digital signage manufacturer Minicom and Zero Creative have announce a partnership to distribute 3D video over networks. In the past months test have taken place to combine Minicoms’ DS Vision HDMI product with Zero Creative’s autostereoscopic 3D displays.
The distribution of multiview 3D signals over long distances between player and display can be difficult. Only the slightest loss of video information may cause the 3D effect to be eliminated. Especially in rollouts of 3DZignage, Zero Creative’s 3D digital signage product, long distances can need to be bridged. By using the DS Vision HDMI extender, the 3D signal can be distributed up to 200 meters using standard Cat5 cable.
The technology is demonstrated during the IBC 2009 exhibition. In the demo setup the 3DZignage platform runs on a 46in xyZ 3D display, connected by Cat5 cable using the DS Vision HDMI, viewing 3D effects, which can be seen without any 3D glasses.
