CineForm's Neo3D and LightWave technologies have formed the basis of the new Cinedeck EXTREME 3D, on show now at NAB 2011.

The new Cinedeck Stereo Option adds dual camera monitoring, capture and playback to the EXTREME, giving crews a highly mobile monitoring solution, complete with HD-SDI and HDMI monitoring options.

According to Cinedeck's press people, Neo3D is the "enabling technology" driving the new Stereo Option, as it's built around a stereo MOV file containing temporarily synced 1920x1080 left and right eye images. Just as in a Neo3D pipeline, these images are wrapped together in a single file, and can be displayed on the EXTREME in side-by-side, over-under or interlaced modes as required, meaning it's easier to make dynamic adjustments to convergence.

Cinedeck also praise CineForm's Active Metadata codec for allowing them to reduce the costs associated with S3D conforming, and for enabling realtime colour correction. "This new development will transform the stereo 3D production workflow for Cinedeck EXTREME," Cinedeck assure us. You can judge for yourself at NAB booth SL12116.
