BTW - From what I can see it looks like HDMI 1.4a works for most of the stakeholders. -----Original Message----- From: opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tom McMahon Sent: Sunday, June 20, 2010 8:59 AM To: opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [opendtv] Re: 3D TV From CEA's SmartBrief: --- "Avatar" director says 3-D will overtake 2-D in about 25 years James Cameron, the director of "Avatar," said the three-dimensional format will one day replace 2-D as the standard for all entertainment content. Speaking at a technology conference in Seoul, South Korea, Cameron said 3-D is not a fad and will, within 25 years, be the format of choice for all content viewed in theaters, on TV and online. [From The Washington Post/The Associated Press (5/13)] --- I am not saying I agree with him, but it is interesting he said that. There are certainly many hurdles to overcome, including standardizing on the format(s) for delivery to the home, standardizing on the interconnect from the PC/Set-Top/Player to the 3DTV set (both the cable and the media format(s) the cable is carrying), standardizing on what the 3DTV exactly does with the content, and standardization of the glasses so your buddies can all bring their glasses over for the Super Bowl. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Barry Albert Manfredi wrote: > > My suspicion is that 3D will not turn out as wide screen HD did, i.e. that it will not become the standard. > > Bert > It may take another 20 years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
