Some common elements were shared between the 2-D HD and 3-D production of the Sony Open from Waialae Country Club, says Glen Levine, NEP Supershooters VP of engineering.
Coverage of the Sony Open from Waialae Country Club on the island of Oahu, Jan. 10-16, was the most recent example of the close relationship between 2-D HD and 3-D production.
While NEP Supershooters provided separate production facilities and crews for the HD and 3-D productions, both shared some common elements, including sound and video from the crane camera. Making the crane camera accessible to the 3-D production was the new Sony MPE-200 multi-image processor and MPES-2D3D software, which converts 2-D HD to 3-D.
“HD Technology Update” caught up with Glen Levine, vice president of engineering for NEP Supershooters, via phone at the country club as he prepared for a final production walk-through before the broadcast. In this podcast interview, Levine discusses the 3-D setup for the golf tournament as well as where 3-D sports production stands today.
