Evertz Technologies Deliver 'Cavaliers 3D HD Experience' To Fans

Evertz Technologies Ltd has announced that its timing and JPEG-2000 transmission equipment was used to deliver the Cleveland Cavaliers and National Basketball Association’s 'Cavaliers 3D HD Experience', the first-ever live game in professional sports shown to the public using revolutionary HD technology provided by PACE, a leader in Digital 3D.
While Game 2 of the NBA Finals was being played in San Antonio, 14,000 Cavaliers fans at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland were able to experience the excitement of watching the game and make them feel as if they were sitting courtside.
"The NBA is always exploring new and innovative ways for fans to consume our game," said Steve Hellmuth, Senior Vice President of Operations and Technology for the NBA. "After the success of our 3D HD viewing parties during NBA All-Star, we were excited that the Cavaliers and owner Dan Gilbert wanted to provide their fans with this unique opportunity to view The Finals."
Evertz was selected by PACE to provide the sync generators, distribution amplifiers and new JPEG-2000 compression equipment necessary for pixel perfect timing used in 3D HD technology. Working in conjunction with Bexel Broadcast Services, a broadcast rental company, Evertz equipment successfully managed two streams of information and delivered a perfectly synced 3D viewing experience to Cavaliers fans.
"We have relied on the depth of resources from Evertz to deliver working solutions, often in a matter of days,” said Vince Pace, President and CEO of PACE. "Our demands are unique to the industry and Evertz products have proven to be a key component in the success of 3D HD."
"Not only does Evertz provide the right products, they offer unmatched support and service," said Johnny Pastor, Technical Operations Manager for Bexel Broadcast Services. "Evertz listens to their customers and their products and service reflect that commitment."
