MONTREAL, QUEBEC: Sensio, creator of 3DTV technology, said it’s raised more than $3 million through the sale of purchase warrants. Sensio said 5,293,750 share purchase warrants were exercised, providing the proceeds.
“In recent months, we have demonstrated our ability to achieve a broad industry validation, to sign new licensing deals based on our re-affirmed patent, and to continue to hit our strategic milestones,” said Nicholas Routhier, president and CEO of Sensio (TSX VENTURE:SIO).
Sensio’s 3D technology enables the display of 3D content through traditional 2D channels and devices, including plasma and other hi-def TVs. It’s one of several technologies presented to the 3DTV task force formed last year by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. The SMPTE group is establishing a home mastering standard as the foundation of 3DTV, from content creation to display. An interoperable 3D standard for consumer TVs is expected to be established over the next two years.

These are likely to be pay-TV operators, keen to differentiate their platform and consumer proposition. Technology decisions made by these players may not suit the current or future needs of free-to-air broadcasters.”
