“…As the interest in 3D broadcasting has increased, the major broadcast standard organizations such as ATSC and DVB have been working on developing efficient 3D broadcast solutions [6]. One representative service-compatible method is to transmit two independent video streams for the left and right views, and make one of the two streams compatible with the legacy 2D services.…”

In this paper, we demonstrate the structure and characteristics of the bandwidth-efficient stereoscopic 3-D broadcasting system entitled service compatible 3-D-TV using main and mobile hybrid delivery (SC-MMH), which enables the broadcasters to provide three different types of services (2-D fixed, mobile, and 3-D) by transmitting only the two legacy broadcast streams (2-D fixed and mobile). By combining the two existing broadcast networks, the proposed system provides high quality 3-D services, fully guarantees backward-compatibility with the legacy fixed/mobile 2-D receivers, and maximizes the channel efficiency. One major feature of the proposed system is bit-rate saving based on the video resolution asymmetry between the left and right eye views, also referred to as "mixed-resolution." Although it is well-known wisdom that the mixed-resolution stereoscopic videos are perceived close to the higher resolution based on the binocular rivalry suppression theory, the perceived quality also depends on the factors such as scale ratio, viewing distance, bit-rate distribution, and types of codecs. Therefore, we conducted the objective and subjective tests to measure the service quality of the proposed system and find the optimum bit-rate distribution points, and with the results, we demonstrate that SC-MMH can provide the satisfactory quality when the proper level of bit-rate is allocated to the mobile service.Index Terms-3-D-TV, ATSC, entitled service compatible 3-D-TV using main and mobile hybrid delivery (SC-MMH), mixed resolution, stereoscopic video.

“…Our results are corroborated by more recent studies conducted by other labs (Seuntiens, Meesters, & IJsselsteijn, 2006) and have been demonstrated as viable for practical use (Fehn, Kauff, Cho, Kwon, Hur, & Kim, 2007; Lee, Yun, Lee, Cho, Hur, Kim, Fehn, & Kauff, 2008). In fact, experimental broadcast of S3‐D using a hybrid codec system that is both backward‐compatible with current digital TV system service and conformable for mixed resolution has been tested to be effective in Korea (Yun, Kim, Hur, Lee, & Park, 2010).…”

Stereoscopic three-dimensional (S3-D) visual entertainment has become a hot technology that is emerging very quickly in many new electronic devices and visual communication systems. Although this rapid growth of S3-D technology is relatively recent, visual scientists have been conducting research on fundamental issues of stereoscopic 3-D television (3-D TV) development and deployment for many years. To illustrate how human visual perception research has been applied to the study of stereoscopic 3-D TV related issues, selected experimental studies that were conducted by the Communications Research Centre Canada within the last 15 years are presented. The studies reflect empirical investigations on a wide range of topics from an applied vision research perspective: the prevalence of stereo-deficiency, the potential use of mixed-resolution binocular imaging for reducing transmission bandwidth, the role of stereoscopic object motion on visual comfort, and the use of surrogate depth maps for the conversion of standard video to S3-D format to increase the availability of S3-D program contents.

SUMMARYThis letter proposes a new delivery format in order to realize unified transmissions of stereoscopic video contents over a dynamic adaptive streaming scheme. With the proposed delivery format, various forms of stereoscopic video contents regardless of their encoding and composition types can be delivered over the current dynamic adaptive streaming scheme. In addition, the proposed delivery format supports dynamic and efficient switching between 2D and 3D sequences in an interoperable manner for both 2D and 3D digital devices, regardless of their capabilities. This letter describes the designed delivery format and shows dynamic interoperable applications for 2D and 3D mixed contents with the implemented system in order to verify its features and efficiency. key words: delivery format, unified transmissions, stereoscopic video content, dynamic adaptive streaming service
