De Petit Prince de Saint Exupéry qui prend du relief à Phillips qui délaisse la production de TV en 3D stéréoscopie, en passant par un colloque qui analysera le 23 avril prochain l'impact des télévisions en haute définition et en grand écran, voilà un petit tour d'horizon technologique par notre équipe.

Une adaptation du Petit Prince en 3D

Transposer le Petit Prince sur le petit écran, voilà le projet ambitieux d’Aton Soumache, cofondateur de la boîte française d’animation Method et Olivier D’Agay, neveu d’Antoine de Saint-Exupéry et directeur de la succession Saint-Exupéry-D’Agay.
Ce projet né il y a deux ans vise principalement à partager les valeurs du Petit Prince et l’onirisme de Saint-Exupéry. La série se composera de 26 épisodes de 52 minutes. Ces 26 épisodes raconteront les aventures du Petit Prince avant son arrivé sur terre. Autrement dit, 26 planètes à découvrir !
Des développements en jeu vidéo sont aussi en projets, tandis que l’adaptation d’un long métrage n’est pas à exclure. Pour découvrir le Petit Prince hors de son livre, il faudra attendre Noël 2010.

Philips arrête les TV autostéréoscopique

Voici le mail que nous avons de Jos Swillens, CEO Philips 3D Solutions, un message qui ne manque certes pas d'intérêt.

"Dear reseller,

Herewith, I would like to inform you that Philips discontinues the sales of the 42-inch 3D display (42-3D6W02). For detailed information on the availability of these 3D displays and other questions, please refer to your own distributor.

Because of current market developments, the point in time where mass adoption of no-glasses based 3D TV will occur has shifted significantly. Therefore, Philips has decided to stop the 3D Solutions venture. Philips has been marketing its leading no-glasses based 3D technologies through a pro-active approach for a long time, because it believes that over time, no-glasses based 3D TVs will bring the ultimate 3D experience to the home. Unfortunately, the current market developments no longer justify such a pro-active approach: the point in time where mass adoption of no-glasses based 3D TV will occur has shifted significantly. As a consequence of this, Philips has decided to scale down its investments in this area. In practice, this means that the 3D Solutions venture will be discontinued. The TV business of Philips Consumer Lifestyle is not affected by this decision. The TV business of Consumer Lifestyle will evaluate the options to develop 3D consumer televisions in the future, depending on the latest consumer insights and the level of consumer demand.

We would like to thank you for your support and efforts in reselling our 3D displays.

Best regards,

Jos Swillens
CEO Philips 3D Solutions"

T(e)V-olution - "From today's content production to tomorrow's consumer experience"

23 April 2009 Lint, Belgium

Higher resolution and bigger screens have an impact on the quality requirements of TV signals. Analogue signals are definitely out of the question and even standard digital TV may not be sufficient to benefit fully from the potential of the new big screen technologies. High Defnitiion TeleVision (HDTV) changes the consumer experience completely and turns the home into a cinema like environment especially if an audio system is connected. Broadcasters are faced with the challenge to move to HD rapidly and the consumer electronics market needs to provide Set-Top-Boxes allowing new features. In parallel to this HD-revolution another evolution will change the way we look at TV. As a consequence of the internet boom new ways of watching TV are emerging. Will user generated content replace part of the content we used to get from the broadcasters? This symposium will cover these different aspects in the setting of the Alfacam television studios.
