Stereoscopic video coding explained

3D video coding is one of the processing stages required to manifest stereoscopic content into a home. There are three techniques which are used to achieve stereoscopic video:

1. Color shifting (anaglyph)
2. Pixel subsampling (side-by-side, checkerboard, quincunx)
3. Enhanced video stream coding (2D+Delta, 2D+Metadata, 2D plus depth)
