Once again the sweeping views of Augusta, Georgia will be center stage for golf fans around the world and once again, Sony has stepped up to help broadcast the world famous Masters Tournament in stunning 3D kicking off this Thursday, April 7th. As you may remember last year’s tournament was greatly anticipated by interested viewers for a variety of reasons. While the challenge for the players was the difficult course and immense pressure, for us it was the opportunity to help produce and broadcast the first ever golf tournament in 3D. This year, ESPN3D has expanded its coverage to include all four rounds of the tournament.
Multiple 3D professional cameras and equipment are strategically placed throughout the course to see the swings, the scoring and of course the breathtaking scenery of Augusta National. Whether you’re a golf fan or not if you have a 3D TV it’s worth tuning in to see the amazing 3D cinematography. The Masters website also has tips on how you can view the content on 3D televisions and notebooks.
The Masters footage from 2010 has been shared at many of our events and is often a show stopper as passerby’s gather around the Sony monitors to see the quality 3D images, for some it’s the first time seeing this level of quality in 3D.
For those who want to see the Masters Tournament in 3D but without the capability at home, you’ll have the chance at a few select Sony Stores.
Participating Sony Style Stores: Topanga, Tampa, The Woodlands, Dallas, South Coast Plaza.
