French disc replicator QOL (Europe's first independent BD maker) has manufactured its first 3D Blu-ray, a demonstration disc featuring HD footage of the latest Roland Garros French Open tennis tournament, as well as excerpts of Jean Michel Jarre's 2010 World Tour. The disc was commissioned by Panasonic France, and 3D authoring and encoding have been performed by Mastery International Pictures.
The first 3D Blu-ray generally released in France was Sony's
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.
Panasonic is planning 3D Innovation Centers in Europe, New Jersey and Los Angeles in addition to the existing site in Japan.
