Some 3DTV Reading

Some 3DTV Reading

Although aimed at a UK audience, you engineers might want to read two articles that I ran across. The first is a report done by ZetaCast for UK regulator, Ofcom, to provide an independent report evaluating the likely bandwidth requirements for future TV services.

The second is an article from TeamCast in the European Edition of the September 2010 edition of SatMagazine. The objective of this article is to provide some key elements that explain how 3DTV can be conveyed over an 8MHz DVB-T2 (QAM) channel, however there are some interesting calculations about the increase of bit-rates for various 3D encoding schemes.
