MC-100という新製品を出すらしい。 BMDやAJAにあるようなミニコンを今更かと思ったが……

興味を引かれたのが、3D関係。2系統で入力された3Dをハードウェアで重畳してくれるらしい。HDMIだとフレームパッキングまでしてくれる。更にフレームシンクロナイザー付き。これは普通の2Dカメラ2つからリアルタイムに3Dを作ってくれると考えてよいかな？だったら面白い。ついでにいうと逆のフレームパッキング分離もできると良かったかな。

Monitoring 3D content can be done on the HDMI or SDI outputs, with several analysis modes such as anaglyph, difference and 50/50. The signal can then be sent on a single SDI cable as a side-by-side or an over/under feed. On HDMI it can be sent in side-by-side, over/under, or frame packing (HDMI 1.4a) mode.

$495で10月発売らしい。
