3D formats for 3D TV
Most 3D TV uses a 3D TV format referred to as Side-by-Side 3D where the horizontal resolution of the HD image is reduced by half in order to store the left eye and right eye images on a single frame. The most common Side-by-Side 3D TV format is the Side-by-Side Half where each sub-frame occupies just half the horizontal resolution of a full HD frame, resulting in a 3D image with 960pixels by 1080 lines instead of the 1920*1080 required for full 1080p content. Side-by-Side 3D may also be used to stack two full 1080p frames in a side-by-side fashion, thus delivering full HD 3D.
