3net adds native 3D and 4K projects
[Philip Lelyveld comment: this is a potential source of native content for the ETC's 4K market research project.]
The new 3D series will be available for global distribution and the studio is finalising post-production on a returning series for the 3net U.S. linear service. In addition, the company has put three new native 4K TV series into development to help keep pace with the growing worldwide demand for Ultra HD content. The announcements were made today by Tom Cosgrove, president and CEO, 3net and 3net Studios.
“The global growth of 3D TV into the home increased by 72% in 2012, and we’re starting to see the impact of those 41 million new sets sold last year as consumers around the world look to their entertainment providers for compelling, original 3D content,” said Cosgrove, in a statement.
“And with a 2013 forecast of continued dramatic 3D TV penetration – and now a faster than anticipated rollout of 4K – 3net Studios is bolstering our current roster of original 3D and 4K production to keep pace with the growing demand from the global marketplace.”
