Encodes images from a single image sensor of a single camera into all existing 3D formats
View Patent ↗Convert the output image signal of a single camera with a single imaging element into any 3D encoding format, record in that format, and use that format to display 3D videos and 3D photos on a video display. Aiming a 3D shooting lens with two light paths equivalent to the left eye and right eye at one imaging element of one camera; the left optical path image is formed on the left half divided centrally by the long side of the imaging element, and the right optical path image is formed on the right half. Set a light shield on the central boundary line to prevent the left optical path image from deviating to the right half, and the right optical path image from deviating to the left half, and convert the image formed on the imaging element into an undeformed or compressed image signal and output as it is.
1 . A method of connecting a capture card's output terminal and its input terminal, with one HDMI or SDI cable to connect a camera to the capture card; the capture card comprises a first independent input terminal, a second independent input terminal, and a loop-through output terminal, the capture card splits one input video stream into two: one from the first independent input terminal for PC processing and another for the loop-through output terminal; via a connected cable between the loop-through output terminal and the second independent input terminal, the video stream for the loop-through output terminal goes out and returns again through the second independent input terminal to the capture card and reaches the PC processing.
