NAB: PANASONIC TO OFFER NEW 3D DISPLAY
The monitor displays 3D content using an Xpol polarizing filter, so content can be viewed with passive 3D glasses. It can be switched between left and right image display, overlay, left and right two window display, and 3D.
The BT-3DL2550 offers six color settings: SMPTE, EBU, ITU-R BT.709, Adobe 2.2, Adobe 1.8 and D-Cinema, and a three-dimensional look-up table for calibration. It supports 1080i, 1080p and 720p playback, and offers pixel-to-pixel function in 720p mode.
Two HD/SD-SDI inputs allow for simultaneous display of left image, right image and 3D signals. 3D signals can also be supported line-by-line or side-by-side using the monitor’s DVI-D input. Additional professional level inputs include two HD/SD-SDI inputs, component and RGB, and standard RS-232C (9-pin) and GPI (9-pin) remote inputs. Timecode, closed captioning and up to eight audio levels can also be displayed.
The HD-SDI inputs allow the monitor to be connected directly to 3D cameras or high-end nonlinear editors.
Priced at $9,900, the BT-3DL2550 will come with two pair of polarizing 3D glasses, a desk stand and an AC adapter when it ships in December.
