Press release: (Gothenburg/Melbourne/Las Vegas)
Prior to the NAB Show 2014 in Las Vegas the 3D technology company and the 3D/4k content distributor announce a strategic partnership. 3D Content Hub’s extensive 3D library will be made available using ColorCode 3-D format enabling easy accessible mass distribution of 3D content to anyone, anywhere using standard (2D) displays.
“This cooperation opens up new possibilities for traditional broadcasters, VOD platforms, and providers of educational content to start offering high quality 3D content to all their 2D viewers”, says Torsten Hoffmann, 3D Content Hub’s CEO, adding “and it works across all platforms such as tablet/iPad, web, IPTV, digital broadcast, or BluRay/DVD”.
Lately 3D has been categorized as failed technology even though the results at the box office are up and 3D televisions continue to bedeployed globally. As the access to 3D-enabled devices still remains quite low around the world, the ultimate goal with this partnership is to give a chance for anyone to start enjoying the 3D experience and take advantage of the benefits of 3D today, thereby increasing the possibilities for 3D content producers to make money out of their production and to justify the investments for more stereoscopic 3D content in the future.
“We are proud to work with one of the largest and most prestigious 3Dcontent suppliers”, Andreas Krona, CEO of ColorCode 3-D, says and explainsthat their focus is to help more people get a chance touse the benefits of 3D. “Using our technology, broadcasters andcontent distributors are getting a chance to start using 3D where it makes sense and when the content actually addsvalue.Areas such as school and education as well as home entertainment do still have very limited access to 3D displays and ColorCode 3-D can help bring 3D content to new markets that have not had this option before.
One of the companies’ first joint project is to provide content and viewing technology for US 3-D VoD provider 3D Crave who will launch their services during the first half of 2014. 3D Crave has spent the majority of 2013 researching and testing ways to properly and easily bring a variety of interesting 3D content to homes and mobile devices around the world.
