3D HD Mavericks Take to the Skies

摘要

The case for 3D high-definition technology got a major boost last week as the regional sports network Fox Sports Net Southwest, the Dallas Mavericks and the NBA teamed up to deliver the first live 3D hi-def broadcast via satellite in the U.S. The Mavericks' March 25 home game against the Los Angeles Clippers was produced in 3D HD and delivered via satellite to the Magnolia Theater in Dallas, using Pace 3D cameras to shoot the game, Harris MPEG-4 encoders to compress the signals and Sony CineAlta 4K digital cinema projectors to display it to several hundred VIPs and invited fans. Even fans got gear: 3D glasses.
