CableLabs said it plans to tout the latest 3DTV implementations at an Interop event which it will host at its Lowville, Colo., headquarters next month.
The event, running Feb. 13-17, will demonstrate cable set-tops and 3DTVs that are based on OpenCable 3DTV requirements. While CableLabs didn't say which consumer electronics manufacturers will attend, likely candidates included Panasonic (NYSE: PC), which is sponsoring NBC's 3DTV coverage of 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
CableLabs said it has added a suite of calibrated 3DTV video test streams to its 3DTV Lab which were supplied by Allegro DVT.
As more cable operators launch 3DTV networks such as ESPN 3D and n3D--which is owned by Discovery Communications and Panasonic--CableLabs has increased its focus on 3DTV technology.
In 2009, as 3DTV was beginning to gain momentum, CableLabs built a 3DTV Pavilion at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo which displayed 3DTV products from Sony, Hyundai, LG and Panasonic.
