TV3 will broadcast in 3D next year

Televisió de Catalunya has signed collaboration agreements with companies such as Apuntolapospo, Ovide and Kronomav in order to start the production of stereoscopic programs and the start of 3D broadcast tests. The theatrical show "Llits" will be the first production that the Catalan regional will record in 3D.

TV3 will begin 3D broadcasts in 2010 with productions in stereoscopic format. This commitment to the future has prompted Televisió de Catalunya to sign collaboration agreements for the production of stereoscopic productions, such as the play Llits, which will premiere in mid-December at the National Theatre of Catalonia.

The agreements that TVC has signed with companies such as Apuntolapospo, Ovide BS and Kronomav, among others, provide for collaborations in other projects, in research and development (R+D) and in productions. To watch these broadcasts, viewers will need the help of anaglyphic system glasses, in two colors, and it will not be necessary to change televisions.

With this initiative, TV3 becomes the first television station in Spain to announce regular experiences in stereographic production. 3D television is beginning to be implemented in some British channels, such as Channel Four, which recently organized a week of demonstrations giving viewers 30 million glasses through supermarkets. Also, this year, in the U.S., the Super Bowl football final was broadcast in 3D, after the distribution of 125 million glasses.
