Japan and the UK won't be able to hold their 3D broadcasts over us by the end of '09, now that AMG TV is being bought by Signet Intl. Holdings, which plans to turn it into the first 3D broadcast network. Forget waiting for a standard, Signet plans to go with a solution from Kerner Broadcast Corp. -- a spinoff of Industrial Light & Magic and wholly owned subsidiary of Signet -- that promises a $50 add-on to bring 3D to any HDTV. Described by its own CEO as a 5, on a 1 - 10 scale of 3D quality it doesn't immediately inspire confidence, but we're willing to give this a try before knocking it. Most of the programming will be 2D converted to 3D, expect to hear a lot more before broadcasts flip on around Late November.
Cool
Not cool.
The "3D" episode of 'Chuck' looked like shit. I do not want 3D in my house.
When 3D is done right in a theater, it can be quite entertaining. But when people try and half-ass it (Chuck, NBC, I'm looking at you) it looks like crap. I would rather see a stunning 2D image than a crappy 3D one. I feel that 3D will get old very fast if it is not up to par. I think that 3D still needs more time before it goes mainstream.
This is a good step towards more focus on 3D movies/shows..the tech is going to get better and better..i see a brightt future for 3d video
With my bad eyes (my wondering eye). I can't do 3D I only see out of 1 eye at a time my good eye is my left. When I try 3D it dont work at all for me because of my wondering eye in my right eye. I dont want 3D because it will look bad for me. I wont beable to see it.
Actually, only Kerner Optical was the spin off from Industrial Light & Magic, Kerner broadcast was never part of ILM it came with Signet.
