In depth rolling costs

摘要

Watching 3D television isn't just a matter of transmission; the equipment needed to film in 3D is also developing.rnThe Fraunhofer Institutes in Germany have been busily working on these problems, which largely centre around reducing the cost and complexity of 3D production. Working on Avatar, for example, director James Cameron took so much time that the film almost became an urban myth; it cost much more than $250m (￡166m) and took four years in post-production alone. Such resources, both of time and money, aren't available for TV broadcasting, especially with 3D's heavy initial reliance on the sports market, where live broadcasting is so important.
