MONTREAL – Videotron is pledging to bring the 3D TV experience to its customers, whether they have a 3D television set or a regular HD set.
Thanks to a partnership with SENSIO, Videotron said that it can deliver anaglyph 3D entertainment “of exceptional quality” to customers with an HD television set and special glasses. Videotron will begin selling the red/cyan plastic-framed 3D glasses this week.
“Already number one in HD in Québec, Videotron is pleased to be able to make 3D widely accessible at last”, said president and CEO, Robert Dépatie, in the announcement. “More consumers will be able to enjoy the best 3D experience, thanks to Videotron’s agreement with the Québec firm SENSIO. We continue to innovate and to deliver quality products and the latest technology to our customers.”
Programming will start this weekend with the airing of Last Day of the Dinosaurs on Discovery World HD. Videotron said that it will also broadcast a number of movies, concerts and sporting events in 3D between now and the end of the year.
