Description:

Stereoscopic (3D) displays have become more popular in recent years due to the improvement in display technologies. There is a growing demand of 3D display content and therefore 3D camcorders and similar video capturing devices would be the next hit in consumer electronics. The IC industry needs an efficient and cost-effective stereoscopic image signal processor hardware that can facilitate the video processing of concurrent images from multiple cameras. This processor hardware can generate output in multiple formats to serve various requirements of video encoders and 3D displays.
