Content production for stereoscopic 3D-TV displays has become mature in the past years. The content is usually shot using two cameras as the glasses-based target devices require two views as input. Beside stereoscopic 3D-TVs, huge progress has also been achieved in the improvement of the image quality of glasses-free auto-stereoscopic displays and light-field displays. Concerning the latter two display families, the content production workflow is less elaborated and more complex, as the number of required views differs considerably and is likely to increase in the near future. As a co-existence of all 3D display families can be expected for the next years, one aims to establish an efficient content production workflow which yields to high quality content for all 3D-TV displays. Against this background, we present a content production workflow which uses as acquisition device a four camera rig involving a central narrow baseline and a wide baseline with two satellite cameras and propose a multi-view video plus depth generation workflow optimized for the four-camera setup.
