As reported on the TVB Europe website this morning, BSkyB has announced in its Stereo3D spec document, that it will not accept programme content on its Sky3D channel that was originated in 2D. Prodycers are allowed to submit content that contains up to 10% shot in 2D HD, but entire conversions are banned.
The document reads:
"The enable the 3D programmes to retain the highest quality throughout, a minimum of 90% must be native 3D footage. Where non-HD footage is utilised, it should sit within the editorial context of the programme. The 2D originated footage must be HD, be of segments not exceeding one minute, converted in a suitable manner to fit the 3D content and be of shots where there is minimal benefit from a true dual camera acquisition."
And, if that's not clear enough, the spec document goes on to state that converted content is
"not acceptable and may only be proposed by prior agreement, with understanding of the editorial techniques and conversion process involved."
