3D video adds stereoscopic vision, meaning that two separate images are shown simultaneously—one to each eye. This presents enormous technical problems which is why we have the prefect solution to make the transition easy.

Common display methods include:

- Anaglyphic processing (red/cyan glasses): The original 3D system, now largely out of favor.
- Polarized light system (polarized filter glasses): The most common new system for cinemas.
- Active shutter system (LCD shutter glasses): The most likely standard for the first generation of 3D televisions and other displays.

Filming in 3D

Filming in 3D is not as easy as strapping two camera's together. You need to have things in place to make sure that the 3D is perfect when it comes to editing. Yes, you will need two camera's, like two EX3's for example. But syncing & locking the video and timecode together can be a pain. Nano3D changes all that, by allowing you to record from two camera's to compact flash cards, with the exact timecode from each camera, but also gives you the ability to playback in 3D to a 3D-TV. This is a great option, because you can view the shot in 3D to check that the take is correct and that the 3D works, rather than finding a problem back at the edit suite. Also, you can record to the Nano3D units in i-frame based video, thus giving you the best compression for side-by side playback.


Editing in 3D

Final Cut Studio does not have the ability to edit natively in 3D. But with some additional powerful tools, you can ingest and editing in 3D. Using Cineform Neo3D along with 3D Stereo Toolbox you can easily ingest, by assigning left and right eye video and adjust 3D settings directly in the timeline, like 3D Convergence. This is a nessasary part of post editing in creating a comfortable 3D viewing experience, by focusing the eyes attention to a particular part of the 3D image.


Monitoring in 3D

Monitoring in 3D is still relatively new and may not be perfect. However, we can clever tools and hardware we can make the process painless. High-end 3D monitor is available thanks to JVC. They offer a polarized monitor in true 1920 x 1080, making the experience just like being at the cinema. Using standard inexpensive polarised glasses the user gets the best possible experience and is perfect for playing back 3D. Using HDMI you can output from your edit suite to a polarised or shutter based monitor as a side-by-side or line-by-line view. As with the JVC or other monitors which use shutter glasses, the 3D decoder translates images in a 3D view.


3D Workflow

- Nano3D - Perfect for recording from two camera's and allowing you to playback a 3D image from two sources.
- Blackmagic HD Extreme 3D - Using HDMI you can output to a 3D TV for monitoring and playback
- HDLink Pro 3D Displayport - Any monitor which uses the new HDMI 1.4 format and supports frame-packing can use this device to convert a dual HD-SDI signal, into full frame side-side 3D image.
- JVC GD463D10 - Is a full HD 3D LCD monitor for professional users. Using circular polarizing filter glasses for the best viewing experience.
