At IBC this year, Stergen will be launching a new 2d-3d conversion software that will convert live 2D video into stereo 3D video real-time.
Stergen’s real-time conversion software includes Stergen Arena, which connects to a single, live 2D camera output to produce live stereo 3D video from sports arenas and mobile video units; and Stergen Studio, for use in broadcast studios or cable head-ends to convert live, 2D video programs to stereo 3D in real time.
I’m still pretty wary of all of these automatic 2D-to-3D conversion systems, seems they run the risk of squashing 3D in the home with damage similar to what Clash of the Titans did to 3D in theaters. Given the choice between poorly done 3D and regular 2D, will people really pick 3D?
