Satellite operator SES says it is now carrying more than 1200 high-def channels. It is also carrying a few dozen 3D-TV channels, and is slowly but steadily adding more. Because there is such a limited market for producers of 3D material, how can an extra revenue stream be generated? How can a 2D project be structured to include 3D, and thus exploit a potential extra revenue stream? This expert panel will offer valuable advice to producers and programme commissioners.

David WOOD EBU | Deputy Director, Technology and Development
David Wood is Deputy Director, EBU Technology and Development, at the EBU Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. He is (figuratively) the 'old man' of 3DTV having taken part in the world's first 3DTV live broadcasts in 1982 in Germany. He was also the first to suggest technical standardisation for 3DTV, and he has chaired the standardisation programmes in the ITU and DVB CM-3DTV group. He has been the subject of attacks on the Internet for even suggesting that 3DTV might cause some degree of eye discomfort. Despite this he is one of the biggest 3DTV enthusiasts, and has been a 3D photographer for nearly 20 years. 3D is atthe same time one of the most exciting media forms, and the one that needs the most care and attention in production grammar.
