It must be said that 3D in the home will not be to everyone's tastes and it will not suit all content but where it works it works very well. Channels are now pushing to launch 3D services and multiple test transmissions have taken place. The most obvious deployment advantage that stereoscopic has is that throughout the playout chain the technology upgrades are minimal. This is because in essence it means two signals being carried through the same HD chain rather than a single 2D feed, though this does have compression ramifications - more of which a little later.
