The 3D content will be received live in Moscow and Paris and displayed for the first time on Samsung's first generation of Full HD 3D TV sets.

    In an agreement announced today between Eutelsat and General Satellite, up to 500 hours of 3D content produced by General Satellite will further enrich the line up of Eutelsat's All-3D channel. General Satellite is already Russia's leading supplier of HD content for the Platforma HD package broadcast across European parts of Russia via EUROBIRD(TM) 9A.

    The dance sequences in St Petersburg will be filmed in 3D (two video signals and one audio signal), mixed, encoded and uplinked to Eutelsat satellite capacity from an SNG truck at the Mariinsky Theatre. The live signal will be delivered to six Samsung 3D Ready 55" displays via a standard HD set-top-box produced by General Satellite. Viewers will watch the ballet sequences using Samsung Active glasses to show the lifelike depth and colour clarity that is now possible in consumer homes.

    Commenting on the premiere 3DTV transmission, Michel de Rosen Eutelsat CEO said "Coming only three weeks after the remarkable 3D broadcast to cinemas in France of the Six Nations rugby match between France and England, this premiere satellite-delivered 3DTV display will be a new landmark in the rapidly emerging market for transmitting premium 3D content. Eutelsat has been the trailblazing satellite partner in this transformation. Since content will always be king, we are delighted to conclude the agreement for 3D content with General Satellite that will enrich the programming on our unique All-3D channel on EUROBIRD(TM) 9A."

    Andrey Tkachenko, Chairman of General Satellite Corporation added "This live ballet transmission marks a brand new step in General Satellite's European ambitions for 3D, in close technical partnership with Eutelsat. Viewers with the appropriate equipment can now watch high-quality 3D content broadcast by General Satellite and Eutelsat from the EUROBIRDTM 9A satellite."

    N.DS set to change name to reflect Cisco ownership

    14-06-2012

    '' Technology provider N.DS will get a new name following its take-over by US electronics giant Cisco.

    The N.DS brand will disappear, Yves Padrines, vice president and general manager at N.DS for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, told German industry magazine "Digitalmagazin" at the trade fair ANGA Cable in Cologne.

    By the end of this year, the company will be renamed Cisco Service Provider Video Technology Group, said Padrines. Product brands such as VideoGuard, MediaHighway or Snowflake will keep their names, though.

    N.DS provides conditional access solutions, middleware and other technologies for digital and interactive television to broadcasters including BSkyB, Sky Deutschland and Kabel Deutschland. ''
