New Sky and Virgin HD box technology brings 3D programming into your home
Tags:
In the late 1950s 3D movies were all the rage. For many of us able to remember those films the reemergence of the technology came as quite a surprise. The original 3D cinema format was a mere novelty better suited to monster movies than actual entertainment. Today almost every animated film comes out in both a conventional and three dimensional format. Indeed a great deal of the success of Avatar must be attributed to ticket sales to watch the film in 3D. Almost all the Pixar films are available as such. It was only logical that these immensely popular films would find their way to our home screen in the 3D format.
Sky TV was the first to offer 3D capability built into their Sky HD box. Earlier this year, Virgin Media in an effort to keep up with the great prices and service as part of Sky TV packages announced they would be making 3D viewing available as well. The primary component needed to make this possible was the Virgin HD box which passed final testing and is now available as part of Virgin Media’s HD packaging. Bear in mind that digital photography has done wonders for 3D movie quality.
The Biangular approach of 3D was far too dark in the original format. Coordination of twin projections without the use of computer assistance left old time projectionists perplexed. Now consider that for 3D TV use all that is required is a signal that incorporates the two images and sets the pitch of the LCD pixels. More simply, 3D is easy on TV and both the Sky and Virgin HD box can bring it into your home.
