The SENSIO(R) 3D encoder card and decoding IP, which have been used jointly with the satellite broadcasting technology of International Datacasting Corporation for the sporting event broadcast, are being demonstrated in the SENSIO suite at the Flamingo hotel (room Carson I). Through the system of 3D cameras, the encoder and the decoder, visitors can film themselves and watch themselves live in three dimensions on an LCD HD television.
Innovation: 3D software for PCS
SENSIO(R) 3D technology is now available as software. It can fit into any media playing software, enabling 3D content to be watched on a computer with a 2D or 3D screen. For the S3D demonstration in the SENSIO suite, 3D content is streamed via internet on a PC and is decoded and displayed using the software. This innovation enables live 3D broadcasting of sporting events, concerts and more through the Internet, making large-scale access to these events possible.
