MLXXX Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 I note this part of the press release: "This is the first time anywhere in the world that live 3D television will be tested on a land-based network, and the participation of all four terrestrial television networks will contribute to accelerating the road toward commercialization," said Oh Nam-seok, an official from KCC's radio policy bureau. He added, "The next step is to develop technologies and standardization efforts to provide live, high-definition (HD) 3D television over terrestrial networks." I expect a simple method of 3D transmission (e.g. the side by side squashed method) will be used for these test broadcasts. No doubt we will get to know technical details later this month!
Guest bramt1503560357 Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I wouldn't say 'beaten too the punch' too quickly: Sports fans will be the first to savour television in 3D.The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) today granted Nine and SBS temporary licences to conduct "scientific trials of 3D TV". ACMA has not clarified the purpose of the trials, but the start and finish date of the licences - May 19 and July 19 - do offer a clue for those who keep a sports calendar handy. Those dates cover Nine's broadcast of the rugby league State of Origin and SBS's broadcast of the soccer World Cup. The broadcasts allow the channels to broadcast "3D high definition television to viewers with access to 3D-enabled digital television receivers". The licences cover Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Newcastle and Wollongong. "ACMA supports the development and demonstration of new broadcasting technologies and is pleased to be able to assist with the trialling of 3D TV," ACMA's chairman Chris Chapman said. Chapman said the authority also understood retailers would use the trials to showcase the first generation of 3D television receivers to consumers. "It is important people are aware that these trials have only been approved for this two-month period," he said. From http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/tv-...00514-v3ua.html The Korea Times article says they will start May 19 as well. So Both countries will begin on the same day If they both start at midnight, then Korea will beat us by an hour!
annabie Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Just wondering where my country is in the list of broadcasting Terrestial 3D LOL
Theres Always Radio Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 21 July 2010 ACMA MR92/2010: 3D TV – end of first trial 3D TV – end of first trial With the current tranche of 3D television trials having ended yesterday, the Australian Communications and Media Authority felt that it would be useful to remind consumers that the ACMA can only make a digital television channel available for free-to-air 3D TV trials on a limited basis. In May, the Nine Network, SBS and WIN sought ACMA authorisation for temporary trials of 3D TV in Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. The ACMA authorised trials for only a limited, two-month period, from 19 May to 19 July. This allowed the authorisation of transmission in 3D of the State of Origin series and the 2010 FIFA World Cup. When announcing the licensing arrangements in May, the ACMA indicated its support of broadcasters in the development and demonstration of new broadcasting technologies, but also noted that the trials would be using unutilised digital television channels that were only available on a temporary basis. Broadcasters were required to provide the ACMA with reports on the outcomes of those trials and the ACMA expects to publish the reports in the near future. The ACMA is now considering applications for a further tranche of short-term free-to-air trials and more generally expects to release a paper in the next few months on the future of 3D trials. This paper will address the likely demand for spectrum to further experiment with and test 3D technology. The paper will also address international developments in the standardisation of consumer equipment, as technical standards for 3D TV receivers have not yet been established.
