boiler Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 That's pretty awesome. I think Katzenberg is wrong about it possibly reducing piracy. If it's digital code, somebody will figure out how to pirate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 What cant sport provide?This year, ESPN will launch the first 3D television network. ESPN 3D will showcase a minimum of 85 live sporting events during its first year, beginning with the first 2010 FIFA World Cup match on June 11 between South Africa and Mexico. More on what you can expect to see in 3D after the jump. In addition to the World Cup opener, ESPN will produce up to 25 total World Cup matches, as well as the Summer X Games, college basketball, and college football, including the BCS National Championship game in Glendale, Ariz., January 10, 2011. ESPN has been testing ESPN 3D for more than two years, and produced USC's 18-15 win over Ohio State in 3D for select theaters back in September. This network launch will certainly drive the early adoption of 3D TV sets, while combining "great content with new technology to enhance the fan's viewing experience," according to ESPN President, George Bodenheimer.

ollie Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 That's pretty awesome. I think Katzenberg is wrong about it possibly reducing piracy. If it's digital code, somebody will figure out how to pirate it.I think he meant in terms of the massive file size of a 3D movie making it prohibitive to transfer over peer to peer networks. That's assuming bandwidth availability doesn't keep up at the same pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAlphaNerd Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Doesn't mean that people will not be able to find a way to further compress it without much quality loss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Doesn't mean that people will not be able to find a way to further compress it without much quality loss...Sure. But I don't imagine you'd get any sort of 3D effect this way, which is the selling point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had previously heard that live broadcasts in 3D would not be possible. I do have one question though, are 3D glasses still required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I heard glasses are still required for home veiwing. From http://www.pcauthority.com.au/News/164200,3d-tv-buzz-at-ces-2010-just-another-gimmick-or-should-you-hang-onto-those-avatar-glasses.aspx Yes, you'll need to wear the glasses We're yet to see any major brand at CES pushing a 3D TV that doesn't require them. In most cases these aren't the basic Ray Ban style you might have worn to watch Avatar. In many cases they'll actually require power. For example, Sony's 3D TVs use a "frame sequential" display method, which involves active-shutter glasses that turn on and off in sync with the images. Some TVS come with the glasses and have the transmitter built in, but again, in some cases you'll need to buy the transmitter and glasses separately.

ike Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 So you'd likely have to go spend thousands on the new 3D tv and then hundreds more on multiple pairs of glasses so all you friends can watch with you. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I bet you could turn OFF the 3-d functions.Still...I think I'll wait for holograms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 As cool as this sounds, I don't watch enough television to justify spending money on stuff like that. I'm quite happy with my 21" SDTV.As for piracy, I agree with boiler rat I doubt file size will make much difference, especially when you consider that folks are downloading HDtv shows exceeding 16GB. Hell, in one of the torrent groups I belong to someone passed along a video torrent file to a 2008 NIN show in Portland recorded in HDV2 (I believe it's called) that totals over 167GB. If folks are willing to download files like that I don't imagine it'll stop anyone downloading the 3D-HDTV shows, if they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 it won't be something that takes off right away, if it does at all. it's just a look into the possible track that could be followed by tv technology. If it does hold up, you may know someone with one in 3-5 years. That's my bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
