Panasonic, Sony and Samsung unite for 3D specs
Choosing the right 3D glasses for your 3D TV can be a tricky choice – especially as there is still no one clear winner in the standards war. Thank goodness, then, for three of the industry’s biggest players who have joined forces to agree on a new standard for 3D glasses.
The “Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative” is a set of features and standards that Samsung, Panasonic and Sony think should make up the ideal active shutter specs.
Multiple compatible radio frequencies and infra-red polling protocols are being agreed on to ensure that a pair of glasses confirming to the Full HD 3D standard should be compatible with any 3D TV that supports it. The 3 companies are working with 3D glasses manufacturer Xpand 3D.
“This initiative reinforces the consumer electronics industry’s commitment to highest 3D quality and provides technology consumers and theater-goers with a simple but powerful solution to the challenge of interoperability,” said Xpand 3D’s Maria Costeria.
Xpand are readying the first batch of glasses for release in September. Glasses should be backwards-compatible with some existing TVs and fully compliant TV sets will go on sale next year.
