College Football Championship to be Broadcast in 3D to CES
BCS Championship to be shown in 3D at CES and select theaters in Boston, Los Angeles and New York.
First it was the NFL, now its the NCAA.
Fox Sports will broadcast college football's national championship on Jan. 8 in 3D to audiences at the Consumer Electronics Show and select 3D theaters in Boston, Los Angeles and New York, according to Variety. (via Engadget)
The BCS Championship game will be shown at the same 3D theaters as tomorrow night's NFL game between the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers.
Fox CEO David Hill announced the news during the 3D Entertainment Summit. Hill says it'll be a long time before 3DTV becomes mainstream.
"I hope the TV industry doesn't get conned again the way we did with HD," Hill said. "And we got conned. It cost us a fortune to go to HD, but do we get a penny more from the advertisers? Do we get an extra rating point? No. Everybody benefited but the broadcasters."
The NFL teamed with 3ality Digital and RealD to broadcast the first NFL game in full digital 3D tomorrow night. The 2004 Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers was also shot in 3D by a predecessor company to 3ality.
"For 3-D to become impactful in the homes of the world, the people that make money are going to have to subsidize it," Hill says.
"I can't see us making a move into 3-D until a good fairy comes flapping into my office with a check. But still, it's sitting there, we know it's going to work, and some day someone is going to do something."
