MONTREAL – Bell TV made history this weekend after airing the country’s first national 3D high definition television broadcast.
The DTH behemoth broadcast the final two rounds of the 2010 Masters Tournament in 3D HD to its customers with a 3D television and compatible 3D glasses. Bell TV HD set top boxes are already capable of receiving 3D HD, the company said.
“3D TV is very new technology and few 3D sets are in Canadian homes now”, said Heather Tulk, SVP of products for Bell residential services, in a statement. “But Bell is committed to being at the forefront of television innovation, and we’ll continue to expand our 3D TV lineup as more quality content becomes available."
Bell also said that it will showcase its 3D broadcasts at select locations of The Source and other national retail partners.
