I know nothing of the subject but can't imagine how 2 cameras would give extra depth unless you were wearing 3D glasses. :-)

Many, many years ago when I lived in Britain for a short period of
time, I couldn't happen but to notice that the television programmes
had an enhanced aspect of depth that was absent in American
television.  One of the retro channels here is broadcasting the
entire Avengers series in chronological order, and I'm noticing that
aspect once again.

The first couple of episodes got my curiosity up as there was no
female character, and looking up the history of the series on
Wikipedia I learned that I had watched the only two remaining
episodes from the initial 1961 season.  Now I'm watching episodes
with Honor Blackman and Julie Stevens, years before Diana Rigg
appeared.

Anyway, one of the things mentioned in the Wikipedia history was that
two cameras were used in the recording, and I'm wondering if this is
the method by which they got that extra sense of depth.  Anyone here
knowledgeable about this?
