Canal+ Spain Goes for 3-D

Canal+ Spain will inaugurate its first 3-D transmissions this year, hoping to become the country's first TV channel in offering this new technology. 3-D content will be accessible through the iPlus box, the advanced terminal of Sogecable's pay-TV operator Digital+ which also allows HDTV reception.

Starting in the first half of this year Canal+ Spain will begin offering some of its premium content in 3-D. Sports and culture will be the first type of content offered in 3-D by the pay-TV channel.

According to Miguel Salvat, Canal+'s general director: "The 3-D technology is right now an excellent vehicle to reach the homes of our subscribers with the highest-quality content together with the best technical functionalities."

Canal+ Spain's provision of 3-D content will continue to grow as this new technology gets implemented in the market.
