If you were playing around with your shiny new 3DTV at midnight last night, you may have discovered that the new trial 3D channel went live. And according to a press release from Panasonic today, the channel went live showing footage filmed on Panny’s AG-3DA1 Full HD 3D camcorder.
The whole roll out of 3D in Australia has been a huge pissing contest. First it was SBS “looking at” the idea of broadcasting the World Cup in 3D. Then Channel Nine claimed it would offer the country’s first 3D broadcast with the State of Origin. Then Foxtel decided to shout out “First!” with Fox Sports 3D’s upcoming broadcast of the Socceroo’s friendly against New Zealand next week. And now Panasonic are bouncing up and down that footage from their 3D camera was the first 3D broadcast in Australia.
Did anybody check out the footage on their new 3DTV? What did you think?
