Format conversion from stereo to display specific multi-view formats is an essential post-production process for future 3D services allowing the reproduction of stereo content on a wide range of 3D displays. Conversion results will be demonstrated for an 8 view display.

Fraunhofer HHI offers an ultra-low latency video encoder compliant with the H.264 baseline profile. The encoder is implemented as a hardwired solution, which can be mapped on FPGAs or ASICs without the need of external memory. It is especially tailored to real-time applications and allows up to 1080p encoding with today's FPGA or ASIC technologies.

The Stereoscopic Analyzer (STAN) combines realtime image analysis with intelligent visualization tools and intuitive graphical user interfaces to assist cameramen and production staff in shooting the right stereo content for 3D post-production and 3D live events.
