"Nine Network 3D Olympic Trial Operating dates: 16th July 2012 ? 13th August 2012
Where is the trial being broadcast? The 3D trial broadcast will be available in Sydney Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and on the Gold Coast. Please note that the trial is being operated with reduced transmission power and with no in-fill translators, so some viewers may be unable to receive the signal.
What programs will be available? The Nine Network has announced live 3D and highlights coverage of the Olympic telecast, as follows:
* Daily from 11am until 3.30pm/4pm beginning on the 29th of July In between this coverage, a mix of 3D demonstration material will be provided."
My guess is that from reading the above, that when the real broadcast starts, They will drop this service into NZ because we are not included within their broadcast rights.
Oblivian: Also needs to be a 3d Passing capable receiver.
The Receiver just needs to be a full HD DVB-S2 decoder because its the TV that handles the 3D.
Yeah, from what I can gather it's a side by side picture being broadcast in HD, so you'll need a receiver that can decode that, rather than a '3D specific receiver'.
As has been mentioned above, you just set the 3D TV to side by side 3D input and it will do the rest, or go cross-eyed etc...
Fundamentally though, wouldn't this equate to maybe even less than SD in the end? Given the eventual full frame of the shot will be constructed from images of only half the HD screen resolution?
Rate has changed to 11.2 MBd and the mux is now carrying the feed in only one PID of 7424 0x1D00 making most STBs unable to process it. ie, you would need a PeeCee to pipe the stream through to a player like mplayer. I assume they did this to stop us from trying to view it in NZ. ie, Sky may have complained to them.
You could use a modified enigma2 box like a dreambox, openbox, etc to do this as well.
Also full tech details on the transport stream within a transport stream for 12.65 GHz @ 11.2 MBd on vertical polarization modulated with QPSK 3/4:
According to the Network ID of 12803 this is a distribution path uplinked from WIN Nine's Perth station for translation to Australian system B UHF channels @ 578.5, 550.5, 599.5, 683.5 MHz
