The Future of Digital Cinema

Posted by michael on from the sticky-floors dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The New York Times recently had an interesting article on the future of digital cinema. The article talks mainly about the Digital Cinema Initiatives consortium (formed last year by a group of seven major studios) and its work towards establishing a set of standards for theatrical digital projection. DigitalCinemaMag also had an article back in February about the consortium's efforts which included a few more technical details."

    I've been working with some of the digital cinema technology for the past couple of years. I even worked with the University of Southern California's Entertainment Technology Center which is mentioned in the article. The device we were using operated at 60fps normally. It can run at other rates as well depending on the task. I'm not going to make an quality comments since I was using the system for "non-cinema" work, but the tech is there for increasing the frame rate.
