tOG-Stereoscopic 3D Graphics

Stereoscopic graphics

RT Software has a proven and cost effective approach to stereo 3D graphics. ”tOG-Stereo” is an option available across all our products, and the approach is the same across all our products. Ours is a single box solution, running from a single application. This means there are no synchronisation issues between left/right channels.

  • Single PC so lower cost hardware
  • No external timing unit required so again less cost, and also less complexity
  • Option for internal linear keying of graphics onto video

 

Licencing Requirements

Simply order “tOG-Stereo” which is a module that bolts onto your regular tOG licence whether it be for overlay graphics, sports enhancement graphics or virtual studio. It is one licence per TX channel. There is a small associated annual software support charge as with all tOG licences.

Hardware Options

The PC hardware is our standard supported chassis, typically a HP z800. Then there are hardware options as follows:

Internal keying over background in tOG with no key output:

  • 1x PC
  • 1x nVidia SD or HD specification Quadro GPU
  • 1x nVidia SDI output – To provide two outputs, left and right eyes, no Key
  • 1x nVidia Quad input card – To provide inputs

Key output for downstream keying:

  • 1x PC
  • 2x nVidia SD or HD specification Quadro GPU
  • 2x nVidia SDI output – To provide Fill + Key for left and right eyes
  • Optional 1x nVidia Quad input card – If the user wants a live video in

DVS can be used as an alternative to the nVidia Quad input card.

  • Centaurus 2 provides 1x Dual SDI Fill only
  • Centaurus 2 with MultiChannel option provides 2x side-by-side fill

We do not currently support DVS output for stereo.
