TDVision Systems, Inc., was a company that designed products and system architectures for stereoscopic video coding, stereoscopic video games, and head mounted displays. The company was founded by Manuel Gutierrez Novelo and Isidoro Pessah in Mexico in 2001 and moved to the United States in 2004.
The company asserted that there were problems with some 3D deployment technologies, including lack of compatibility with 2D existing pipelines, side effects due to visual artifacts, and detriment on the quality, color, or resolution of the stereoscopic images. The company designed a stereoscopic system that it claimed can reduce some of these side effects by providing full HD left and right images to each eye rather than using interpolation or pixel sub-sampled images.[1] This included a codec called TDVCodec AKA 2D+Delta unveiled in 2007, designed to work with current hardware, such as Blu-ray discs, DVDs, set top boxes, and satellite receivers[citation needed]. The 2D+Delta method is similar to that used in the MPEG-2 Multiview profile and the more recent MVC (Multiview Video Coding) standard.[citation needed] Other TDVision products included the first consumer electronics stereoscopic 3D full HD video camera[citation needed] called TDVCam in 2006 and a head-mounted display for 3D stereoscopic full HD 720p video viewing Head Mounted Display device called TDVisor in 2007.
