Last week I attended the 3D World conference at the Content and Communications World (CCW) 2011 in NYC. Although my main interest has been the professional aspects of the 3D industry from content acquisition to display devices I always find interesting other digital TV subjects and initiatives in conference tracks and discussion panels, this time 4K was very notorious. As I did in 3D World 2009 and in 2010 I flew in and out of NYC the same day so I had to make my conference day as effective as possible, this was a long day indeed.

HDTV Magazine is a sponsor of this conference and I wanted to be present. I did not plan to write about the event, but that changed when I noticed the 4K coverage. So what was the 3D World about this year? It was very obvious that the industry is looking again to sell more technology to consumers after 13 years of HDTV, about 6 years of 1080p, 5 of Blu-ray, and 2 of 3DTV. For them it was time for another pocket shocker, actually the pocket shocker never stopped.  …
