Eutelsat demonstrates 3D HD broadcasts



A leading global satellite operator Eutelsat Comunications is involved in demostraci end-to-end 3D broadcasting, which takes place during the international conference Sat Expo Europe 2009, held on 19 až 21. to 21

March 2009 in Rome, Italy.

Eutelsat to test the capacity to bestow transpondér satellite Eurobird 3 (33 ° E). Tests include live music and projected broadcast in stereo 3D HD on-screen televisions, which are capable of receiving HD 3D.
