revid: Stereoscopic 3D mode

AusOcean video content is currently two-dimensional (2D) and lacks the perception of depth, i.e., “looks flat”.

Stereoscopy refers to the illusion of creating three-dimensional (3D) depth from 2D images. The most common method is to present a pair of two-dimensional left-right (LR) side-by-side images to the viewer. Stereoscopic 3D video can be created from a pair of side-by-side video cameras, typically separated by the approximate distance between human pupils (the so-called pupillary distance).

This issue refers to the software to implement a stereoscopic 3D video.

In stereoscopic 3D mode, two revid instances will be paired (at configuration time). One instance will be responsible for creating the left (L) image, the other the right (R) image. The L and R video streams will be multiplexed onto a single MTS or RTMP video stream. This could potentially be done by one of the clients or in the cloud by vidforward. The multiplexed stream will also encode the metadata necessary for stereoscopic 3D playback.
