Overview

With the evolution of colour digital television and digital broadcasting systems we have seen the rapid evolution of TV and video over the past 10 years. Direct satellite and digital cable systems no offer both standard definition and High definition TV. Soon analogue terrestrial TV broadcasting will be replaced entirely with digital and HDTV over terrestrial systems. The natural next step after HDTV will be the introduction of 3D services but the standards and technologies for this is more complex and, until recently, less well developed.

This course will provide a technical overview of the challenges of delivering 3D video services. It will address the visual perception issues as well as the mechanisms of encoding and transporting 3D TV services. It will then look at the competing systems that already exist as well as the parts of the standardization that have been completed and available for vendor independent standardization.

Objectives

Upon completion candidates will be able to:

  • Identify the visual perception concepts needed to deliver 3D visual systems
  • Appreciate how 3D video can be encoded
  • Examine how MPEG transport streams can be adapted for 3D video transport
  • Compare HDTV and Multiview 3D HDTV encoding
  • Discuss evolving products that exist for 3D implementation
