At Infocomm, Doremi put the spotlight on its line-up of products that perform in stereo — including an encoder that allows 2D equipment to work with 3D content, a 3D-aware disk recorder, a 3D playback server for large-screen venues, and an HD playback device geared to museums, theme parks, and .concert venues.
The V1 HD-2K is an outgrowth of Doremi’s video disk recorder lineup that’s been tweaked to record left-eye and right-eye 3D files simultaneously or separately. It supports all standard HD and SD resolutions and frame rates, and can import files using the company’s DoremiAM software.
A device like the HD-2K won’t do you much good if you have a display that’s not 3D-aware — unless you use the new GHX-3D encoder/decoder as a bridge device. Feed separate left and right eye streams into it, and it will encode them as a single 2D stream that can be recorded on a standard tape deck or server. Send that encoded stream back into the unit and it will generate a 3D stream, either by using two SDI links to separately transmit left eye and right eye, or in a single SDI, HDMI or DVI stream using side-by-side, checkerboard, or another standard 3D format. It’s designed mainly for post houses that are looking to start the stereo transition without upgrading all of their existing playback devices.
The DSV-J2 is a JPEG 2000 and MPEG MXF 3D playback server. It can play left-eye and right-eye streams separately, and supports HD resolutions and frame rates as well as 2K and 4K. It’s intended for large-screen venues such as concerts, theme parks, presentation and fixed installations.
Finally, the Nugget Pro HD Video Player fits into the stereo picture because it can do duty as a 3D playback device when used in conjunction with the GHX-3D.
