Hamlet Takes A Stand On 3D
As well as its range of high-precision hardware and software test and measurement equipment, Hamlet is using part of its display at NAB 2010 to show the latest in next generation 3D monitoring tools to meet specific industry requirements.
Stereoscopic 3D production is a hot topic, with trial broadcasts already underway in many parts of the world.
One of the critical issues in maintaining a convincing visual impression is to ensure that the two cameras, and subsequent channels, are perfectly matched in all parameters. With the added complexity of paired cameras to be matched, 3D can hugely increase set-up times, so Hamlet is focussing on providing solutions to speed set-up and therefore reduce production costs, as well as provide absolute quality control at the point of acquisition.
To meet this challenge Hamlet has developed a new version of its popular VidScope software suite. The new product, VidScope-3D, compares both “eyes” of a 3D production to ensure accurate matching between the channels. It includes photo-sensitive epilepsy tests to the ITU standard.
"We showed our first thoughts on 3D quality control at IBC last September, and the reaction was so positive that we received a prestigious Star Award, a very rare achievement for a technology demonstration,” said Steve Nunney, Director of Hamlet. "It is clear that stereoscopic 3D – and in particular bringing 3D to the home – will be a major challenge for broadcasters and production companies, and we are proud to be making an important contribution in maintaining excellent quality control."
The Hamlet range of test and measurement devices and quality control software systems can be seen now at NAB Las Vegas on booth SU7507.
