Bitrates used: Contribution 31.356Mbs on 18Mhz using two MPEG4 422 streams muxed with one MPEG2 sync. Distribution 60.416Mbs on 36Mhz using side by side encoding into MPEG2 422 HD encoder. Suggested evolution : Contribution 41.808 Mbs on 24MHz using two MPEG4 422 streams muxed with one MPEG2 sync. Distribution 60.416Mbs on 36Mhz using side by side encoding into MPEG2 422 HD encoder.

3D Contribution Easy to do it wrong !

+ + Main issue : Keep both views Synchronous > Even a one frame mismatch is easily perceived in 3D ( wrong depth ) Different ways to transmit the 2 Views ( L&R) > Frame compatible ( Available Now) both views in the same frame (additional equipment needed sensio, doremi,axon) No need for Sync signal ! Uses existing single link infrastructure ( encoders mux etc ) Reduces the image resolution by half reduced quality headroom. > Simultaneous streams Full resolution on each eye ( best possible 3D quality ) Allows for post-processing ( add subtitles etc...) Higher bandwith needed Sync signal needed ( or muxing platform)

3D Contribution Easy to do it wrong !

+ Compression ? > MPEG 2 Legacy and bandwidth greedy
Increases noise in cascading while keeping details

> H.264/AVC state of the art bandwidth saving but ...

Reduces noise and also details and sharpness (filters) side effect on 3D

Careful with the bit-rate ! > Same rules in HD apply even more in 3D + Careful with the number of hops ! + Careful with standard conversion (50/60Hz)!
