Stereoscopic 3-D TV webcast

With limited RF bandwidth, terrestrial stations are constrained by the current state of consumer TV receivers in the home to manage the high computation and bandwidth demands for 3DTV. This paper presents an experiment of delivering stereoscopic 3DTV on-demand content over HTTP network. Our approach makes use of the newest adaptive streaming mechanism for webcasting 3D to individual TV users. The goal was to explore whether HTTP network can or does transport HD quality stereoscopic 3DTV using a desktop computer for 3D decoding and how far it is from the reality. Ultimately, we seek to conclude and to present the problems we met and potential research on webcasting of advanced multi-view 3DTV.
