Globecast has provided an end-to-end full HD 3D solution as M6 screened the final of its Nouvelle Star talent content.
Two hundred VIPs were invited by the broadcaster to a Paris cinema to view the transmission, which was also carried on Orange TV’s experimental 3D channel in France.
This contribution solution, developed in partnership with ATEME, uses H264 4:2:2 10-bit compression and allows for delivery of full 3D stereoscopic images via satellite or fiber while preserving optimal image quality. The dual streaming technology allows for each image (left and right) to retain its full resolution (1920×1080), in contrast to the side-by-side solutions that effectively divide the bandwidth given to an HD broadcast into two.
