Stereoscopy (Stereo) is a new feature in Lustre 2009 which allows you to grade shots and see them in stereoscopic context. Stereoscopy allows you to take your shots and create the illusion of depth, within the image. In order to create this illusion of depth, you need to present each eye with a slightly different image. This is done by having two sets of footage or conformed timelines; one designated for the left point of view (Left Eye) and the other designated for the right point of view (Right Eye). Once you have one set of footage for the Left and Right Eye, you would use the encoding/decoding scheme to display the image. Encoding is done at the stereoscopic display level by the graphic SDI board and decoding is done by the glasses. This chapter shows you how to enable and use the Stereoscopy features.
