Quantel Stereo3D Broadcast Server

Quantel will be showing during IBC a technology preview of the sQ Server working with Stereo3D content. The aim is to demonstrate the inherent capability of the sQ platform and stimulate discussion with customers who are excited about Stereo3D broadcasting. The sQ server will be recording and playing back two streams of HD in perfect frame lock using the existing sQ Record and sQ Play control applications. Live HD Stereo3D content will be recorded from the 3ality Digital camera rig on the stand. The server uses the high quality AVC-I 100 compression format to ensure the best possible stereo experience. The recorded 3D clip will be treated operationally as a single entry and will be available in the library and to sQ Play for playout. Several playout modes are supported including dual channel, single channel side by side for Hyundai Xpol 3D displays and single channel picture-in-picture for confidence review on conventional HD displays.
