Differences between Anaglyph Red/Cyan 3D video and Side-by-Side 3D video:
Anaglyph 3D, commonly seen in Red/Cyan, is the old school way to watch 3D content. The left video image is tinted blue and the right video image is tinted red. Both videos are then overlaid on top of each other and when you are wearing ored/blue glasses the image will appear 3D. The picture is always not that good, but it's really costless to watch Red/Cyan Anaglyph 3D, stereoscopic glasses are common and cheap, even often coming free with magazines showing 3D. Moreover, we can view 3D files in anaglyph formats using red/blue glasses on computers, televisions, online at video 3D sharing sites like YouTube, projectors, mobile phones and in print.
SBS 3D, short for side-by-side 3D (left and right 3D), is a popular choice and widely used 3D format besides frame-sequential 3D when it comes to airing 3D content over cable to 3D TV. Thus, in the case of 720p content (resolution of 1280 x 720), each frame will actually consist of the horizontally scaled frame for the left eye with a resolution of 640 x 720 and adjacent to it, the corresponding frame for the right eye at the same 640"720 resolution. The quality of picture is much higher than Anaglyph. However, to watch the active 3D televisions need the active shutter glasses, then the left and right images flash so quickly so that the human eye is tricked into seeing both left and right images as one 3D image.
