BBC To Air Olympic Ceremonies In 3D
The BBC has revealed that some of its live coverage of the upcoming Olympic games will be broadcast in 3D.
According to reports it will be the opening and closing ceremonies, the men’s 100m final and the end of day highlights that will be aired in 3D.
The free-to-air broadcast will be made available through the BBC HD channel, and can be viewed by those with 3DTV and HD access no matter which digital television platform (Freeview, Freesat, Sky, Virgin Media, etc.) they are using.
In a blog Roger Mosey, the BBC's director of London 2012 wrote: “We've chosen these events partly because they mark the pinnacles of the Games but also to minimise the loss of HD that is a consequence of our 3D service.
"The pattern will be that our main standard-definition transmission will be on BBC One, the HD simulcast will be on BBC One HD and then the 3D version will be on the BBC HD Channel - as we did with Wimbledon."
