system for VIDEO
Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2009 3:02 pm
Hi y'all - I m a 3D film producer, having worked on VFX on many you've seen and producing/directing on a few you probably haven't...
I need a system for production. Ideally this system will do 2 things:
#1 it plays back 3D encoded media - this has to be circular polarized ----- anaglyph, shutter glasses etc etc are not acceptable.
We can and will be encoding the media when the proper tools / file formats etc become apparent - this will be part of our post-production process. Long story short is that this will be a system for editorial and effects work which will give us 3D viewing. We would assume that this will be render (compress / encode) then view but would like this this to EVENTUALLY become a realitime solution as in my viewer in Final Cut or Shake will be in S3D. I know that a few options out there right now seem like they could do the former, most promising appears to be the iZ3D - they publish some code and offer a video viewer app.
#2 in an IDEAL world this system will EVENTUALLY allow us to view the output of 2 cameras in realtime - thus 2 digital inputs i.e. HDMI/DVI in addition to the 2 outputs for the monitor. In this case the encoding would have to be realtime.
Could anyone who is using their 3D system for video viewing and/or encoding share their advice and ideas etc. I need to get a system which will do what is possible today, and I need to look forward to the future as to what changes are happening that will allow me to get the additional capabilities I need.
