SpectSoft introduces new 3D tools to its product line.

(Oakdale, California -- January 14, 2009) SpectSoft LLC., a leading provider of uncompressed video solutions on the Linux platform, today announced a new standalone 3D (stereo) solution that will be offered up in both software and turnkey form.

SpectSofts newest system, which debut at a recent demo in Northern California offers the ability to take two individual SDI streams in, mix them down and feed them out via DVI/HDMI or Display Port in real-time. The 2 SDI streams can be from any source and they represent the individual right and left eye files that can stream from servers, decks or cameras. This adds value to the workflow by allowing facilities the ability to only have to work with two uncompressed DPX files, right and left eye frames and not separate files to view the images in 3D.

SpectSofts current Rave systems allow stereo DPX frames to immediately be playable for viewing on high-end solutions that accept SDI (Real-D would be one solution that falls into this category). 3d Live, SpectSofts newest solution allows you take the outputs from Rave, or any device and turn them into a mixed down pattern that can be feed into any consumer 3D ready DLP, in real-time. 3d Live also supports many other features that are specific to working in 3D such as keystone correction and image shifting.

"By adding a 3d Live solution into the mix it allows the facility or user to work off the same files, straight from the camera, deck, server or render farm," states Ramona Howard, President of SpectSoft. "The ability to work from the same file saves tremendous amounts of time and gives us that immediate gratification of what does or does not work in the world of 3D. The additional tools in this solution allows users to understand the image characteristics and how they can be corrected in post if they wish. We are releasing a free version of 3d Live, which will be available in the near future."

3d Live supports any standard incoming video stream over SDI, and can be configured to play out via a DVI/HDMI or Display Port connection. The 3d Live turn-key system utilizes an AMD Quad Core system and can be housed in either a rackmount or desktop configuration.

SpectSoft will be showing off both the Rave2K and the 3d Live solution at an upcoming demo in Burbank. The demo will also emphasize the workflow and how you can go from DPX to dailies from the set. The demos are open to all who are interested. Details are:
