Hot off the heals of announcements by ESPN and Discovery in the US to introduce 3D channels and content, Foxtel have plans to bring 3D to Australian audiences in 2011.
Foxtel CEO Kim Williams said that the company’s existing high definition set top boxes were 3D ready and test broadcasts had been conducted in Australia.
“Foxtel’s HD set top units have already carried 3D signals in our premises with terrific picture clarity”, Mr Williams said.
Foxtel would continue to run trials on 3D transmissions over the next year, he said.
“I expect Foxtel will bring its first test broadcasts in 2011.”
