Channel 9<\/a> sought a license for a trial broadcast of the 2012 London Olympics in 3D, and ACMA<\/a> has approved it. The trial begins on 16 July and is open for a month, covering the games which run from 27 July to 12 August 2012.<\/p>\n

All you will need is a 3D TV. A HDTV PVR which supports MPEG4 will happily record the content for later playback.<\/p>\n

Oh, and you also need to be in Adelaide, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth or Sydney.<\/p>\n

WIN TV<\/a>, which will be broadcasting the Olympics in ‘Regional’ areas, like here in Canberra, Newscastle, Hobart and such, did not seek a license and will not be broadcasting in 3D. The reason is actually simple: it would have needed dozens, perhaps hundreds, of new transmitters to deliver something which will only be in place for a few weeks. Not exactly an economic proposition.<\/p>\n

I’ve pasted the ACMA press release over the fold if you want to read the details.

\nOlympic Games 3D TV trials<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Australian Communications and Media Authority has agreed to issue licences to Nine Network Australia <\/p>\n

, provided certain conditions are met, to conduct trials of 3D TV featuring daily highlights of the 2012 Olympic Games, ACMA Chairman, Chris Chapman confirmed today.<\/p>\n

The ACMA has considered Nine’s applications to use unassigned TV channels for 3D TV trials in Adelaide, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. <\/p>\n

‘Viewers with a 3D television should be able to view the trial if they are within the coverage area of the trial services,’ Mr Chapman said.<\/p>\n

To ensure that viewers understand the month-long transmission will only be available in certain areas, the Nine Network has agreed to implement a range of consumer protection measures.
\nThe ACMA developed the measures in consultation with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission following misleading statements from a number of electronics retailers during previous 3D TV trials.<\/p>\n

‘Viewers need to be aware these broadcasts are temporary trials of the 3D TV format and that the long term technology is still developing,’ Mr Chapman said.<\/p>\n

Detailed information about the coverage areas and other aspects of the trials will be available from the Nine Network before the services are due to commence on 16 July. <\/p>\n

Interested viewers can contact the Nine Network on (02) 9906 9999.<\/p>\n
