Titles already contracted for include Piranha 3DD, Bait 3D, Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil, and Spy Kids: All the Time in the World.

"We are thrilled that Starz Digital Media is getting on board with us to launch the first dedicated 3D VOD channel," said Richard LaBerge, SENSIO executive vice-president and CMO. "With select 3D titles from The Weinstein Company and Anchor Bay Films now secured and under licence for rental, we are more determined than ever to realise our promise to address the lack of 3D content on the market and to support our SENSIO Hi-Fi 3D customers with the best library of 3D content."
