China is to conduct test broadcasts of its first 3D television channel on 1 January 2012. If successful, the channel will go live during the upcoming Lunar New Year Festival in late January.
‘We have started preparations for the country’s first experimental 3D TV channel and have issued two technical guidelines on the production and airing of 3D television programmes and 3D television signal transmission,’ confirms Cai Fuchao, head of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT).
The channel launch will be a collaboration between six TV stations, including China Central Television (CCTV).
