Introducing the one-stop solution for 3D content creators – offering real-time 2D to 3D conversion and 3D L/R dual signal mixing.
JVC’s IF-2D3D1 sets a stunning new standard for 3D content workflow!

It converts live or recorded 2-D video into stereoscopic video in real time, saving significant time and production costs. Standard 2-D cameras may now be used as part of a 3-D production.

The converter is ideal for live event production such as sporting events, music concerts and other live performances. It is also an essential component in the post production workflow when repurposing archive 2-D content to 3-D.

Additionally, the IF-2D3D1 provides 3-D format conversion allowing separate L/R camera signals to be displayed on a single monitor such as JVC's GD-463D10.

2D is converted into 3D in real time. Select from four different 3D mixed formats for stereo video output.

Separate L/R HD-SDI outputs enable conversion of existing 2D content to 3D. Handy for rough editing.

3D output can be adjusted for both parallax and 3D intensity.

Conversion of L/R dual signals to a 3D mixed format, ideal for real-time monitoring when shooting in 3D or when shooting with 2D equipment

Scope: waveform monitor and vectorscope for comparing L/R video streams.

Split: for close comparison of left-eye and right-eye images on one screen with a movable boundary.

Rotation: to facilitate use of a reversed camera setup when shooting in 3D.

HD-SDI frame synchronizer (Time base information is not modified.) for synchronizing a pair of cameras that lack external sync.

Anaglyph and sequential viewing modes for enhanced convenience, providing multiple ways to check 3D content.

Compatible with a wide range of HD formats

Housed in a rugged metal cabinet (1U)

JVC's 2-D/3-D technology is by far the most advanced and efficient real time conversion technology that exists. Connect a conventional 2D high definition source to either the HDSDI or the HDMI input (either a live camera or recorded material). Each frame of the the 2D signal is analysed with depth estimates based on content. Parallax and intensity adjustments can be made to adjust the 3D effect. A stereoscopic output is generated in real time.

Select from four different 3D mixed formats; Line Interlaced, Side-by-Side, Above-Below and Checkerboard. In addition, you can output discrete L & R signals for processing or dual projection, and also stereo output for TV display using the HD-SDI and HDMI outputs (1 each). This means you can hook up directly to projectors, LCD and PDP displays. Anaglyph and sequential viewing modes offer additional ways to check 3D content.

Parallax adjustment: This displaces the left-eye and right-eye images horizontally, offering a choice of 3 different viewing modes. With Parallax 1, you can adjust the images naturally, while Parallax 2 presents anaglyph images. The third mode is Parallax 3, which allows you to make adjustments while displaying the left and right images sequentially.

3D Intensity adjustment: This allows virtual, simultaneous adjustment of curvature and relief, to manipulate the intensity of the 3D effect. As with Parallax adjustment, there are three viewing modes: Intensity 1 (natural), Intensity 2 (anaglyph), and Intensity 3 (sequential).

3D L/R Mixing Functions: Scope

The waveform monitor helps identify discrepancies in the L/R signals from the cameras and is handy for making basic adjustments to the setup. A vectorscope is also provided. Single, parallel, and balanced display modes are offered to compare the signals and enable on-the-spot adjustments to the two cameras.

3D L/R Mixing Functions: Rotation

The Rotation feature is handy for 3D shooting when conditions dictate that one of the two cameras must be upside down. The IF-2D3D1 can rotate the upside-down video stream so both signals can be monitored the right way up. A one-frame delay ensures that both remain in sync.

 

Normal Display	With Rotation Active

The left-eye image is unchanged, but the right-eye image is rotated through 180 degrees. The processing is not instantaneous, so a one-frame delay is introduced on the left to ensure both images are in sync.
