THR's 2012 Digital Power 50

"Broadcasting is the future of 3D," announced Oscar winner Cameron, 57, in April at the launch of Cameron/Pace Group, the company founded with director of photography Pace. CPG develops, sells and leases 3D production technology and developed the Fusion 3D camera system used on Avatar, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Hugo and live broadcasts like the X Games. CPG's Shadow D camera system effectively piggybacks 2D and 3D in a single-camera rig system, so a live event can be filmed in both modes -- a significant budget saver that utimately will help bring 3D to more living rooms sooner rather than later.
