Chris Taber and his Polecam took part in a UK broadcast first recently when his rig, fitted with a Polecam 3D HD head was used in the filming/webcast of the Keane set in Abbey Road Studios. The combination of HD and 3D has sparked a revival in 3D worlwide and Polecam with it's 3D head has been playing a part in both the UK and the US.

"Inition last week triumphed with a ground-breaking production of the UK's first successful broadcast of a live event in 3D TV to a domestic 3D TV set, via Sky's satellite network and existing Sky+HD set-top boxes. The broadcast was part of a 3D music event co-produced by Inition, Sky, production company Nineteen Fifteen Productions and Island Records to coincide with Keane’s live performance that saw a 3D webcast of the gig via Keane’s website. Inition pitched the idea to the band back in December when they were using our 3D equipment to film the promo for Spiralling (more on this here). Keane, a band that have a reputation for embracing the power of new technology and connecting online with their fans were quick to take up the idea."
