ANT is the leading provider of software solutions and services enabling broadcasters, telco operators and cable and satellite companies to deliver compelling digital media content to consumers. ANT Software enables these companies to quickly create and roll-out innovative and successful TV applications and services, such as games, music, video on demand, betting, competitions, to any consumer device, across any platform.
Rapid TV News has reported that BSkyB is to launch a 3D service in the near future. Sky’s chief engineer broadcast strategist, Chris Johns, has reportedly told a London conference that Sky will increasingly focus on building and delivering its own archive of 3D material as part of Sky’s “Vision of the Future”; services like the Arts Channel, sports and general entertainment will be the first to receive investment.
Sky’s decision to invest in 3D systems is driven by the burgeoning distribution demand from Hollywood, which is said to be releasing some 61 movies in 3D over the next 18 months.
Interestingly, Sky is also said to be focused on delivering everyday 3D home entertainment through simple and cost-effective technology routes without the need for newer “3D Ready” or “HD Ready” set-top boxes.

Only Sky says its possible without 3D Ready STB's as the standard has yet to be set and any format that puts left and right eye in a video frame cannot be used to broadcasting in any long form. Only for PPV and full time dedicated 3D only channels.
