3D is an exciting new feature for the home theater market. It could be dramatic for some movies or soap operas, 3D seems out of place. However, for sports, action movies, 3D etc. makes much difference between the foreground color black and white. And consider the new 3D technology is the 3D system, used in cinemas.

The commercial successes of recent 3D films like "Beowulf" "Meet the Robinsons" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth", is to arouse the interest of movie studios to produce3D content more material. Disney, Universal, Philips, Samsung, Sony, Thomson and IMAX are exploring the potential 3D HDTV market. Disney said it would start all computer-animated films in 3D. According to DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, all major studios have run through 3-D projects. There are more than 2,500 cinema screens equipped with digital 3D technology in late 2009. All this content will be available for the home theater market. The BigQuestion: Is the market fairly ubiquitous 3D for large networks, particularly the sports side, the 3D program?

3D distribution

It is likely that satellite television companies like DirecTV and Dish Network, 3D versions of HDTV programming first distributed. 3D movies must have the bandwidth of the others take 120 fps (frames per second) high definition movies. The satellite broadcasting companies have sufficient bandwidth to support niche markets (not the cable companies tonot), and now in 3D HDTV is a niche market.

"Satellite is not limited as much as many channels as, how many can get," said Bob Scherman, Satellite Business News lead.

By 2010 that 60% of television sets in America, a satellite signal is used from 15% in 2002.

HDTV 3D Home Theater Systems

Due to the high frame rate for 3D, and the need for synchronization of LCD displaysgenerally incompatible with advanced 3D. However, Phillips has been in preproduction is $ 20,000, and this technology does not require glasses. The Phillips-optic technology is very complicated. In contrast to the electronics can not be assumed that the price will fall.

Manufactured by the end of this year (2008), more than one million 3D-ready DLP HDTV, Mitsubishi and Samsung have been sold in the U.S. The technology works by applying a signal of 60 Hz toeach eye (equivalent to a total of 120 Hz). These HDTVs can display standard and are compatible with the 3D material. Part of the source material is available for download from 3D and Blu-Ray are always available. "Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert" was the first 3D Blu-ray.

Glasses: Field Sequential 3D

Special glasses are used with the DLP-3D system. The system is) as "Field Sequential 3D" or HQFS (High Quality Field Sequential. ThisTechnology uses electronic shutter glasses lenses instead of red and blue, we have used in the movies. The effect is greater in any case. Our eyes see a slightly offset view of a scene. The two slightly different viewpoints are combined in the brain as a result of our ability to see in 3D. Field Sequential 3D simulates the experience of the shutter glasses. The shutter is not mechanical, but a filter for LCD screen, this vision, the other eye view sample blocks.

An HDTV with 120Hz refresh rate for 3D TV is recommended. The 3D system uses half of the total information for each eye. If we have a TV function, with a total of 60 Hz refresh rate, would be only 30 Hz for each eye problem, and the frame rate would be visible) (Flicker.

In developing a 3D system with earlier 3D technologies, we have to choose between two signals of equal bandwidth transmission of complete, the effective bandwidth of the signal or the signal is doubled, so is the horizontalor the vertical resolution of half, one half for each eye. Doubling the bandwidth would be a problem because the HDTV signal bandwidth capacity is already at a premium. With the same range that 3D material means that we can use the latest technology with HDMI or DVI interfaces.

Cut The alternative to dissolution is interesting because we worked so hard to improve our high definition, we are not willing to compromise. By using an alternative framework for each eye thatFlicker high definition signal no.

Two sets of wireless shutter glasses with a control transmitter (infrared (IR), the same technology as TV remote control) costs about $ 100.

"Hang-Ups" Sustaining DLP

Many consumers have a fascination with the idea of posting your new big screen HDTV on the wall like a painting. It is worth noting that ever larger plasma and LCD screens actually get to the wall. It is a great challenge forriding something that weighs 60-150 pounds on the wall, and once installed, is a constant challenge for maintenance (for example, a 50-inch Pioneer PDP-5070HD weighs 128 pounds).

According to the NPD Group, only 13 percent of current LCD TV owners and 25 per cent of the owners of plasma televisions have your device mounted on the wall.

DLP is popular with those who want larger displays high quality images at affordable prices. For the money, simply DLP offers the best quality in the size value.An LCD of the same size and price is not about the image quality of DLP. DLP is also available in larger sizes of LCD TVs below.

However, it is a DLP rear projection TV a few inches thicker than an LCD or plasma display. LCDs are generally 7-10 cm thick, DLP sets are typically 12-17 cm thick. Due to the fascination with the mounting kit on the wall, then this difference of a few centimeters, the deciding factor in purchasing decisions of many consumers.

TexasInstruments, DLP chips produced in a foundry in South Korea, sees potential for new technology that uses tiny mirrors on a semiconductor. The new LED light engine called Phlatlight "(manufactured by Luminus) replaces the arc lamp and wheel design of previous DLP HDTV color. Samsung has had its own proprietary LED lamp for a few years ago.'s Engine LED light rarely need to be replaced (unlike the cold cathode fluorescent lamps, which had to be replacedevery few years).

DLP HDTV with an LED engine are more energy efficient than comparatively large flat screens and the lack of a color wheel in motion to develop the means to perform with less noise. The DLP chip is faster than any other HDTV technology, with the mirrors switching on and off moving more than 15,000 times per second, an image without blurring the images as fast as the sports delivered.

DLP HDTV team will be a very wise choice for most people, butselective. Many of the HDTVs in the stores but not essential technologies such as LED backlighting.

Reconciliation will be considered for 3D-TV is seeking an entry into the rear of the unit, with "3D Ready".

Home Theater PC (HTPC)

A major trend in home theater is the integration of the personal computer (PC) with the home theater. Integrating a PC into the center of home entertainment has many advantages, besides3D video allows. Downloading movies is one of the advantages. The HTPC should be) a video card with DVI (Digital Video Interface. Both XP and Vista supports Microsoft products for home theater.

HDTV and 3D video is computationally intensive, which means a high-performance computers. For 720p video is a dual-core microprocessor is necessary, 1080p or 1080i video requires a quad-core microprocessor for smooth playback. Video files are very large (!), For the greater theDisk, the better.

DirectX 9 graphics drivers needed (software) are installed, if not already exist. In its current version, click Start and then click Run from the Windows desktop. Type "dxdiag" in the "Run".

The software is available from several manufacturers, "Stereo" (version 1.3.4) is available in 3DTV.at. Purchase stereo is about $ 50. While in the 3DTV.AT Download GPL MPEG-1 / 2 decoder. Alternatives to a stereo systemDynamic Digital Depth (ddd.com), "Stereoscopic Player" and "TriDef display.

Abstract

3D technology has become a major force in Hollywood. It is likely that the repetition of this trend in home theater. CRT and DLP work best with 3D technology, but also plasma systems are available. DLP offers the best value for large screens with high definition, not only in 3D HDTV.
