Now, watch 3-D films on your cell phone!
February 12th, 2011 - 1:16 pm ICT by ANIWashington, Feb 12 (ANI): Watching 3-D films on your cell phone would now be possible thanks to researchers who have combined the new mobile radio standard LTE-Advanced with a video coding technique.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich-Hertz-Institut, HHI in Berlin, Germany, have come up with a special compression technique for films in especially good high-resolution HD quality.
It computes the films down to low data rates while maintaining quality: H.264/AVC. What the H.246/AVC video format is to high-definition films, the Multiview Video Coding (MVC) is to 3-D films.
Thomas Schierl explained that “MVC is used to pack together the two images needed for the stereoscopic 3-D effect to measurably reduce the film’s bit rate,” and this technique can be used to reduce the size of 3-D films as much as 40 percent.
That means that you can quickly receive excellent quality 3-D films in connection with the new 3G-LTE mobile radio standard. Key is the radio resource management integrated into the LTE system that allows flexible data transmission while including various quality of service classes.
Thomas Wirth, another scientist at the HHI, added, “The 2-D and 3-D bit streams divided up by MVC can be prioritized for each user at the air interface to support different services, thus opening up a completely new field for business models.”
The new technology would be shown at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. (ANI)
