First 3D Sports Event
The Masters will be telecast in 3-D – although not many Americans own the technology to take benefit.
Augusta National declared Monday that next month’s tournament can be watched in 3-D-capable TV sets and computers. It will be the first 3-D sport competitions on TV in the United States; former experiments used movie theaters.
Few Americans presently own the capable sets, but networks suppose 3-D could be the next big thing and are starting to offer programming.
Comcast will broadcast the coverage for free to its clients with 3-D sets. A feed will also be accessible on the Masters’ Web site. ESPN is producing the 3-D coverage.
Two hours of live afternoon coverage, mostly of the back nine, will be aired each day of the tournament starting with Wednesday’s Par 3 Contest on April 7.
