Tektronix thinks about 3D with new testing tools

Thinking about the development of the emerging stereoscopy market, Tektronix has launched new solutions that help determine the differences and calibration between both 3D images.

One of the key elements in monitoring stereoscopic signals is to ensure that the two cameras are perfectly calibrated and combined to create good quality 3D effects without causing viewer fatigue. Thinking about it, Tektronix just released new tools for 3D production, helping to determine the differences between stereoscopic images.

The 3D Difference Map Display, for example, can be used to detect the disparity between the right and left eye during 3D production or post-production camera alignment setup.

For its part, Anaglyph Display allows you to identify the parallax (3D depth) of various objects within the stereoscopic image, while the Checkerboard Display device helps the user to identify possible differences in luminance and focus levels, in addition to other different color characteristics between images.

To monitor the depth of multiple 3D image objects, Disparity Grid can be overlaid on multiple image samples or used to precisely measure the differences between two perspectives.

The new Tektronix WFM8300 and WVR8300 devices already incorporate these 3D video monitoring resources. If you have the WFM8200 and WVR8200 models, the same results can be obtained by obtaining the pack called Option 3D. Both the WFM-8300 and WVR-8300 models, as well as the WFM-8200 and WVR-8300, can be updated with the new resources completely free of charge from the Tektronix site.
