Sony is broadcasting the 2011 Wimbledon tennis championships to select 3D theaters across the world using the Sony Digital Cinema 4K digital projection and RealD 3D technology. On July 2 and 3, the Women’s and Men’s finals will simulcast at 3D theaters across the United States. Sony says “the in-theater event gives not only tennis fans but all movie-going consumers an unprecedented and immersive out-of-home experience.” Other Sony-produced sports events in 3D include the Masters Golf Tournament, X Games, MLB’s Home Run Derby, NBA All-Star Games, and BCS College Football. To see if there is a theater near you check out the Fathom ticketing webpage for Wimbledon.
