For those of you plugging your ears whilst humming along in hopes of this whole
3D revolution
fading away, we've got a rude awakening headed your way. Just days after hearing that the HDMI specification
could be updated to better handle stereoscopic 3D content, along comes word that Panasonic has submitted a proposal to the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) for an official BD standard to store 3D imagery formed of "left / right-eye two-channel Full HD images." Panny reportedly made the move early in order avoid a format war, but really, it's just looking to cash in on royalties for the next
decade five years or less. It's no secret that movie studios are
dead set on moving forward with 3D production -- might as well be ready on the other end, right?
