Making full 3D coverage easier
With comprehensive control over 3D parameters and a sophisticated algorithmic approach to 3D synthesis, this application generates convincing 3D from a wide variety of source material.
Domestic 3D TVs use a relatively simple technique to synthesise 3D, but Sony has developed a professional version that allows much greater control over the process, leading to better, more constant results from a wider variety of source material.
Used in conjunction with Sony’s Cell-based MPE-200 image processing platform, this application has a wide spectrum of uses, from low-cost post production conversion of 2D sources into 3D video, to providing extra 3D viewpoints at sports events where there are not enough “true” 3D camera pairs to give comprehensive coverage.
The system is ideal for post-producing match highlights, where output from any camera, including small, specialised devices such as goalmouth cameras, can be converted to 3D, helping to keep the entire match coverage in the 3D domain.
