At the China International Cultural Industry Fair (ICIF), May 14 to 17, and for the first time in China, the ShenZen Media Group featured 3D TV in real time on the China video standard known as AVS. This was made possible by <a href="www.assimilateinc.com.>ASSIMILATEโข and Telairityโข, who have partnered to offer broadcasters a streamlined, real-time solution for delivery of 3D-TV productions with high-quality imagery to viewing audiences using the China AVS standard.
At NAB 2010 in Las Vegas, NV, <a href="www.assimilateinc.com.>ASSIMILATE and Telairity teamed to offer the first stereo broadcast of an h.264 encoded stream, and now did so again at ICIF with ShenZen TV showing the first broadcast of an AVS stereo stream. A stereo source was uplinked to stereo displays in the ICIF booth, operating like an actual broadcast.
