Although getting a lot of press lately, glasses-free (autostereoscopic) 3DTVs do have their share of issues. First, the viewer must sit in a specific area. In the case of Toshiba’s glasses-free 3D TV, the recommended viewing angle is 40 degrees (20 degrees on each side), and a distance of three feet for the 20-inch model, and two feet for the 12-inch model. Second, normal 2D programs become “a messy blur.” For these reasons, the target markest for such devices for awhile is likely to be digital signage and gaming.  Comments are closed Sales of Blu-ray players (not including Sony PlayStation 3) in the United States, Japan, and Western Europe are expected to top nearly 24 million units in 2010, including sales of 11 million players in the fourth quarter. At least 10% of these are expected to offer 3D playback, increasing to more than 25% in 2011. By 2014, nearly 40% of homes across these regions is expected to own a 3D Blu-ray player, recorder, or home theater. Comments are closed Rather than borrowing another manufacturer’s complete design, Krell has designed the player themselves, cherry-picking best-of-breed parts to handle each function. Sigma Designs got the nod for the video processor (SMP8644), with the 12-bit VXP processor (GF9452) on board to handle upconversion, de-interlacing and other video-related heavy lifting. The player supports a vertical stretch mode for eliminating the black bars from Cinemascope content, for use in Constant Image Height (CIH) front projection systems. Comments are closed The effort to float 3DTV as a viable value-added product for carriers is picking up steam in Europe where French telco Free has rolled out plans for 3D channels on its IPTV service. Competitors Orange, Canal and Numericable also have 3D offerings. Comments are closed |
