3D TV Promotions Have Begun
3D TV is moving right along with major manufacturers and retailers rolling out new offers. Panasonic has paired up with Fox to give away the 3D Blu-ray edition of “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” as an incentive to buy its TVs and Blu-ray players, while Samsung will provide free copies of DreamWorks Animation’s “Monsters vs. Aliens,” followed by the “Shrek” films. Sony had already been touting its own 3D-at-home technology with “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”
Companies hope that providing consumers with something they can instantly watch on new 3D TVs and Blu-ray players will entice them to pony up the thousands of dollars to buy the hardware.
Panasonic started selling its 3D TVs at Best Buy’s store in New York’s Union Square on Wednesday, bundling a 50-inch plasma TV, one pair of glasses and a 3D Blu-ray player for $2,900. The glasses alone cost $150, while the 3D TV is $2,500.
Fox won’t start offering “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” to Panasonic customers until April. Pic will be its first 3D release on Blu-ray. It has not yet set a release date for the 3D homevid version of “Avatar.”
Meanwhile the 3D Blu-ray version of “Monsters vs. Aliens” will be bundled with Samsung Electronics’ 46-inch set, two pairs of glasses and a 3D Blu-ray player for $3,000, also starting this week.
As a promotional tool, Samsung will have an exclusive on the 3D Blu-ray versions of all four “Shrek” movies later this year for a full year, while regular versions of the Blu-rays will be available through all retailers.
Rivals LG Electronics will introduce its 3D TVs in stores in May, while Sony will bow its hardware in June, and Vizio in August. The TV sets will be able to switch between 3D and regular 2D.
Partnerships between electronics makers and Hollywood aren’t unusual. Bundles of movies with hardware was common when DVD and Blu-ray was introduced, to get consumers to adopt the homevid formats.
Fox had already been working with Panasonic to promote movies, including “Avatar,” while DreamWorks Animation has long paired up with high-tech brands to promote its toons.
As studios release more movies in 3D in theaters, their homevideo divisions are hoping that the sale of 3D TVs will take off and help sell higher-priced 3D Blu-rays, as well, significantly boosting profit margins.
It’s expected that owners of 3D TVs will seek out other movies to view, and the bundles will remind them of other titles that are worthy of slipping on a pair of 3D glasses.
“There may be a couple of times that are considered game changers in the industry and this is that moment for home entertainment,” said Mary Daily, executive VP of marketing for Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. “Over the last year we have seen 3D invigorate the theatrical experience and it will do the same for the living room.”
Naturally, it helps that customers are already fans of the movies being offered.
Sky to Make TV History with the Launch of 3D TV
Sky 3D channel to launch in April with live Premier League football every week, starting with Arsenal versus Manchester United
ISLEWORTH, ENGLAND, February 03, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ — Sky has announced that it will launch Sky 3D, Europe’s first dedicated 3D TV channel, this April. As part of the final preparations for this ground-breaking launch, Sky will preview the new service with a world first on Sunday 31 January 2010, becoming the first TV company anywhere to broadcast a live 3D TV sports event to a public audience. The Premier League clash between Arsenal and Manchester United will be filmed in 3D and broadcast over the Sky platform to selected pubs around the UK and Ireland, with their customers becoming the first audiences anywhere in the world to experience live Premier League in 3D.
To support this landmark broadcast, the nine pubs – located in London, Manchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin – have been kitted out specially with some of the first ’3D Ready’ TV sets to reach the UK and Ireland. As 3D TVs become more widely available, Sky will roll out its 3D channel to hundreds of pubs from April, allowing football fans across the country the opportunity to experience a live Premier League match in 3D each week.
Once 3D TVs begin to reach the consumer market later this year, Sky will then make Sky 3D available to all Sky+HD customers, giving millions of people the opportunity to watch a wide range of content in 3D, including movies, sport, documentaries, entertainment, and the arts.
Sky 3D works with all existing Sky+HD boxes and will initially be introduced at no extra cost for customers who subscribe to Sky’s top TV package and the Sky HD pack. Sky 3D will also be compatible with all 3D Ready TVs coming to the UK and Ireland this year, including all models from Sony, Samsung, LG and Panasonic.
To make the 3D preview a reality, Sky Sports will produce two edits of its live coverage of Sunday’s game at the Emirates Stadium, one for its HD channel feed and another dedicated to 3D. Eight specially engineered 3D camera rigs will house sixteen of Sky’s high definition cameras, to provide comprehensive stereoscopic coverage from all angles. The 3D broadcast will be supported by Sky’s dedicated 3D production team and purpose built 3D outside broadcast truck, which will enable live mixing between camera positions, slow motion replays and the use of innovative 3D graphics. There will also be a dedicated commentary team to support the 3D edit.
Jeremy Darroch, Sky’s chief executive, said: “3D is without doubt one of the most talked-about developments in television for many years. Sky has always innovated to bring customers the best possible viewing experience, so we fully intend to take the lead in bringing the spectacle of 3D to the UK and Ireland.”
