Title:

An Overview of Digital Cinema

 

Host:

Abstract:

A consortium of Hollywood studios, known as Digital Cinema Initiatives  (DCI), has selected JPEG2000 for future distribution of motion pictures.  This selection was based in part on the fact that JPEG2000 is an open international standard that can support both 2K and 4K resolution projectors from a single codestream. The talk will give an overview of digital cinema, including discussions on image quality, color space selection, security, business issues, and JPEG2000 profiles.
