JVC Demonstrates 3D Technologies At 2010 Worldwide CES

JVC is demonstrating an array of 3-D television technologies at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which opens here today. Technologies on display include a 3-D LCD monitor already on the market, an ultra high resolution high definition 3-D demonstration and a processor for the professional market that converts 2-D content to 3-D.

Here’s an overview of JVC’s 3-D technologies on display at International CES:

4K2K 3-D Demonstration

In the JVC Theater in the company’s CES booth (#8219) is a demonstration of 3-D content in full 4K2K (4096 x 2400 pixels) resolution – four times the resolution of Full HD – using a pair of JVC DLA-RS4000 4K projectors.
3-D LCD Monitor

The JVC GD-463D10 is a 46-inch LCD monitor that features Xpol technology for flicker-free stereoscopic images with inexpensive (passive) glasses. JVC has several of these monitors in its booth showing a variety of content, including a display that features the FujiFilm W1 Finepix 3-D camera. The GD-463D10 is currently shipping.
3-D Image Processor

CES marks the introduction of the JVC IF-2D3D1 stereoscopic processor that converts 2-D video to 3-D in real time. The processor accepts a standard HDMI or HDSDI input in HD, and provides stereo output in a variety of formats: sequential, side-by-side, line-by-line, checkerboard, anaglyph or separate L/R signals. It is being shown with a variety of 2-D input content, with the output displayed in 3-D on the JVC GD-463D10 LCD monitor. In addition to providing real time 2-D to 3-D conversion, the unit can also accept discrete L/R signals from a stereoscopic camera rig, and convert the signals to a standard that can be displayed on the GD-463D10 monitor–useful for 3-D production crews.
