AVS 3D video streaming system over internet

The progresses on PC based 3D video display technology have made it feasible to provide 3D video streaming service over internet. Compared with 2D video streaming, 3D video streaming system demands more network bandwidth, computing power, and more complex transmission mechanism. There are rarely online 3D video services. In this paper, we describe a 3D video streaming services developed by our team cooperated with CNTV and NVIDIA. The main features of the proposed system are high compression performance of 3D video with low complexity both on processing and transmission. The system has been used to distribute 3D content for the 16th Asian Games Guangzhou.
