3D is an exciting new feature for the home theater market. For some dramatic movies or soap operas, 3D might seem out of place. But for sports, action movies, etc. 3D makes as much difference as color vs. black and white. And the new 3D technology is superior to the 3D system that has been used in theaters.

The commercial successes of recent 3D films like “Beowulf”, “Meet the Robinsons”, and “Journey to the Center of the Earth”, is sparking interest with the movie studios to produce more 3D content material. Disney, Universal, Philips, Samsung, Sony, Thomson and IMAX are currently exploring the potential 3D HDTV market. Disney said it would begin making all its computer-animated films in 3D. According to Dreamworks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, all of the major studios have 3D projects under way. There will be over 2,500 theatre screens equipped with the Digital 3D technology by the end of 2009. All of this content will be available to the home theater market. The Big Question: will the 3D market be pervasive enough for major networks, especially the sports subset, to broadcast in 3D?

3D Distribution

It will likely be the satellite TV companies like DirecTV and Dish Network that distribute 3D versions of HDTV programming first. 3D movies should take about the same bandwidth as other 120 fps (frame per second) high def movies. The satellite companies have enough broadcast bandwidth to support niche markets (the cable companies do not), and for now, 3D HDTV is a niche market.

“Satellite’s going to be constrained not so much by how many channels they can carry than by how many they can get,” said Bob Scherman, Satellite Business News.

By 2010, it is projected that 60% of TV receivers in the United States will use a satellite signal, up from 15% in 2002.

3D HDTV Home Theater Systems

Because of the high frame rate for 3D, and the need for synchronization, LCD screens are generally incompatible with advanced 3D. However, prototypes by Phillips have been demonstrated at upwards of $20,000, and this technology does not require glasses. The Phillips technology is optically very complicated. Unlike electronics, it cannot be assumed that the price will come down.

By the end of this year (2008), more than one million 3D ready DLP HDTVs, manufactured by Mitsubishi and Samsung, will have been sold in the U.S. The technology functions by supplying a 60 Hz signal to each eye (equivalent to 120 Hz total). These sets can display standard HDTV, and are compatible with 3D material. Some source material is available for download, and Blu-Ray 3D discs are becoming available. “Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert” was the first 3D Blu-ray Disc.

The Glasses: Field Sequential 3D

Special glasses are used with the DLP 3D system. The system is called “Field Sequential 3D” or HQFS (High Quality Field Sequential). This technology uses electronic shutter glasses instead of red-blue lenses we are used to at the movies. The effect is definitely superior. Our eyes see a slightly offset view of a scene. The two slightly different views are combined by the brain to result in our ability to see in 3D. Field Sequential 3D simulates this experience with shutter glasses. The shutter is not mechanical, but instead an LCD filter, that blocks vision when the opposite eye’s view is shown.

A HDTV set with 120 Hz refresh rate is recommended for 3D viewing. The 3D system uses half of the total information for each eye. If we use a TV with a total of 60 Hz refresh rate, it would supply only 30 Hz to each eye, and that refresh rate would be visible (flicker).

When designing a 3D system with previous 3D techniques, we have the choice of either sending two equal bandwidth signals with full information, effectively doubling the signal bandwidth, or sending the signal such that either the horizontal or vertical resolution is halved, one half for each eye. Doubling the bandwidth would be a problem since the HDTV signal bandwidth capacity is already at a premium. Using the same bandwidth as non-3D material means that we can utilize the technology with current HDMI or DVI interfaces.

The alternative to cut resolution is unattractive, since we have worked to so hard to increase our system to high definition, we don’t want to compromise. By using alternate frames for each eye, we see a high definition signal without flicker.

Two sets of wireless shutter glasses, with a control transmitter (InfraRed (IR), the same technology as the TV’s remote control) cost about $100.

“Hang-Ups” Holding up DLP

Many consumers have a fascination with the idea of hanging their new big screen HDTV on the wall, like a painting. It’s worth noting that most LCD and Plasma big screen TVs never actually get mounted on the wall. It is a significant challenge to mount something that weighs 60-150 pounds on the wall, and once installed, it’s a continuing challenge for maintenance (for example, a 50 inch Pioneer PDP-5070HD weighs 128 pounds).

According to the NPD Group, only 13 percent of current LCD TV owners and 25 percent of plasma TV owners have their set mounted on the wall.

DLP is very popular among those who want larger high picture quality screens at affordable prices. For the money, DLP easily provides the highest quality-size value. An LCD of the same size and price will not have the picture quality of a DLP. DLP is also available in larger screen sizes then LCD televisions.

However, a DLP rear projection TV is a few inches thicker than an LCD or Plasma screen. LCD screens are usually 7-10 inches thick; DLP sets are usually 12-17 inches thick. Because of the fascination with mounting their sets on the wall, this difference of a few inches becomes the deciding factor for many consumers’ purchase decisions.

Texas Instruments, who manufactures the DLP chips in a foundry in South Korea, sees renewed potential for the technology, which uses tiny mirrors on a semiconductor. The new LED Light Engine call “Phlatlight” (manufactured by Luminus) replaces the arc lamp and color wheel design of previous DLP HDTVs. Samsung has had their own proprietary LED lamp system for a couple of years. The LED Light Engine will need to be replaced infrequently (unlike the cold-cathode fluorescent lamps that had to be replaced every few years).

DLP HDTVs with an LED engine are more energy efficient than comparably sized flat panel displays, and the lack of a moving color wheel in the design means they perform with less noise. The DLP chip is faster than any other HDTV technology, with the mirrors switching on and off more than 15,000 times per second to deliver a picture without blur for fast moving images such as sports.

DLP HDTV sets are a very smart choice for most people, but be selective. Many of the HDTV sets in stores still do not have important technology, such as LED backlights.

The compatibility of the TV for 3D can be verified by looking for an input on the back of unit, marked “3D Ready”.

Home Theater Personal Computer (HTPC)

An important trend in the home theater is the integration of the personal computer (PC) with the home theater. Integrating a PC into your home entertainment center has many advantages in addition to enabling 3D video. Downloading movies is one of the advantages. The HTPC should have a graphics card with a DVI connector (Digital Video Interface). Both XP and Vista will support Microsoft’s product for the home theater.

HDTV and 3D video is computation intensive, meaning a high-performance computer. For 720p videos, a dual core microprocessor is needed; 1080p or 1080i videos require a quad core microprocessor for smooth playback. Video files are very large (!), so the larger the hard-drive, the better.

DirectX 9 graphics drivers (software) need to be installed, if they are not already present. To find your current version, Click “START” and then “RUN” from your Windows desktop. Type “dxdiag” in the “Run” box.

Software is available from several different vendors; “StereoPlayer” (Version 1.3.4) from 3DTV.at is available. Purchase of StereoPlayer is about $50. While you are at 3DTV.AT also download the GPL MPEG-1/2 Decoder. Alternatives to Stereoplayer include “Dynamic Digital Depth” (ddd.com), “Stereoscopic Player” and “Tridef Visualizer”.

Summary

3D technology has become a major force in Hollywood. It is probable that this trend will repeat in the home theater. CRT and DLP work best with 3D technology, though plasma systems are also available. DLP offers the better value for big screens using HDTV, not just 3D HDTV.

Outside TV systems are a must have for this summers sports matches from soccer, cricket, motor racing and even cricket, if you are not planning to view these events in your back yard or beer garden, you should be ashamed of yourself.

So ok, if you have been with us on the trek through the last two articles you will know that we have looked at outside speakers and the choices involved with the screen itself, as well as securing them from vandalism and the weather with a weatherproof LCD cabinet. Now we turn our attention to the actual TV connection and getting from the house to the garden.

TV signal Connection.

In your house you will have either a set top box from Sky or whoever supplies you with this service, from this box you will have to extend the signal to the location outside in your back yard. There are two types data cabled and wireless.

Networked solutions.

The first one is hard wired, this will involve running a signal wire from the set top box to your display outside, the main thing to remember is that you must put the cable in some trunking, dig a trench in your back yard and put the ducting and cable into the ditch and backfill it. This will prevent beloved pets from chewing the cable, or someone cutting the cable when you do any gardening.

Wireless connectivity.

With wireless technology becoming ever so much more available the price has started to drop sharply, putting it within reach of everyone – financially. They comprise of two parts the receiver and sender, the sender is connected to the set top box and the receiver is connected to the screen connection of the television set outdoors. Then you are set to go.

We hope this has been helpful and remember the sun screen – have a good summer.

It is common knowledge that the first home theater speaker system appeared in the middle of the 90s. Nowadays all home theater systems have turned into real multimedia systems. Moreover high-class facilities and rightly planned installation allow the owner of the home theater to confirm that this system makes more of an impression than a big commercial cinema. At the same time everything depends not on the quality of the equipment but also on the accuracy of its set-up, on the size and decoration of the room, on the audience layout and so on.

It is not a secret that for a man who has no training and special knowledge it is very difficult to install home theatre in a right way. Speaking more precise, it is impossible.

In my article I want to tell you how to place acoustic system and all of its components and in a right way and also about right audience layout. The main task is to meet conditions of the right installation for which meant modern equipment and speakers. And only in this case your home speaker system will present you with full-fledged surrounding sounding – captivating and three-dimensional.

In spite of the fact that there is a great variety of home speaker systems of surrounding sounds, mass distribution got only two of them: 5.1 and 7.1. First figure means the number of general sound acoustic systems and the second figure after dot means the number of channels of sub woofers. All modern phonograms have only one low-frequency channel, because a modern man doesn’t perceive a source of sound with acoustic frequency less than 100 Hz. The ideal installation of all acoustic system is when the audience sits in the center of virtual circle along which all the parts of acoustic system are placed. This is 5.1 variant. The 7.1 variant is the same but there are 4 speakers: so-called side surround and rear surround. Both of them are placed in pairs.

Loving to spend time out of doors I am always looking for intriguing ideas to improve the outdoor spaces that we furnish. Outdoor televisions are something that I believed to be too expensive. As I am heavily involved in outdoor garden furniture and related items I went to look at just what was available to the consumer.

What I found surprised me. Although by no means a really low priced item, I was surprised at how cheap they are in comparison to normal indoor high definition LCD tvs. The price compared very well. For the total luxury that is afforded by owning an outdoor TV I was surprised that they were not much more expensive. If you have been considering making a purchase then now may well be the best time to do it.

Prices always seem to be lower at certain times of the year for certain products so I would make your purchase while prices are good. Imagine the fun and sense of total luxury to be able to watch a new movie while sitting outside in your favorite garden chair. Who wouldn’t want to be that person?

These televisions are no no longer just for the very rich. If you are thinking of getting one why not have it as a present or as a joint Christmas gift when the time comes. Purchases of this nature are perfect as a gift to yourself and your partner. A cool glass of wine with a loved one while watching a movie outside is certainly going to be a great evening.

If you thought that the prices were too high before then I suggest looking at the very competitive new prices for outdoor televisions.

So, what exactly is 3D TV? 3D TV is the fascinating technology that allows you to experience three-dimensional TV shows, movies and video games with a television. Normally only viewable in the cinema – you will now be able to take that big screen experience into your home.

This emerging technology have many TV developers already producing 3D TV’s for the home – and the dream of seeing 3D versions of your favourite films and TV shows are only months away – as 3D TV’s will be available in the summer and SKY are dedicating a channel to the wonders of 3D.

So there you are – watching your favourite TV show – and then something leaps out at you – the image literally emerging right out of the TV and into your very room. An image so set-out from the screen that you feel you could reach out and touch it, or duck underneath it, or turn around to watch it from the side. That is 3DTV. You will be able to watch your favourite sports with the 3D perspective, which means you can feel as if you are right in their with the action. Feel the spray of mud from a touchdown or cringe from the smack and crunch of a hospital pass gets tackled in the red zone.

3D Television sets will use a variety of techniques to present a 3D image. The techniques include stereoscopic capture, multi-view capture or 2D plus depth imaging. These different techniques will mean that programmes will be viewed in a realistic three dimensional field – so that the image spills out of the TV set and into your home, so that you can almost feel the picture as it looms before you.

In this post-Avatar era, gadgeteers have been bathed in the promising glow of the latest 3DTVs. You may well ask, is 3DTV for real, is it a fad, should you pay the premium for a 3DTV or are you better off buying a standard HDTV? Although we’ve been impressed by the 3DTVs we’ve seen, we’re not convinced you shouldn’t just go with standard HDTV until prices come down and more programming becomes available.
Here are some reasons we think you could feel good about holding off on a 3DTV for now and buying a standard HDTV instead.

1. Very Little 3D Content and Sets Are Expensive
3DTV may be over-hyped. Yes, we are all caught up in the post-Avatar, 3D craze right now, but, with only a few worthwhile 3D movies to speak of, very little TV programming and no major video games scheduled for immediate release, we wonder if now is the time to invest in 3DTV? 3DTV is pretty cool for sure, but it lacks content, and is more expensive than an equivalent HDTV. Keep in mind that the premium you pay for being an early adopter of a 3DTV might very well pay for another HDTV set for your home although, we suspect 3DTV prices will fall over time.

2. LED Backlit LCD TVs
LED backlit LCDs are becoming the standard in HDTVs. Using LEDs as backlighting, instead of fluorescents (CCFL), new LCD HDTVs produce a bright picture with great viewing angles while saving both energy and space. Yes, most new 3DTVs use LED backlighting too, but the influx of new stock might motivate shops to move current LED backlit LCD TVs off the shelves at attractive prices.

3. High Refresh Rate and Internet Connectivity
Until 3DTVs become a better buy, we think you can future-proof your HDTV with features like high refresh rate and Internet connectivity. Internet connectivity will revolutionize your entertainment routine, and can be found on many non-3D TVs. Thanks to services like Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, YouTube and Boxee, the internet is becoming the go-to source for all sorts of media. It is accessible on-demand, across multiple platforms, and, often, completely free. Manufacturers, now, are including broadband, wired and wireless, on many TVs so you can stream your favorite TV shows, YouTube channels, music, and movies, right into your living room.

4. 3D Glasses Could Be a Showstopper
At around $150 a pair, 3D glasses are not cheap. The latest 3D glasses are not the simple disposable lenses of old. These new specs are high-tech wireless devices that work in tandem with your 3DTV to physically block light as it travels toward your eye. Expect to shell out as much as $600 a set for a family of 4. To make matters worse, every parent knows that this equation: Kids + Delicate x Expensive = Trouble.

5. Other Purchases May Be Required With Your 3DTV
Speaking of costly peripherals like 3D glasses, if you buy a 3DTV and want to watch Full HD (1080p) 3D content you won’t be able to use your current DVD or Blu-Ray player. You’ll need a special 3D-Ready, Blu Ray device in order to watch Full HD 3D content. Admittedly, you’ll be able to watch “Half HD” 3D on many “transport” mediums like standard cable or satellite and standard DVD players and you might not even notice the difference but if you want the best quality 3DTV you’ll be looking at a new Blu-ray player and a new AVR (receiver).

Bottom Line on 3DTV Now
We believe sound bargains can be found in standard HDTVs. Sure, you can’t invite a bunch of friends over to re-watch Avatar in 3D, but then again, could you afford to anyway? We say, if you don’t want to pay the premium to have the first 3DTV on your block then go for the HDTV that offers the best picture quality in your price range and make sure it has features like high refresh rate and Internet connectivity.

3D “Ready” HDTV Might Be Best Bet
If you want to hedge your bet you could always look for an HDTV set that can be made to display 3D content when you’re ready. A 3D “ready” HDTV will have a high refresh rate (120Hz or higher), HDMI 1.4 to hook up to a 3D Ready Blu-ray player or receiver, a USB hookup for a 3D glasses interface box, and the TV will have the necessary processing power or 3D “engine” to decode and display 3D content. The problem right now is we’re not sure how you can identify a true 3D Ready HDTV and what level of 3D (Full or Half HD) it’s actually “ready” for (comments welcome). All we can say is stay tuned for more information and be careful about believing the marketing hype or sales pitch. And, of course, you’ll still need to buy enough glasses to outfit all the “viewers” in your household.

Looking for a Good HDTV Instead?
In case you don’t care to be the first person in your circle of friends to have a 3DTV but still want a good quality HDTV here are some good HDTVs for watching sports, good HDTVs for the bedroom, some good HDTVs on a tight budget and even some environmentally-friendly energy saver HDTVs.

As always, we have tons more reviews on the latest HDTVs to help you make the best choice. You can also check out our collection of electronics manuals, and reviews of digital cameras and laptops.

Thinking about buying a new TV, Blu-ray player, or even laptop? Well maybe you should think again because we saw some technologies at CES 2010 that could make a gadget you buy today obsolete very soon.

HDMI 1.4

HDMI is the standard for moving digital media like surround sound audio and high definition video from a source like a Blu-ray player, game console or receiver to your TV or other device. The current standard is HDMI 1.3 with variations like 1.3a, b, and so on. HDMI 1.4 is the latest standard that not only adds support for 3DTV but adds an Ethernet channel that allows the cable to be used to transfer networking data at speeds up to 100Mb/sec for things like IPTV and DLNA (see below). The good news is that high speed HDMI 1.3 cables (the expensive ones) will support HDMI 1.4 features except for the Ethernet channel the bad news is you’ll need a new device for the old cable to work with.

USB 3.0

They would prefer you call it SuperSpeed USB but whatever you call it, it’s much faster than the older USB 2.0. USB 3.0 or SuperSpeed boasts a speed improvement of around 10X over USB 2.0 with transfers up to 300 or 400 megabytes per second. SuperSpeed has been slow to be adopted. Intel, who is promoting a competing technology based on optical cables called Light Peak, has said it won’t support SuperSpeed for another year. In fact, some people think Light Peak which claims 10 gigabit per second transfers might even replace USB especially if vendors like Apple adopt it. Meanwhile, Microsoft is in the process of creating SuperSpeed drivers for Windows 7. The good news is USB 3.0 is picking up speed (haha). We saw SuperSpeed external drives, adaptors, and even a laptop at CES 2010.

3DTV

If you are planning on buying a high end HDTV this year, you may want to consider waiting for a 3D-capable version. A 3D LCD TV (or Plasma) will have a fast refresh rate of at least 120Hz (240Hz is better), circuitry to decode the various 3D broadcast formats, a 3D glasses interface (if it uses active shutter glasses which it most likely will), and HDMI 1.4 ports. We should see more sets appearing on the market in the second half of 2010.

DLNA

The Digital Living Network Alliance has been around since 2004. It now claims to be used in more than 5,500 devices. DLNA has been something of a sleeper for the last few years but at this year’s CES 2010 we kept hearing it mentioned in places like the Samsung booth where they were showing their vision of a “connected” house. We predict you will start seeing it featured more prominently in TVs, mobile phones, laptops, printers, and more. We understand that the DLNA standard might be enhanced to include support for MPEG-4 AVC and Bluetooth in the near future. We advise you to keep an eye on this standard and look for it to be included in any gear you’re considering adding to your household. DLNA and WiFi make for a great way to move digital media around your home.

Mobile ATSC

A variation of the U.S. digital TV standard, ATSC, is emerging called Mobile DTV. It’s designed to send a special TV broadcast signal to mobile devices. The programming will be pretty much the same shows you get over the air and won’t cost anything to receive. We expect to see Mobile ATSC tuners built into mobile phones, laptops, portable TVs, and other devices. Separate tuners are just becoming available but if you want to watch TV on the go, you might want to look for a device with Mobile HDTV built-in.

Ambient Light Sensors and Other Eco-friendly TV Features

One of the new techniques to make TVs more energy efficient is to equip them with ambient light sensors that adjust the brightness of the screen according to the brightness of the room or “ambient” surroundings. New TVs from Vizio, Sony, LG, and others are all coming equipped with light sensors. The top-of-the-line Sony BRAVIA LX900 not only has a light sensor, it has a “presence” sensor that detects people in the room watching the TV. LED backlighting which is becoming more and more common in HDTVs is better for the environment than CCFL backlit TVs for recycling and energy saving.

Connected TV

Everywhere we looked at CES 2010 we ran into TVs featuring Internet connectivity. A TV connected to your broadband service through WiFi or an Ethernet connector can offer everything from streaming services like Netflix, Vudu and even YouTube videos to Skype conference calling. Even though you’ll be able to get Internet connectivity to your TV through set top boxes and Blu-ray players we suggest you look for a WiFi-equipped HDTV set for your next TV set.

Don’t End Up Waiting Forever…

On the other hand, we should probably make it clear that the nature of gadgets is that something new is always on the horizon and if you were always waiting for the next new thing, you could end up waiting forever but we thought you’d want to know about some of these new technologies so you can consider them when you make your next gadget purchase.

With your own marine audio systems, you can transfer your car system to your boat. It is quite new in the market but a lot of stereo products have already been customized to be used on the boat.

In fact, there are car audio manufacturers that are specifically designing for marine audio systems.

You can design your own marine audio systems by following the same steps. Survey your boat. Check the areas where the audio products are placed and see whether the water can reach these.

The amplifiers are placed in the engine compartment near the rear of the boat or under the dashboard. The delicate parts should not be close to the water. The subwoofers can be placed under the seats.

The radio replaces the original radio. With your customized system, you can also adjust the midbass and midrange speakers as well as the twitters. Do this so that the system can fit under the dash or into the side panels.

It helps to take photographs of the locations you would put it in. At least you already have the dimensions with you. These facts can help you choose the products that will fit in the places that you selected.

You can lay the system out in your head or draw it out. Make a plan. Determine where you will put all the components.

For research, you can contact the manufacturers. By using their pattern of where to route the wires, you can set your system up in a coherent manner as well.

You can also contact them for retailer recommendations. By comparing the parts of the marine audio systems, you can canvass for the parts that you want and the parts that you need. Set your marine audio systems up that is your most ideal.

When choosing speakers, we suggest that you get the polypropylene. This is a rigid material that can resist moisture. You can have two 10 inch subwoofers for your speakers.

Remember to design the speakers that will be appropriate for infinite baffle mounting. You can also include four other speakers that are separate from the main ones.

Just make the two way speaker of your marine audio systems the midbass speaker and the midrange speaker. Don’t forget to include a tweeter.

After you’re done designing, take a step back and look at your masterpiece. Then take a step closer and listen in.

The British industry is on the verge of a comeback, according to big names, like Quentin Tarantino.

After the runaway success of films like Slumdog Millionaire, which came home with eight Oscars in 2009, he does have a point.

Danny Boyle’s film is not the only one to capture the world’s imagination, with veteran directors like Mike Leigh and Ken Loach bringing new releases this year as well.

Cemetery Junction, directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, is also coming out this year and even the British art-pack are getting involved with Sam-Taylor Wood’s John Lennon biopic and Steve McQueen’s Hunger.

Kevin Macdonald’s The Eagle of the Ninth and Neil Marshall’s Centurion also see Brits venturing into action and adventure cinema.

British actors have also been picking up accolades, like Colin Firth and Carey Mulligan, who both bagged BAFTA awards this week.

It’s not just the cultural benefit of British films which make them so important, as the industry also pumps £4.3 billion per year into the UK economy.

Around 35,000 people are directly employed in the world of film as well, with almost 100,000 indirectly earning from the industry.

Being at the forefront of technological developments will be important for the UK’s film industry, with films like Avatar pushing the boundaries.

“We want the UK to be at the forefront of 3D’s assault on cinema and TV. With 3D cinema proving a hit at the Box Office, and 3DTV coming to living rooms this year, 2010 is the year for UK producers to grasp the 3D opportunity,” said Brian Lenz, Sky’s Director of Product Design and TV Product Development.
