Super Hi-Vision Trials Day Two: Tae Kwon Do and Full 3D
Post categories: Production,Ìýevents,Ìýmedia,Ìývideo
| 12:40 UK time, Wednesday, 20 October 2010
In this film covering the second day of the Super Hi-Vison trails we conducted with NHK last month we see the Scotland National Tae Kwon Do Team performing in front of both the ultra high resolution Japanese experimental camera system, and our own immersive 3D capture rig.Ìý We take time to catch up with Oliver Grau who explains the principles behind the technology, and also take a look at how more traditional stereoscopic 3D is being perfected in R&D's studio.

In the next post about the trial we will look in detail at the audio work required to support the international IP based transmission of the Charlatan's in 5.1 surround.

Is there any reason why it would not be possible to persuade ´óÏó´«Ã½ legal and IP department to allow R&D to share research videos internationally?
The text is shared after all - and it *is* a Blog on the Internet.
Yes, I appreciate, it's work done with British taxpayer funds, paid by the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Trust, but is there not value in sharing internationally (and inviting international discussion)?
Is there no way around the license fee for dissemination of research over the Internet?
Is this really the future of the Internet?
I know there's at least one Australian ex-pat who would love to see it that way, unfortunately.

We expect to load these videos of the TC0 work into that platform in a few weeks.
This issue is as you have already identified one of costs- only in specific circumstances can we justify the costs of making video available online, but we do try to do it as often as we can, and requests like this do help to make our case, so thank you.

This is very interesting but Danielle Nagler keeps saying that the ´óÏó´«Ã½ has no plans to deliver 3D to licence payers. What is the point of doing this research if the ´óÏó´«Ã½ has no intention of using it. It seems to me the only people to benifit will be foriegn viewers. Surely the best way to get 3D experience is just to start a 3D channel like Sky has done.
Dispite the ´óÏó´«Ã½ research Sky is technically way ahead of the ´óÏó´«Ã½. They transmit full 1920x1080 HD at reasonable bitrates and more often than not with 5.1 sound. The ´óÏó´«Ã½'s so called HD output has very little surround sound. Sky also uses DVB-S2 which is spectrally more efficient. Of course Sky's 3D service is leaving the ´óÏó´«Ã½ in the dark ages. The ´óÏó´«Ã½ is all talk but is delivering very little.

Thanks for pointing out the glitch on the video- we think it's corrected now.
