Exqi Culture Launches 3D Programme

The Belgian production company Alfacam will launch its first 3D television programme in February on its Exqi Culture channel. The music show Studio 3 will be recorded and broadcast in 3D, according to the company.

Alfacam also said it has bought the first mobile 3D equipment, a ‘world first’. In order to promote the system, Alfacam will work together with a number of manufacturers of 3D receivers. The company was also the first in Europe to start broadcasting in HD on satellite to increase awareness of HDTV as early as 2000. It is also the first European production company to record a live concert in 3D. Back in 2007, the producer taped a Jean-Michel Jarre concert in 3D.
