HDTV/3D TV News
It had to happen sooner or later; the managing director of Freeview, Ilse Howling has confirmed that Freeview will be looking into the possibility of a Freeview 3D HDTV service in the future, giving households in the switchover zones something else to think about.
3D technology is moving fast and with BSkyB introducing it to the UK market, firstly to pubs in the spring and then to UK householders towards the end of the year, Freeview would be foolish to ignore this technology.
There is one outstanding issue when it comes to 3D HDTV, according to a report ordered by the regulator Ofcom it has been found that the 3D signal uses up to 1.8 more times bandwidth than a standard transmission, which may have an effect on whether 3D HDTV is shown on Freeview.
Freeview can be transmitted in 3D in its mpeg2.ts format in interlace tv and by using third party 3Dtv system and stereoscopic player software.first the tv programme or movie film is in interlace already as default.second by using stereoscopic software on computer when tv is connected to a computer or when a tv is connected from a 3DTV shutter system,which you can buy for £50 on ebay,this device and the stereoscopic player computer software de-interlaces the 3D standard transmitted mpeg/mpeg2 video into two seperate video displays for each eye and wearing 50htz shutter glasses on your ordinary tv or wearing coloured paper glasses,like yellow/blue colorcode 3d glasses,you will be able to watch the transmitted video in both full colour 3D and cooured glasses 3D for all tv sets (coloured glasses 3D for HDTV plasma/lcd/led tvs and full colour mpeg2 field-sequential 3D for ordinary CRT tube based tvs,DLP rear projection tvs and the new 3D ready tv sets aswell.Anythings possible.
