Sisvel Technology founder Roberto Dini will explain the company’s new format for 3D broadcasting at the forthcoming European TV Forum.
The new 3D Tile Format 2 unveiled by Sisvel Technology claims ‘significant advantages’ over current methods, formatting stereoscopic images by integrating two 720p frames within a single 1080p frame. This is reckoned to deliver higher-quality images for 3D content while maintaining backward compatibility to allow viewing of 3D transmission as 2D images on full HD TV sets. The reconstructed right and left images maintain their original 720p spatial and temporal resolution, giving of both versions the benefit of the original picture, and the transmission of both 2D and 3D can be achieved without the need for increased bandwidth.
The European Forum on Digital TV will be held 9-10 June in Lucca, Italy, when Dini will also introduce the partners of the so-called 3D Village. This is an initiative that creates a common space for broadcasters, content providers, researchers, and manufacturers experimenting with 3D Tile Format 2 technology.
