Patent ID: 8730300

Claim:
A method of acquiring, transmitting, receiving, and displaying a 3D video signal comprising the steps of: positioning an opposing pair of cameras to capture an image; operating a first of said pair of cameras in a horizontal scanning mode and operating a second of said pair of cameras in a vertical scanning mode, said first and second cameras producing first and second differential video signals; applying said differential video signals to a transmitting apparatus which produces a 3D transmission signal having a center transmission frequency and a dual sideband output, with said first differential video signal contained in a first one of said dual sidebands, and said second differential video signal contained in a second one of said dual sidebands, said center transmission frequency containing control signals corresponding to the scanning modes of said first and second cameras; receiving said 3D transmission signal with a display device adapted to receive and process said differential video signal and said control signals; whereby said display device produces horizontal and vertical scans on a display screen to produce a single 3D image.
