More 3D news

The market for 3D content continues to grow. Bloomberg reports that a US factory making 3D cinema equipment is working around the clock.

The three largest U.S. chains are outfitting 14,000 screens for digital projection after raising $660 million.

There are about 2,000 digital screens in China, including 800 that are equipped to show movies in 3-D, Li said in an interview. Even small cities in China are installing 3-D equipment, he said.

In addition to that, in September 2010 Sharp will introduce small 3D displays that don't require special glasses. The company bets that eventually all portable devices will be 3D-capable.

As a result of this expansion, demand for 3D content will increase dramatically, which in turn will put pressure on storage and bandwidth. From a system analysis point of view, we are witnessing a change in payload packaging (from 2D/analog to 3D/digital) - a clear sign that the whole system, including production (source), control, and distribution infrastructure, will have to change.
