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 begin the production of stereoscopy programs and the start of 3D broadcast tests. The theatrical show “Llits” will be the first production that the Catalan region will record in 3D.

In 2010, TV3 will begin broadcasting in 3D 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 beds, which will premiere in mid-December at the Teatro Nacional de Catalunya.

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 two-color anaglyphic glasses, and it will not be necessary to change televisions.

With this initiative, TV3 becomes the first television 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 US, the American football Super Bowl final was broadcast in 3D, after the distribution of 125 million glasses.
