• Parallax – know the depth of a shot by seeing the actual positive and negative parallax values at any distance with the subject in focus
• Separation – learn how various objects in each shot will affect the on-screen image quality based on separation and distance from the cameras (includes “Maximum Positive On-Screen Offset”)
• Lens – determine the appropriate lens or zoom to achieve the desired 3D effect
• Shooting style – choose “Converged” or “Parallel” style to customize shots and plan post-production workflow
• Camera Setup – set camera model, lens type and interaxial range; test real shots with interactive shot settings and quickly rearrange the setup real-time
• Stereo Solver™ Mode gives the exact settings needed to accomplish any shot while ensuring far objects’ parallax never goes over defined maximum on-screen offset
• S3D Calculator Mode functions as a pure 3D reference calculator with interactive value tables

Again, this is not an app for a casual user, as it comes with a hefty pricetag of $299.  But it is invaluable for anyone shooting a 3D production as it saves time and money in the planning process.

The thing I’m wondering about is how long it’s going to take for Adobe or Autodesk to buy these guys out. I’m going to guess October of 2011. At any rate you can find out more about 3DTV Solutions here, and we are going to keep a close eye on this outfit, and do our best to get a demo of the software at 3D Stereo Media conference which is going on this week.
