TDVision Systems And CyberLink Partner To Develop HD Stereoscopic

October 28, 2010

TDVision Systems and CyberLink announced they will showcase their full HD 3D solutions at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. CyberLink said its PowerDVD video player software, integrated with TDVision's 2D Delta decoding technology, delivers HD 3D video decoding capabilities. TDVision is a Full HD 3D (1920x1080 per- view) video encoding and decoding sector. "With 3D technology gaining huge attention in movie industry, we are set to embark on the next wave in digital home entertainment," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. "TDVision is known for its developments in the 3D technology space." The 2D Delta Format, invented and patented by TDVision Systems, makes use of redundancies between the left and right stereoscopic views. This is accomplished by encoding a full resolution 2D view and only the Delta Difference information between the left and the right views. This difference is stored into the video stream in a format that updated decoders and 3D displays can play out in any 3D format at the highest quality possible while legacy 2D televisions and decoders play the stream in 2D, making the system fully backward compatible and display agnostic. The 2D Delta format is also known as TDVCodec and is a key part of the "Multiview Video Coding" (MVC) codec (ISO-MPEG-14496- 10:2008, Amendment 1), an extension to the ITU-T H.264 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) recently adopted by the Blu-ray Disc Association as the "Blu-ray 3DTM" specification. CyberLink is a provider of digital multimedia on PCs and CEs through the use of video editing software, DVD player software, and other multimedia solutions. TDVision Systems is the owner of several 3D-related patents now listed as part of different standard stereoscopic architectures like ISO, MPEG, AVC, and MVC. TDVision's technology allows the acquisition, encoding, deployment, decoding and visualization of stereoscopic 3D HD video streams and computer-generated content within the 3D ecosystem.
