Grass Valley Delivers Simplified 3D Control

1080p and stereoscopic 3D productions
This allows the two cameras to be matched together, and then both cameras can be operated from a single control panel, behaving like a single camera with two outputs. For productions such as outdoor sporting events where the light level changes throughout the game, the ability to change iris and color temperature without creating a disparity between the two cameras in a stereo pair greatly simplifies the task of the video engineer.
“At Grass Valley our goal has always been to listen to our customers and deliver the products they need, at the time they need them,” said Jeff Rosica, Senior Vice President of Grass Valley. “1080p and stereoscopic 3D productions are where the minds of many of our customers are focused right now, and we have tools, deliverable today, which makes their lives easier, without massive re-equipping costs.”
Industry experts believe that 3D-capable viewing technologies will be included with every consumer HDTV sold within three years.
