Line 1: − The next step-up from traditional 2D video, '''Holographic Video''', and shortened to '''Holovid''' (also referred to as a '''Tri-Vid'''), provides remarkably sharp three-dimensional full motion images. Holovid is among the most common visual video formats of the [[BattleTech]] universe.+ {{stub}} − == Overview == + '''Holovid'''s were films, series, or videos that were widely popular and accessible throughout the [[Inner Sphere]]; they were viewed by using a [[Holovision Monitor]]. In many cases, holovids stretched the truth and exaggerated in order to gain viewers; examples include ''[[The Bounty Hunters]]''<ref name=IP-83>''Interstellar Players'', pp. 83-84, "The Bounty Hunter - Mindless Entertainment to Unmitigated Drek"</ref> and ''[[BattleTech: The Animated Series]]''.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 70</ref><ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 87</ref><ref>''Era Report: 3052'', p. 12-13</ref> − First invented in [[2075]], Holovid technology, such as [[Holovision Monitor]]s or Tri-Vid sets, use a series of lasers to project three-dimensional video, creating a semispherical convex "bubble" that allows viewers the widest possible angle of vision. Despite its advantages, the holovid has not totally supplanted 2D video and traditional "flatscreen" monitors in all situations. The data sizes of Holovid broadcasts are considerably larger, with 2D video formats still in use where storage space or [[HPG]] transmission time is at a premium. Even in regards to home entertainment, "flatscreens" are still quite common thanks to their considerably lower price tags. For this reason, holovid chips and broadcasts are always flatscreen compatible to ensure maximum reach, though with understandably drastically reduced visual quality.<ref name=ER2750-25>''Era Report: 2750'', p. 25: "History and Review - Friends - Underhanded Dealings - Who Remembers Second Place?"</ref><ref name=LTTMWEG-102>''LosTech: The MechWarrior Equipment Guide'', pp. 102–103: "Miscellaneous Gear - Communications Gear - Video"</ref><ref name=MWC-114>''MechWarrior Companion'', p. 114: "Equipment - Personal Gear and Expenses - Tri-Vid Set"</ref><ref name=AToW-29>''A Time of War'', p. 29: "Glossary"</ref> ==References== ==References== Line 8:
