Setting New Standards

---

Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) is a joint venture of Disney, Fox, MGM, Paramount, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal and Warner Bros. Studios. That’s big bucks!

In July of this year, DCI finalized its specifications for “open architecture for digital cinema that ensures a uniform and high level of technical performance, reliability and quality control. DCI will also facilitate the development of business plans and strategies to help spur deployment of digital cinema systems in movie theaters.”

These standards are being embraced globally, even in Singapore. The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) announced support as the Digital Exchange hub to distribute and manage digital content. The standards are expected to encourage innovation and help those who were resistant to investing in the new technology. Their strategy is that the capital investment costs should reduce, as the digital market gets more competitive.
