Sony building first dedicated 3D outside broadcast truck for Sky

All of this will enable 3D to be broadcast on the existing Sky+HD plaform, as well as permitting monitoring and correcting live 3D signals in the truck.

Sony Professional also has an order for a new full-3D cine-enabled HD video production truck for All Mobile Video.

That unit should be completed this summer, and is expected to handle a range of projects from sports to live events and entertainment.

We're expecting a big announcement about Sky 3D TV at midnight tonight, so keep checking our News channel for updates.
