3D Stereoscopic, Left and Right separate video streams

Compressed/ Uncompressed

Uncompressed

Description of video

Scenes from Europe (Bristol, UK & London)

Purpose

Test an encoder to deal with stereoscopic 3D video at 2K resolution and 12-bits per sample), with all aspects of global and local motion, slow/medium/fast motion, with panning, scrolling, zooming, smooth and erratic, high/low contrast, with limited colours/vivid colours and many common subject types

Number of clips

68 Left/Right pairs of individual video clips (34 pairs of sequences at each resolution of 2K and 1920x1080)

Length of video

Total of 38 minutes of paired Left/Right video (19 minutes at each resolution)

Total size on disk

952 GBytes

Video format(s)

YUV planar

Audio format(s)

MPEG-1 Layer II stereo 384kbps CBR 16-bit 48kHz and

WAV linear PCM uncompressed stereo 1536kbps 48kHz

Program name

Purpose

yuvcropsize

Utility program to reduce size of video by removing lines from the top and/or columns from the right of each video frame: allows virtually any other HD size video to be made from the video files provided.

yuvmake1088

Add extra lines at the top/bottom of a 1920x1080 YUV file to make it 1920x1088

yuvletterbox

Add black bars top & bottom (or left & right) of each video frame to create letterboxed (or pillarboxed) video

Example 3D video

The video sample below is low resolution and low bit rate, as

• this is a reasonable size to download
• and can be easily viewed on an ordinary monitor as it is anaglyph

Yes, we know anaglyph is bad, but at least you can easily see it on a normal monitor, with just a pair of red/cyan glasses (red over the left eye), and many people investigating 3D may not yet have polarized monitors or shutter glasses.

NOTE THAT THE ACTUAL TVIDS SUPPLIED ARE UNCOMPRESSED, SEPARATE VIEWS OF LEFT AND RIGHT

1min 10 secs (intro is 2D: 3D follows from 13 secs)

(Also don’t forget that there is some quality loss
due to the compression down to 2MBits/sec)

Example paired images

Single L+R frames from 6 of the clips: click image to view JPEG images: NOTE some quality loss due to JPEG

Note:

In T3D003, most of the clips are colour corrected but some are not [e.g. 16_Duck_truck], as this represents the situations a codec will encounter
