| Nevion captures NASA’s lift-offs in 3D video |
| Posted: August 2010 | ||||||
Nevion, a video transport solution provider for broadcasters, service providers and government entities worldwide,
recently helped NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to successfully transport stereo 3D video of two space shuttle launches in real time.The experimental terrestrial transmission was a proof of concept, utilising the stereo 3D video capture of the Atlantis and Endeavor space shuttle launches at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Nevion’s VS861 fibre transport solution transported three live uncompressed 3D video feeds from the launch gantry and towers back to NASA Command Center, providing a 360-degree 3D view of the launch in real time. With six HD-SDI ports — each with a HD data rate of 1.5Gbps — to support three stereo 3D cameras, the VS861 provided a space-saving, easy-to-operate and cost-effective solution for transporting uncompressed video. It was also the first time that NASA had used digital video instead of film. “The use of stereo 3D in space shuttle launches has a variety of critical applications such as debris verification, so we’re looking forward to seeing where this takes us in future. Whether for real-time 3D video monitoring of space shuttle launches, or 3D sports and entertainment like the Masters Golf Tournament, Nevion solutions continue to define the cutting edge of advanced video transport,” said Eugene Keane, president of Nevion, USA.
