Abstract: The backdrop to this paper is the rapid pace at which digital cinematography has advanced. Propelled at the dawn of the new century by the multiple technological fronts of HDTV motion imaging it soon separately set off on its own digital pursuit of the imaging attributes of Super 35mm motion picture film systems. The Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) expeditiously developed specifications for the total system based upon 2K and 4K digital production formats. By 2010 there were numerous Super 35mm 4K digital cinematography systems emerging across the world. In 2017 the first full-frame cinematography camera emerged. Others quickly followed. Related acquisition ecosystems encompass lenses, cameras, recording, and on-set reference displays. New generation zoom and prime lenses emerged tailored to the expanding requirements of both movie and television production. Camera image sensors advanced on multiple technological fronts. Digital recording and associated storage media technologies moved especially fast over the past ten years. The emergence of HDR and WCG affected all of these system components, and most especially, the on-set reference display. This paper will report on some recent technological advances in each of these areas of the digital cinematography ecosystem.
