Difference between 2d/3d in Scenarist

[lutinor]

Hi all,

Actually cause 3d is 'too young' (hardware) i'm focusing in 2d, my tv, my discs are in 2d.

Notheless, what is the difference in term of assets/authoring ?

In 2d we have a media.264 + sound.ac3 but in 3d? Do you need a bigger bitrate ? A new file format ? A new Scenarist version ? The authoring part is different ?

Thx in adv,

Max.

You need at least Scenarist 5.5+ or BluPrint 6.
Bitrate can go up to 60 Mbps (if I'm not wrong), you will have 2 AVC/MVC files, one base and one dependent and new SPR registers. Also about authoring, you need to do some more checks to handle 3D (mainly the management of 3D, if the user wants 3D, if the hardware supports 3D and so on)

Thx for the reply and x264 can do that ? Or you need Cinevision and co ?

As far as I know, there's a Google SoC about MVC with x264 but actually it's not capable to output MVC stream. You need to use the high-end encoder like CineVision, CC-HDe MVC or DualStream 3D (which is the MVC version of Blu-Code). At lower price you can find MainConcept Reference MVC but I don't know how it performs compared to the above encoders.
