The MUSCADE project will define, develop, validate and evaluate the technological innovations in 3DTV capturing, data representation, compression, transmission and rendering and display adaptations required for a technically efficient and commercially successful 3DTV broadcast system. The MUSCADE reference system architecture is shown in the above figure.

The mission of the MUSCADE is to define, develop, validate and evaluate the technological innovations in 3DTV capturing, data representation, compression, transmission and rendering required for a technically efficient and commercially successful 3DTV broadcast system.
