IRIDAS Introduces World's First Uncompressed Film Resolution Playback
Systems for Stereoscopic Content; FrameCycler 3D and DDS Bichannel offer instant access to stereoscopic playback and precise sequence analysis.
MUNICH, GERMANY-March 4, 2003-IRIDAS, a leading developer of
uncompressed digital playback technology for the film and broadcast
industry, today announced the release of FrameCycler 3D and FrameCycler DDS
Bichannel. With these new playback systems IRIDAS adds real time
stereoscopic capabilities to its product line. Now digital artists, research
facilities, and large format 3D filmmakers have immediate access to
stereoscopic playback allowing for precise sequence analysis of work in
progress and film resolution client reviews.
In contrast to other 3D playback solutions, FrameCycler 3D allows artists to
review sequences at variable speeds, pause, scrub, and even play backwards �
all in stereo vision. FrameCycler 3D supports both dual image stream or
interlaced content. With a professional graphics card, the application
allows for full speed film resolution playback.
FrameCycler DDS Bichannel goes a step further with advanced IHSS (IRIDAS
High Speed Stream) technology to stream two hi-res channels
direct-from-disk. Its RAID array support means that facilities can view
uncompressed sequences of any length in real time. Both FrameCycler 3D and
FrameCycler DDS Bichannel are compatible with all windowed OpenGL stereo
mode capable graphics adaptors and shutter glasses.
"At times it felt we were really pushing FrameCycler DDS Bi-Channel into
unknown territory," said Steve MacPherson, Systems Architect at Jim Henson's
Creature Shop. "Our project is a large format 3D Sesame Street presentation
with some verrrrry long shots! Being able to review material in stereo film
resolution at 30fps on high-end commodity hardware has been a lifesaver both
in terms of client presentation and in terms of verifying renders." (Read

FrameCycler 3D is available through selected resellers and from IRIDAS
directly at a special introductory price of $399 for a single license.
FrameCycler DDS Bichannel introductory pricing starts at $1999 per seat.
