International Datacasting Corporation's 3D Live Digital Cinema Technology Showcased

A global leader in providing advanced solution for the distribution of broadband multimedia content via satellite, International Datacasting Corporation, has announced the successful demonstrations of their SuperFlex Pro Cinema 3D Live Encoder and Decoder product lines, powered with Sensio(R) 3D technology, at the Sat Expo Europe 2009 international conference and exhibition held in Rome from March 19 - 21.
The demonstrations included a simultaneous 3D broadcast of a live jazz performance over the satellite in a digital cinema configuration as well as broadcast and display on a commercially available consumer 3D television, demonstrating the technology for the direct-to-home market.
Edward DiCarlo, IDC's VP Sales and Marketing, said: "The live demonstration were well received by many observers, amazed at the full colour HD quality of the 3D displays as well as the fact that these off-the-shelf products are easy to use and available today. The Sensio(R) 3D technology that we use in our Pro Cinema products is rock solid compared to other techniques. It ensures that the left and right HD signals are locked and fully synchronised to avoid eye strain while only using half the bandwidth as compared to others. This product line is a great addition to our digital cinema solutions portfolio - helping us add new revenues for digital cinema operators in this emerging market."
The SuperFlex Pro Cinema Live Decoder and Encoder, with Sensio(R) 3D technology inside, supports both 2D and 3D live and pre-recorded events which provides movie houses and other venues increased new business opportunities via alternative content programming. The products allow play out of live broadcast and pre-recorded stereoscopic (3D) content, up to 1080p 60fps, using industry standard 2D video distribution infrastructure and is compatible with all types of digital projection systems available on the market.
SENSIO remains the only corporation in the world to have successfully integrated its live 3D content broadcasting technology throughout a network of movie theatres.
