Last year the National Basketball Assoc “transmitted” the first-ever live sports event in 3D HD during its All Stars weekend from the Mandalay Bay hotel.

These BBC transmissions saw Sony 950 HD cameras with carefully matched lenses mounted on a special rig providing stereoscopic images that were beamed via a Telenor satellite to a VIP audience at London’s Riverside Studios (where the BBC’s first-ever colour broadcasts took place in 1967). The coverage was jointly organised by BBC Resources and The3DFirm.

The broadcast feed comprised two dedicated feeds (representing the left and right eyes) from each pair of linked cameras. The downlinked feeds from the satellite were then decoded back to 2 x HD-SDI outputs onto a Harkness silver cinema screen using a pair of Christie HD8K projectors, and viewed using conventional 3D glasses.
