The world Cup in 3D

The "Car 8", owned and operated by French Company AMP is the first european van equipped for 3D shooting and will go to South Africa. This broadcasting van will be one of the 2 platforms in charge of shooting the matches in stereoscopy (3D) and has also been chosen for international broadcasting of the opening match and the final of the FIFA World Cup.

The "Car 8" will be in charge of the shooting of one match in Durban and 15 matches in Johannesburg, shared between Soccer City Stadium and Ellis Park Stadium.

This van has just been retrofitted to be 3D ready and was put into service at the beginning of april 2010. The internal design was adapted to the multi-cameras 3D shooting. This van is equipped with Sony 3D Boxes and 3D layers. Main and a second production areas, vision control area and one of the 2 VT areas can receive 8 "convergence" technicians and the 3D director.

10 technicians of the group AMP VISUAL TV will go to South Africa to cover the world Cup in 3D and will display their competence to make this first shooting an amazing event.

This shooting rewards all the efforts of our Group in acquiring a valuable amount of experience in this new technology, as well as its R&D policy to industrialize 3D shootings.
