SingTel to trial 3D TV content in the region

The Singaporean telco will play a vital role in developing a national 3D TV trial by providing the infrastructure and capabilities to allow local broadcasters, such as its own mio TV platform, to play out 3D content.

SingTel’s latest venture is made possible with its multi-million 3D-enabled broadcast playout facility which will allow content producers and broadcasters to address technical issues prior to the island wide commercial roll-out of 3D TV services.

SingTel will also offer a comprehensive suite of solutions to aid media companies in every stage of the production process for content in 3D, High Definition (HD) and Standard Definition (SD) formats.

Titus Yong, SingTel's VP of satellite, said: “From playout services to content editing and post-production, SingTel has the full range of capabilities to make 3D TV a reality in Singapore and the region.”

He added: “We are proud to be catalysts for the development of high quality 3D TV content and services that will usher in an exciting new era for the broadcast and multimedia industry.”
