it does point to just how stunning 3D on TVs will be in the future. Using OLED technology, 3D is brighter than it has ever been. Brightness has always been an issue when it comes to 3D but Sony's OLED sets not only solve that problem, they also make your jaw drop due to just how dazzling the images look.

Samsung also showed off some OLED concepts putting up some nifty-looking AMOLED displays. Though not as dazzling as what Sony had at its booth, again the idea of watching 3D on a bright, wafer-thin television set is a great one. We are hoping, though, that Samsung can sort out the dead pixel problem it seemed to have in its AMOLED 3D demos. When we picked LG up on this, however, they insisted it was because the panels were still very much in the concept stage.

Blu-ray Technology

A current, single-sided, standard DVD can hold 4.7 GB (gigabytes) of information. That's about the size of an average two-hour, standard-definition movie with a few extra features. But a high-definition movie, which has a much clearer image, takes up about five times more bandwidth and therefore requires a disc with about five times more storage. As TV sets and movie studios make the move to high definition, consumers are going to need playback systems with a lot more storage capacity.

Blu-ray is the next-generation digital video disc. It can record, store and play back high-definition video and digital audio, as well as computer data. The advantage to Blu-ray is the sheer amount of information it can hold:

A single-layer Blu-ray disc, which is roughly the same size as a DVD, can hold up to 27 GB of data -- that's more than two hours of high-definition video or about 13 hours of standard video.

A double-layer Blu-ray disc can store up to 50 GB, enough to hold about 4.5 hours of high-definition video or more than 20 hours of standard video. And there are even plans in the works to develop a disc with twice that amount of storage.

Final 3-D Blu-ray Specification Announced
Posted December 17, 2009 05:48 AM by Juan Calonge

The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) today announced the finalization and release of the "Blu-ray 3D" specification. It leverages the technical advantages of the BD format to deliver "unmatched picture quality" as well as uniformity and compatibility across the full range of Blu-ray 3D products, both hardware and software. The specification is also designed to allow the PS3 to play back Blu-ray 3D content in 3-D.

Notably, the specification allows every player and movie supporting it to deliver full HD 1080p resolution to each eye. Moreover, the specification is display agnostic, meaning that Blu-ray 3D products will deliver the 3-D image to any compatible 3-D display, regardless of whether that display uses LCD, plasma or other technology and regardless of what 3-D technology the display uses to deliver the image to the viewer's eyes.

Regarding compatibility, the specification supports playback of 2-D discs in forthcoming 3-D players and can enable 2-D playback of Blu-ray 3D discs on the installed base of Blu-ray Disc players currently in homes around the world.

"Throughout this year, movie goers have shown an overwhelming preference for 3-D when presented with the option to see a theatrical release in either 3-D or 2-D," said Victor Matsuda, chairman, BDA Global Promotions Committee. "We believe this demand for 3-D content will carry over into the home now that we have, in Blu-ray Disc, a medium that can deliver a quality Full HD 3-D experience to the living room."

"From a technological perspective, it is simply the best available platform for bringing 3D into the home," said Benn Carr, chairman, BDA 3D Task Force. "The disc capacity and bit rates Blu-ray Disc provides enable us to deliver 3D in Full HD 1080p high definition resolution."
