Ultra-D: look 3D-TV without glasses - Journal Mediasat

Perhaps many viewers think that 3D-TV has died a horrible death, and this could be acceptable. But … We have recently learned about the technology Ultra-D. This new development allows you to watch 3DTV without glasses. The system is also able to play virtually any content from old television programs in the 480i / p video to Blu-ray.

Ultra-D, 3D TV from SeeCubic, which does not require glasses – 3D TV is the best of those we’ve ever seen. Unlike competitors’ products, the picture on this TV is so bright, as you just might imagine, and you can see 3D from any distance (up to 5 meters) and almost any usual angle (140 degrees).

Among other things, a new TV is not lacking in content. Ultra-D TV can convert to 3D standard two-dimensional digital image and even analog TV, processing it on the fly. At the same time it can also support the display Ultra-D programs, which contain additional information, but also – other types of 3D signal, such as movies from Blu-ray or 3D games.

Initially, we had nearly passed by this TV, when it showed Armour Home at a press event David Fanning “Digital winter.” Presentation on TV showed one of the standard demos in 3D, which always look a little out of tune. Later we learned that the system allows you to adjust the 3D effect everywhere, from 0 to 200 using the screen as a normal HD-TV or choose a thin 3D setting and get more realistic results.

patented technology developed SeeCubic BV Eindhoven (yes, neighbors firm Philips) still kept secret. Apparently, the new TV operates on principles similar to the principles of a holographic display work than standard 3D raster screen. It generates a light field on the basis of both stereoscopy (different types for each of the eyes), and motion parallax (foreground and background objects). It provides numerous calculations and the principle of guessing – what parts of the image must be in the foreground, and what – in the background. Have to learn a lot of pictures. This means that we have to refrain from giving a final assessment before we will try the TV with content selected by us, and not pre-prepared standard set of clips.

system has three components: a new television format, electronics and software, as well as a special screen.

incoming television signal is processed by a processor set-top-box or smart TV format Ultra-D, and then displayed on the screen – LCD, LED or OLED screen, which has a four-layer optical stack fitted to the front part. During the presentation, the company Armour Home used for processing personal computer processor. However, the company currently Intrinsyc Software International of Vancouver is developing a special motherboard based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 800 (APQ 8074) chipset and HDMI conversion from Toshiba among others. This system can be sold as a separate set-top-box or be integrated into the television itself. TV manufacturers to solve.

demonstration was conducted with the help of 50 Ultra-D2160P-SC, in other words, use a screen with a diagonal of 50 inches, 2160 vertical pixels and 3840 horizontal. This is usually called QFHD, Quad HD, or just 4K. However, this full resolution you get a two-dimensional image of the demonstration. When you use the screen in 3D without glasses, a significant portion of the 8 million pixels used for the Z (depth) measurements. Picture quality XY axis is somewhere between about quality 1080p (Full HD) and 4K. However, in our opinion, it looks better than 1080p picture, Scaled up to 4K.

In addition, users can easily channels broadcast programs in the Ultra-D format, with the ordinary two-dimensional televisions will simply ignore their 3D component.
