Abstract: For the first time the Olympics were telecast in 3D. In the past, some 3D coverage was available on a closed circuit basis of limited Olympic events. The London Olympics 3D Channel covered multiple sports, both live and ENG coverage, and provided a full up 3D channel of over 275 hours of 3D programming. The core of the 3D coverage was provided with (3) OB Van remote production units as well as (6) single camera EFP production units. A variety of stereoscopic rigs were used in each of (4) venues along side the Panasonic ENG/EFP P2 3D Camcorder. Some special stereo cameras were also used including: pole cameras, rail cameras, RF cameras and underwater cameras. The paper will present the unique challenges to providing 3D coverage, from organizing the 3D channel as well as the technical challenge of covering sports in 3D while accommodating the full up 2D production. Finally, the paper will discuss what worked and what did not.
